There's no option to link multiple Facebook business pages to a single SmartReply account, so you'll need a separate account for each page you manage.

To create a new SmartReply account and connect another Facebook page, click on the page avatar in the lower-left corner, select Accounts -> Create new account, and then follow the same steps as for the other page.
