Hey everyone,

I am trying to convert friends of an old business user account (2,800) to the existing business fan page which currently has over 2,000 fans. I know there are ways to convert friends to a new business page but is there any way to convert them to a page that already exists? If so how do I go about doing that. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

p.s. I have downloaded the account information files.

@mattcal Agree with  @andrea-vahl.First, covert account into page and then merge the page with existing page. Basic information like page name, address etc. should be same for both pages to get them merged. Also, the page with fewer likes will be merged into page with higher likes so the page having more likes will survive and the page with fewer likes will be merged into former one.

Sorry, @mattcal I missed the follow up question!  I would suggest having another personal profile Like the Page and then adding that person as an Admin by looking at the New Likes and clicking Make Admin next to their name.  You’ll probably have to create a new personal profile if you want a new personal profile to be the admin and you’ll have to use a new e-mail address. The really tricky thing is that you may need a new cell number to create a new personal profile.  That’s been a recent requirement of Facebook.  It’s creating havoc for people doing this type of thing who don’t have 2 different cell numbers (they won’t even accept a Google Voice number – I’ve tried that)

Good luck!

@andrea-vahl Thanks for the help! I think it was glitch with the admin, I was able to add another admin after a few days and added them by their email because their name wouldn’t work. Couldn’t have got it done without ya, thanks again!
