The short answer
Meta Business Suite is Meta's free tool for running a Facebook page and an Instagram account in one place, on desktop and in a phone app: an inbox gathering Messenger, Instagram messages and comments, planning and scheduling posts and stories, insights, ads, and simple automated replies such as instant replies, away messages and FAQs. It is enough for a small business; replying intelligently from your products, WhatsApp Business with a team, order confirmation and measuring orders per ad need tools on top of it.
