Like most entrepreneurs new to Facebook advertising, you are probably puzzled over the difference between Business Manager, Power Editor, and Ads Manager. You’ve heard this term mentioned by digital ad agencies, lectures, and webinars, yet, you don’t quite know their differences, locations, and significance.

Businesses use Business Manager to manage their fan and business page and ad accounts. If you want to create ad campaigns, go Business Manager. There, you can add agencies to help you manage your accounts, send invoices, and view conversions and ad performance. Simply put, Business Manager helps you manage ad campaigns.

In Business Manager, you can create ads using two tools: Ads Manager and Power Editor. Although both are similar, Power Editor offers more in depth features. You can think of Power Editor as an evolved version of Ads Manager with better and more complex capabilities. Marketers prefer using Power Editor because it offers more features. For example, while Ads Manager only has 10 objectives (or the marketing goal you choose when creating an ad), Power Editor has 14.

Be aware that Power Editor has a more complex layout than Ads Manager. Thus, if you are new to creating ads, it is best that you experiment using Ads Manager and leave Power Editor to the experts.
