Accessing Ads Manager
Ads Manager lives inside Meta Business Suite. There is no separate 'Ads Manager account' — when you create an ad account in Business Suite, you automatically get Ads Manager access. Navigate directly to adsmanager.facebook.com and log in with the Facebook account linked to your Business Suite.

Ads Manager Interface Overview
The interface has three main levels: Campaigns (set objective and budget), Ad Sets (targeting, placements, schedule), and Ads (creative, copy, destination). Use the column customisation feature to show the metrics most relevant to your goals. Save custom column presets for quick access.
