Manage multiple Facebook accounts without going crazy!

. 10 min read

Marketing companies, social media managers, and agencies are often in charge of many Facebook accounts. Even for only one company, there is a high chance that they have multiple Facebook Pages and Groups for different stores, sub-brands, or events.

Doing every step manually creates an extra operational workload for experts. And we hear and understand your concerns! As experts, you should primarily focus on strategic tasks rather than operational jobs. After all, social media management is a challenging job.

That's why we have decided to create a guide for you to manage multiple Facebook accounts more efficiently and professionally.


Can you manage multiple Facebook accounts?

Before August 2018, you could use third-party tools to manage multiple Facebook accounts (personal profiles) on a single dashboard and schedule your posts simultaneously.

However, on August 1st, 2018, Facebook made it impossible for third-party tools to publish directly to profiles on Facebook.

But, if you want to manage multiple Facebook accounts for pages and groups, it is possible with the ultimate social media management tool, Circleboom Publish!


How to post to multiple Facebook Pages?

Anyone with a Facebook account may now manage as many pages as they want since 2019. As a result, if you're a digital marketer or a social media expert in charge of numerous companies, things may quickly spiral out of control.

Fortunately, there are two excellent solutions to manage multiple Facebook pages.
