Basically, I have a small company selling a few products. The main one is called Durabak and I have a website called Durabakdepot.com. I have now just decided to finally get onto Facebook with it. When I created the page(s) it seems like somehow I made a page personal page and a business page. As a side point now, I don't know if I need or should have a fan page or business page or what the difference is in my case? Anyway, getting back to my original question, I really don't need a personal Durabak Depot Facebook page. Under my name, Jacob xxxx, I do not have a facebook account/page (I think there is another person by the same name that has one). Do you think it would be smart of me to merge the personal page to the business page? Now, with regards to doing that, if I merge the personal to business currently the personal has the address that I would want to link to such as https://www.facebook.com/durabak.depot whereas the business page has https://www.facebook.com/pages /Durabak -Depot/647536001963329. Which URL would then be the address to my facebook page? Obviously I would prefer the first one. So, I know I messed up by creating the personal page when I should have made only a business page but I am trying to fix things now. Please look at both of my pages. Both are listed as Durabak Depot, one has my company logo as the profile picture (red dripping paint can saying Durabak Depot across it) and one has a picture of colored sample chips/tiles as the profile pics. [go to 'find all pages with Durabak to find both if necessary] I would like to bring the 'friends' over, keep the name Durabak Depot, and link to the shorter URL as opposed to the longer one in case I put the Facebook page on future business cards. Am I able to do this and would you be so kind as to help me with this? Thank you so much. Jacob
It is against the FB rules to create a personal page for a business. Rename the personal page so it can be yours and use it to admin the fan-page (I understand you don't have a personal FB page, so use the one you created). You can change the URL of the business page - just access the settings of it, it's easy to find. Then, you will be able to invite your friends (the people in the friends list of your personal profile) to like the page. So, forget about advertising on your personal profile, use the business page for it.
