Connect Facebook Business Account to GoHighLevel Ad Manager

Connecting your Facebook Business account to GoHighLevel Ad Manager lets you manage campaigns more efficiently, even if your team also uses ClickUp or other project tools. This step-by-step guide walks you through every requirement and setting you need inside Facebook Business Manager and GoHighLevel so your ad accounts sync correctly.

What You Need Before Connecting to GoHighLevel

Before you link Facebook to GoHighLevel, make sure you have the correct access and configuration inside Facebook Business Manager.

  • You must be a Facebook Business Manager admin.
  • Your Facebook profile must own or have full admin access to the Business Manager you want to connect.
  • The ad account you want to use must be:
    • Added to the Business Manager.
    • Assigned to you with Admin or at least Advertiser access.
  • Pop‑up blockers in your browser should be disabled during the connection process.

If any of these items are missing, the ad account may not appear in GoHighLevel, or the connection can fail.

Step 1: Verify Access in Facebook Business Manager for GoHighLevel

First, confirm that your Facebook Business configuration is correct so GoHighLevel can read your assets.

  1. Open Facebook Business Manager and log in with the profile you will use in GoHighLevel.

  2. Go to Business Settings.

  3. Under Accounts > Ad accounts, check that the ad account you want to use is listed.

  4. Click the ad account and make sure your user has at least Manage campaigns or Admin permissions.

  5. If the ad account is not there, add it to your Business Manager or request access from the owner.

Only ad accounts properly connected to your Business Manager with the right permissions can sync to GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Connect Facebook Profile Inside GoHighLevel

Next, authorize GoHighLevel to access your Facebook assets through your personal Facebook profile.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel workspace.

  2. Navigate to the Settings section (usually found on the left sidebar).

  3. Select the option related to Integrations or Connections for Facebook.

  4. Click Connect or Sign in with Facebook.

  5. A Facebook pop‑up window will appear. Choose the correct Facebook profile that has admin access to the Business Manager and ad account.

  6. Grant all requested permissions so GoHighLevel can read your pages, ad accounts, and business settings.

Allowing full permissions ensures that GoHighLevel can load all available ad accounts and pages from your Business Manager.

Step 3: Select Facebook Business and Ad Account in GoHighLevel

Once your profile is connected, you need to pick which Business Manager and ad account GoHighLevel should use.

  1. In GoHighLevel, return to the Facebook integration or Ad Manager settings screen.

  2. From the Business dropdown, choose the correct Facebook Business Manager.

  3. From the Ad Account dropdown, select the ad account you verified in Facebook Business Manager.

  4. Click Save or Update to confirm the selection.

If the business or ad account does not appear, double‑check that your Facebook profile is an admin of that Business Manager and that the ad account is correctly assigned to you.

Troubleshooting: Ad Account Not Showing in GoHighLevel

If your Facebook ad account still does not appear in GoHighLevel, work through these checks.

Confirm Business Manager Admin Rights for GoHighLevel

  • Open Facebook Business Manager and verify that your profile is listed as an Admin in Business Settings > Users > People.
  • If you are only an employee with limited permissions, ask an existing admin to upgrade your status.
  • After the change, log out and back in to both Facebook and GoHighLevel.

Check Ad Account Assignment and Status

  • In Business Settings > Accounts > Ad accounts, confirm that:
    • The ad account is Active and not disabled or closed.
    • Your user has Manage campaigns or Admin toggled on.
  • If the ad account belongs to another Business Manager, request access or have the owner add the account to your Business Manager.

Reauthorize Facebook Permissions for GoHighLevel

  1. In Facebook, go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Business Integrations (or similar section).

  2. Find the integration related to GoHighLevel.

  3. Remove the integration to clear old permissions.

  4. Return to GoHighLevel and reconnect Facebook as described earlier, making sure all requested permissions are granted.

Reauthorizing often resolves missing ad account issues when permissions were previously declined or changed.

Best Practices When Using Facebook Ads in GoHighLevel

To keep your campaigns stable and compliant, follow these best practices once your Facebook Business is connected to GoHighLevel Ad Manager.

  • Keep one primary Facebook profile connected to your GoHighLevel workspace to avoid asset conflicts.
  • Do not remove yourself as admin from the Business Manager that GoHighLevel uses, or the integration may break.
  • Regularly review permissions when team members change roles inside Business Manager.
  • Monitor ad account status in Facebook Ads Manager for any policy or billing issues that could affect data inside GoHighLevel.
