  • Cross-platform advertising: Ads, stories, and posts can be advertised on the two platforms.
  • Consistency in company profiles: if you change the Facebook page, the changes will be automatically applied to the Instagram page as well, and vice versa.
  • Instagram shop: to add a shop to your Instagram profile, you need to connect a Facebook page.
  • Message management: you have a single mailbox that groups both Facebook Messenger and Instagram messages; to activate it just access the Facebook page and click on the left side tab in “Mail”, here there will be all messages divided according to the social network.
  • Use of all functions: the two platforms are similar but offer different functions, and positioning on both means exploiting them all (for example, Facebook integrates a section dedicated to reviews, while Instagram allows you to create custom filters).

In addition to the many “technical” advantages, there is another excellent reason why you want to link a Facebook page to your company’s Instagram profile: brands that are present on multiple platforms are more reliable in the eyes of potential customers. More, always have up-to-date profile information and maintain regular posting and stories (thanks to the simultaneous publication between the two platforms) signals to users that the brand is active and fully operational.
