A Page may exist for your business even if someone from your business didn’t create it. For example, when someone checks into a place that doesn't have a Page, an unmanaged Page is created to represent the location.
If the Page is unmanaged, you'll see Unofficial Page below its cover photo. You can request to claim the Page and become its admin, and you can merge the Page into a Page you already manage for your business.
Keep in mind that Pages that represent geographic locations (ex: New York City, Ontario, Switzerland) can't be claimed.
To claim or merge an unmanaged Page:
- Click Is this your business? below the Page's cover photo
- Follow the on-screen instructions
Keep in mind that you may be asked for information to verify your relationship with the business, such as business phone number, business email or documents.
Can I merge two Facebook Pages?
If you have 2 Facebook Pages for the same thing, you may be able to merge them if:
- You're an admin of both Pages
- Your Pages have similar names and represent the same thing
- Your Pages have the same address, if they have physical locations
To merge your Pages:
- Go to facebook.com/pages/merge
- Select 2 Pages you want to merge and click Continue
- Click Request Merge
If you're unable to merge your Pages, it means that your Pages aren't eligible to be merged. If you see the option to request to merge your Pages, we'll review your request.
If your Pages can be merged, the people who like your Pages and any check-ins will be combined, but posts, photos, reviews, ratings and the username will be deleted from the Page you merge. 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.
