How to request a merge of duplicate Facebook Pages
By HeyMark · Updated
If you manage two Facebook Pages for the same entity, you can check whether Meta lets you merge them and submit a request if the option is available. Before you start, review the requirements and what will disappear: the source Page is deleted, and the merge can’t be undone.
Check the requirements and choose which Page to keep
Meta requires Facebook access to both Pages; task access isn’t enough. They must have the same name, represent the same entity, and belong to the same Business Manager. If they are businesses with physical locations, they must show the same address. The source Page can’t be the primary Page of a Business Manager account. Global Pages aren’t eligible, and you can’t merge a verified Page into one that isn’t verified. Choose which Page to keep: it will be the destination Page. The other is the source Page that will be merged into it. Check Meta’s merge requirements.
Before you request the merge, review campaigns that direct people to the source Page and change their destination if needed. Don’t expect campaigns or ads to transfer to the Page you keep.
Review what you’ll lose before requesting a merge
The source Page is deleted, and you can’t recover its content or undo the merge. Its posts, photos, reviews, ratings, and username are lost. Meta combines followers and check-ins, and groups migrate.
Save any posts, photos, or details from the source Page that you want to keep outside Facebook. Continue only if you chose as the destination the Page whose identity and content you want to retain.
Submit the request on Facebook
Go to one of the profiles that manages the Pages and switch to the Page you want to keep. Follow this path:
- Open Settings & privacy → Settings.
- Go to Page setup → Merge Pages and select View.
- Choose Merge multiple Pages and select Start request.
- Select the source Page and confirm the request if Meta shows both Pages and the merge option.
Before confirming, make sure the destination Page is the one you want to keep and the source Page is the one you’re willing to delete. If Meta doesn’t show the option, its Help Center says the Pages aren’t eligible for this flow. Without that option, you cannot submit the request through this flow.
After submitting, check the result from the destination Page. Don’t assume the source Page’s posts, photos, reviews, ratings, or username moved over; those items are lost in a merge.
