Facebook Page and Place Merging

[Mike Henderson]

Has anyone merged their Facebook Page with their Place page yet? 

I'm interested in what design controls you have. Are you able to move the map to a different area?

Can anyone point out a Place page that has merged, doesn't have to be higher ed.

(thanks @radiofreegeorgy)

I put in a request to merge our place and page, but haven't heard back yet.

[Mike Henderson]

Thanks Ann, keep us updated.

[Ann White]

Ours finally merged! I like it.

Awh, I just realized I can't see post by post stats on impressions anymore.

I'm with Ann. I also put in a request a while back... still haven't heard.

I've received multiple emails asking for the "proper documentation" to claim a place, but as far as I know that doesn't exist for a University. Does anyone have any tips for this? It's all very frustrating

Thanks!!

I am dealing with the proper documentation issue as well. Anyone heard anything new?

I was successfully granted administrative rights last week. All it took was about 3 emails in 5 days, asking what sort of paperwork they needed from me. I think they just got tired of getting messages and just caved in. Can't say for certain if that will work for everyone, though.

I'm now working on merging the two pages. I'm sure that process will go slower than I hope, too.

We just received admin rights to ours as well. I provided our state tax exemption form which of course list our state institution information and status. I was prepared to email scans of my biz card, university ID and my university purchase card with then numbers blanked out. I was running out of ideas and options. But apparently the tax exemption did it and the other stuff was not necessary. Good luck to those of you still waiting.

I put in a request to merge our place and page today. As soon as I hear back I will let everyone know!

I put in a request to merge our page and place on the day FB first made it available. Have not heard back yet.

A warning - it looks like with a merged Page/Place, you will no longer be able to set the default landing tab. Found that out this morning via this article, although my page has not yet been merged.
