Need a little help with the about section. (5 posts)

Topic tags: about section, Facebook, page
  • Hey everybody,

    On one of the pages I just started to manage, the about section shows address and contact details instead of the write up. I tried figuring out why but as you can see that wasn’t successful.

    Any help possible? http://www.facebook.com/PanoramaHillsVizag

  • @janani-eswar Was the page originally a “place” and not a formal business page? I encountered that with pages I claimed that were created as “Place Pages.” I was not able to find a way to change the display option on that page. @Andrea-Vahl do you know any other instances when this may occur?

  • @alexandrabriggs I don’t think so. Don’t know for sure though. That’ll be something to remember though! 

    Would there be any other ways were that happens? It really looks and feels bad! I’m trying to get the page to look a little more human, and that doesn’t help.

  • Yes, @janani-eswar the way this happens is that you have this categorized as a Local Business.  If you want a regular About section, then switch the category to Company or Brand.   (Go to Edit Page, Update Info and switch the category)

    You don’t need to be categorized as a Local Business (even if your business happens to be local) unless you really want people to Check in and you have a store-front.  Hope that helps!

  • @andrea-vahl Awesome. Thanks!
