Merge Facebook Pages
Facebook offers a seamless approach to merge two Facebook pages but both pages must satisfy the following.
- Both Facebook pages represent the same thing and they both have the same name. Facebook page (a) and Facebook page (b) have the same name and you have been publishing similar content since they were created. If both pages have different names you can request a change of name and then proceed with the merge otherwise your request to merge your pages will be rejected.

- Both pages must be created under the same Facebook Business Manager.
- The page you want to merge from must be the primary.
- Both Facebook pages cannot be global otherwise you won’t be able to merge them.
- You cannot merge a Facebook page that is verified to another Facebook page that isn’t verified.
