A Meta ad agency account provides advertising professionals with enhanced capabilities, better support, and more stable infrastructure for managing client campaigns. For agencies serious about scaling Meta advertising, understanding what these accounts offer and how to access them is essential.
This guide covers the benefits of agency accounts, your options for accessing them, the requirements involved, and how to get started.
Meta agency accounts offer significant advantages over standard Business Manager setups:
Enhanced Stability Agency accounts typically experience fewer restrictions and account issues. When campaigns are high-spend or time-sensitive, agency-grade infrastructure provides better operational resilience, including robust billing workflows and cleaner asset governance.
Higher Spending Limits Standard ad accounts start with low daily spending caps that increase gradually. Agency accounts often come with higher limits from the start, enabling faster campaign scaling without waiting for limit increases.
Dedicated Support Agency partners receive priority access to Meta support teams. When issues arise—account restrictions, policy questions, or technical problems—agencies can resolve them faster than standard advertisers.
Beta Feature Access Meta frequently tests new features with agency partners before broader rollout. This includes new ad formats, targeting options, and optimization tools.
Cross-Client Management Agency accounts provide streamlined infrastructure for managing multiple client ad accounts. This includes better organizational tools, consolidated billing options, and clearer asset separation.
Meta's Advantage+ automation tools now default for new campaigns in Ads Manager, automating placements, creatives, and budgets. Agency accounts often get earlier access to these AI-powered features:
