After showing you the two methods of how you can find your Facebook Ad Account ID, we just want to kill any kind of confusion regarding Facebook Ad Account ID, so first let’s define Facebook Ad Account ID and differentiate it from Facebook Business ID and Facebook Page ID.
What is the Facebook Ad Account ID?
The Facebook Ad Account ID is a unique identifier of a Facebook Ad Account.
The Facebook Ad Account is the Facebook Business asset that enables you to run Facebook ad campaigns, create Custom Audiences, use Facebook Analytics, get more complex reporting on your FB advertising performance and many many more.
Facebook Ad Account ID vs FB Page and Business Manager ID
You have to have a Facebook Business page from where you can run FB advertising campaigns. And not necessarily, but it is recommended to also have a Facebook Business Manager where you can host multiple Facebook Pages and Facebook Ad Accounts.
So it is also important to add that you can have many Facebook Ad Accounts at once, you can create up to 25 Facebook Ad Accounts and you can have access to basically a limitless number of Ad Accounts. So even if you find your Facebook Ad Account ID, make sure it is the right Ad Account you wanted to find the ID of.
Both your Facebook Business page and your Facebook Business Manager have unique IDs that are different from Facebook Ad Account IDs.
