The Meta Business Suite is a free tool that centralizes the management of your Professional Facebook and Instagram pages in one place to help save time. The Meta Business Suite includes a scheduling feature for posts and stories on your Facebook Business page and Instagram Business page that you can utilize with your own crafted content and KCM Content, like recorded RealTalk videos and Social Graphics in story or feed format.
** Due to Meta sharing policies, KCM's direct sharing and automation feature is only available for Instagram Business accounts. If you have switched your Professional Instagram account to a Creator account, the Meta Business Suite is a great scheduling tool. Users who have an Instagram Business account can also take advantage of the tools in the Meta Business Suite, as well.

Managing and reviewing your Instagram Business account and Facebook Business page connection
In order to manage your Facebook Business page and Professional Instagram Business account in the Meta Business Suite, it is required that your Professional Instagram Business account is connected to your Facebook Business page.
1. You will want to access your Instagram app from your mobile device for the easiest setup. You will select your Profile in the lower right corner of the app by selecting your profile photo. Once on your profile, you will select “Edit Profile” within your bio.
