Merging Facebook Pages can be a useful way to consolidate duplicate or similar pages. However, there are some criteria and conditions that must be met for pages to be eligible for merging:

1. Pages Must Represent the Same Thing: The pages you want to merge must represent the same entity, business, or brand. For example, if you have two pages for your small business, both should represent that business.
2. Have Similar Names: The pages should have similar names, but not necessarily identical. Facebook will consider the names similar if they represent the same thing.
3. Have the Same Address: If your pages have physical addresses, they should match. This is particularly important for local businesses.
4. Have the Same Category: Both pages should be categorized under the same type. For instance, both should be categorized as “Local Businesses” or “Public Figures.”
5. Have Admin or Editor Access: You should have admin or editor access to both pages you want to merge.
6. No Recent Merge Requests: There should not be a recent merge request for either of the pages.

If your pages meet these criteria, you can request to merge them by following these steps:

1. Log in to Facebook: Log in to your Facebook account that has admin or editor access to the pages you want to merge.
2. Visit Facebook’s Page Merge Tool: Go to the Facebook Page Merge tool by visiting this link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/merge/
3. Select the Pages to Merge: You will see a dropdown menu that allows you to select the two pages you want to merge. Choose the two pages that meet the merging criteria.
4. Verify the Pages: After selecting the pages, click “Continue.” Facebook will verify that your pages meet the requirements.
5. Choose the Page to Keep: You will be prompted to choose which page you want to keep as the primary page after the merge. The other page will be unpublished. Make your selection and click “Continue.”
6. Submit the Merge Request: Review the information and click “Request Merge.”
7. Wait for Review: Facebook will review your merge request. This process may take some time, and Facebook may contact you for further information if needed.
8. Confirmation: Once Facebook approves the merge, you’ll receive a notification confirming the merge.

Keep in mind that merged pages will combine their likes, check-ins, and reviews. All posts, photos, and other content from the merged page will be deleted, and the page itself will be unpublished. So, make sure to back up any content you want to keep before proceeding.
