Hi Shelby, I have been wondering about that myself and found this article:http://just-ask-kim.com/merge-facebook-profile-page/#.UQh_wb-YsrUI kind of knew what was involved for a while, just did not have to do it for a business I represent or a friend. It is a tedious process but the biggest thing is the profile of the account that wants to convert to a Page goes away…that means you will either need to work with a friend and transfer ownership to them when the Page is created, or you’re going to have to setup another FB profile acct to become the admin. Hope that makes sense; but this is a very good article, you should be good if you follow Kim’s advice. Good luck!

@marketennant Thanks for your response! I actually have read that article as well, it just didn’t go into much detail about how to link it to an existing fan page. 

I just had the exact problem last week as well and it seems, you can’t avoid transferring your profile into a page first and only then merge with another page.

I did that now and in fact, I tried to merge the three pages (one original page, one converted profile and one page that was marked as community page by FB) now three times but nothing happens. First I waited for 3 days – since I read on the net that a merge can take up to 48 hours. Then I tried again – waited another 2 days. Now, today, I gave it another try.

Does anyone of you know of another example, where the merge of the pages simply didn’t happen? Am I allowed to still post on one of the pages or should I not work on the pages at all? I would love to hear about your experiences.
