If you have a company you should know how to manage well It is not the first case we have seen of entities that have a personal profile instead of a fan page, or with both (personal profile and fan page). Even with two different fan pages. Why have two Facebook pages about the same thing? Perhaps it is better that you concentrate all the content, visits and likes in one, to be able to manage it in an optimal and more productive way for your business.
Fortunately, Facebook allows us to make two pages dedicated to the same To do this, yes, you must be the administrator of both, both fan pages must have similar names and represent the same entity, and have the same address. The following is a matter of a few steps that we explain below.
Merge two Facebook pages
Lets start by the beginning. What happens if we merge two Facebook pages? The first that Likes and Views will be combined (added together) on one page. Also:
- The page being merged will be removed, so your photos, posts… will also be deleted. Before merging the page, these contents can be downloaded and saved from the Facebook settings. But they won’t appear on the merged page.
- The page that is preserved is not modifiedexcept for Likes and Views, which will be added.
- The process may take a few days to complete, and once it is started there is no going back.
So, let’s see how to act according to the different cases in which we find ourselves when merging two fan pages. These are the possible scenarios.
Two Facebook pages with the same name
You have two Facebook pages with the same name, or with very similar names (it is, as we said, one of the requirements that the social platform asks us to be able to merge) and referring to the same thing. How to turn them into one? Very easy. You should:
- Access this site: .
- Select the two pages you want to merge and click Continue.
- Select the page you want to keep.
- Request Fusion.
Two Facebook pages with different names
In this case, the first step will be rename one of the pages, so that both have the same or very similar. In the event that it is a local business with different addresses, we should also change these, so that the same one appears on both fan pages. Once this is done, Facebook would allow us to merge them, following exactly the same steps that we have described in the previous section.
But how to change the name of one of the pages? By accessing the Information tab that appears on the left of our page. In this section we can change the name and also the address or other data of our business.
Have a personal profile and a fan page
Another common (and wrong) practice is to have a personal profile and a Facebook page for the same business. In order to merge first we must migrate the personal profile to fan page. Steps to follow?
- Access the section of
- Hit the Start button and configure our new page.
- It is interesting that after the migration, when configuring the page, you select your friends to become fans automatically. A useful way not to lose your contact base.
Now that we have the profile converted into a page, we can resort to merging the two pages (the one we already had and the one we created through profile migration) following the steps above, depending on the case (check if they have names similar, different…).
As you can see, in any case the process is easy and fast, and will allow you to manage your activity on the social network much better (and with better results). You dare?
