Change profile pictures

Make sure that each page has its own profile picture so you can identify them easily during the merging process. Also, take a note of each one.

Check out the Facebook page information.

Make sure that the address you have added to your business pages is identical on all of them.

You can do the same with your phone number, website links and About sections.

You should make sure that the names of the two Facebook pages you wish to merge are as similar as possible. In some cases, you might need to request a change in the name of one or more pages.

You can try incremental changes to your name if it is rejected.

You can request access to pages if you do not have the right to do so.

Tell your Facebook followers

Let both Pages’ audiences know that you are merging Pages. A photo could be created and posted to your Pages. This image can be pinned to both Pages to give current followers a chance of seeing it.

Consider running a Facebook Ad or Sponsored Story if you have a large following on both Pages. Notify your email list, and any other online followers.

Choose which Facebook page you want to keep.

You can choose which page you wish to keep. All content on a page that you merge will be lost. You can download any images or other information that you wish to keep.

All content will be retained on the Page you choose to keep. The pages that you merge will combine all the Followers and Check ins. Remember that people may have liked both Pages. This will result in no new likes.
