How To Merge Duplicate Facebook Pages

It happens to so many businesses: once upon a time someone sets up a Facebook Page. The Page gets forgotten about, and now that you’re ready to start again, there’s a problem.

.

Well fortunately, Facebook allows you to merge duplicate Pages so you don’t lose Fans or company-specific details, like the Facebook URL. Merging Pages combines all of your likes and check-ins from multiple accounts into one Page.

.

Merging combines the people who like your Pages and any check-ins, but posts, photos, reviews, ratings and the username will be deleted from the Page you merge.

.

Consider this carefully before you proceed as it cannot be undone.

.

The Page you want to keep will remain unchanged, except for the addition of people who like the Page and check-ins that were merged from the other Page.

.

The Page you don’t want to keep will be removed from Facebook, and you won’t be able to unmerge it.
