Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I don’t have a Facebook Page for my business or brand?
A: If you don’t have a Facebook Page, you’ll need one to connect your Instagram business/creator profile. Some users create a “ghost” Facebook Page, which is a page (this is just a normal FB page) that isn’t publicly used or promoted, just for connection purposes.
Q: I have multiple Instagram profiles and only one Facebook page. Can I connect all of them to that same Facebook page?
A: No. Meta requires that each Instagram Business or Creator profile must be linked to its own separate Facebook Page in order to connect properly to third-party tools like Vista Social.
