Personal Page to Business Page Conversion (2 posts)

Topic tags: page conversion
  • Hi guys,

    Quick question; I have followed the FB instructions to convert a personal page to a business page, but would just like to ask a couple of questions. The personal page had another page linked to it originally.  When I now log in under the personal pages original email addy, I have an option to use FB as either of the pages, there is now a like button on the converted one etc, but I do not get the option to ‘use FB as’ like you do when you have a business page attached to a personal page. I am slightly concerned that the converted page will appear as a business page only, with no personal page attached and I have been told this breaks FB rules? I am admin for the page anyway, and through my account I have the ‘use as’ option, but are we at risk of being taken down as there is no link to a personal page through the original email address?  If yes, how to we rectify? I hope this makes sense. We also appear to be missing a search bar at the top of the converted page? Did we do something wrong? :/

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • @mandybcollins  It doesn’t break the rules to have a “Business only” Page but you will probably want to attached some Personal profile to it as an admin because other wise you will be limited.  You won’t be able to use the Search (as you have found) or you won’t be able to Like other Pages as your Page or to comment on other Pages as your Page or have a “home” feed for your Page.  All you need to do is to add a Personal profile as an admin and you will get that functionality back.

    Hope that helps and makes sense!
