Facebook Giving Admins the Ability to Unmerge Their Fan & Places Page
December 25th, 2010 by Laura AlisanneTo Merge or not to Merge on Facebook
December 2nd, 2010 by Laura AlisanneAbout 45 days ago, Facebook began offering Business page owners the option to also “claim” their Places Page (this uses address data pulled from and integrated with Bing Maps).
If you either come across your Places Page, or are asked by Facebook: “Is this your Business?” You will be asked if you’d like to Claim it. You may proceed to claim the Places Page, however, after the verification process is complete, you will receive a dialog box saying “You have successfully claimed this Place.” If you are given the option to “Merge” or “Continue without merging” we recommend that you choose the later because if you chose the “Merge” option you will lose your Business Page as you now know it, including the ability to set a custom landing page as the default for new fans. According to Facebook, a merge cannot be reversed. Here is a step-by-step visual guide to claiming your Places Page.
