With the rise of consumer interest in social responsibility and your company’s politics, it may be difficult to balance political transparency with your brand and community. Be sure to take these conversations out of the public eye so as not to alienate customers.Ī proactive measure you can take is to steer clear of political statements in your content that may invite others to share their views, unless those political statements are directly relevant to your company, mission, values, products, or services. Neutral points regarding how new legislation or elections will affect your industry are acceptable, irate babbling about specific politicians or parties is not. I recommend keeping your current page active until you get the new one set up and running the way you want it.Discussions of politics have their place, but (in most cases) that place is not your business’s Facebook or LinkedIn page. Facebook does allow you to “merge” pages - do a search from their Help desk to learn more about how that works. If you’re planning to give the page you create the name of your B&B and your current page already uses that name, Facebook will not allow you to use that same web address (which they also call “username”). You may run into another issue - the custom page address. You don’t have to use the personal profile just use it to log in and then create a new Page from within that account. I believe Facebook requires you to have a personal account (for login purposes) in order to create a page, so you might consider creating a new account with a DIFFERENT email and username than your current one. I agree that you could easily get “stuck” since you converted your personal profile to a page. If anyone knows how long Facebook holds on to the usernames of deleted pages, please share that info. People who’ve deleted pages have told me they’ve tried to use the same username (web address) and have been unable to. I have not received a reliable answer to this question. “If I delete my page, will Facebook release my username (page URL/address) so I can re-use the same name on another page I create?” If you are certain you want to remove your page and begin the 14 day grace period, click the link that says “Delete ” and then click “Save Changes.” Can I re-use my custom Facebook page address?

(Unsure whether that means 14 calendar days or 14 business days.)Īfter the 14-day grace period, you’ll be asked to confirm that you want to permanently delete your page. Note: You MUST be a Page administrator in order to delete a Page.įrom the “General” settings (the first one on the list), scroll to the bottom of the list of options and locate “Remove Page.” Click the pencil icon to edit.Ī pop-up notice will inform you that if you delete your page, you have a grace period of 14 days in which you can restore it. Log in to the Facebook page you administer.

How to unpublish your page without deleting it It’s much easier than attempting to do it via a tablet or smartphone. I advise using a desktop/laptop computer to delete your Facebook page. If you’re in that camp or you don’t use your business page any longer, you may want to delete it.
