Facebook serves as a great platform to share your ideas and thoughts. It helps you to connect with your friends and families as well as allows you to make personal connections. Many people create a Facebook business page in order to promote their business. Sometimes their customers and fans create multiple Facebook pages which distract the attention from the main page. This also creates confusion for your online audience. The solution to this problem is to merge Facebook business pages.
Some of the criteria for consolidating facebook pages are given below.
- Before you merge facebook business pages, make sure that you have the manager access to all the pages. The content for all the pages must be same, for example, the pages must have identical names.
- Before you link two facebook pages, do not forget to claim it. For this. you need to do a proper documentation about your business.
- If you have too many pages, keep the one with the most likes and merge all other pages into it.
- After the pages are merged into the main page, the content of the old pages is lost. In that case, you can download, save or move the older content over to the main page.
