Create a location for your Business Facebook Page

How do I create a new location?

You can only create a new location if one doesn't already exist with a similar name. On a mobile device with location services enabled:

1. Tap   
   
   
2. Select    Nearby
   
   
3. Tap Check In (top-right corner)
   
   
4. Start typing the name of the location you'd like to add
   
   
5. If there are no existing locations with similar names, tap Add "[New Location]"..."
   
   
6. Confirm the name of the the location you want to create and tap Add
   
   

You can then continue to post from that location:

1. Write a caption, tag friends or add a photo
   
   
2. Tap Post
   
   

The default location for any new place you create will be where you are currently located. Also, keep in mind that any location you create is public. This means that other people may see the location while browsing Facebook.

How do I claim a Page that already exists for my business? Can I merge it with my business's official Page?

A Facebook Page may exist for your business even if you or someone else from your business didn't create it. This happens for a variety of reasons. For example, when someone checks into a place that doesn't already have a Page, a new Page gets created to represent the location.

If you're an official representative of an existing Page, you can request to claim it:

1. From the Page, click the  menu.
   
   
2. Select Is this your business?.
   
   
3. Follow the steps that appear on your screen. Add and verify information about your business, like its address and website, and click Continue.
   
   
4. Next, Facebook will ask you to claim your Page to prevent other people from becoming an admin without your permission. Choose to verify your connection to the business by Email or by uploading Documentation:
   
   
• Email: Choose this option if you have an email address associated with your Facebook account that was officially issued to you by your business. Email addresses from generic providers like Yahoo! or Gmail will not be accepted. The email address should correspond to your business's name, ex: jane.doe@acmeproducts.com.
  
  
• Documentation: Upload a scan or photo of an official document that shows your business's name and address. Ex: phone bill, business license, business tax file, articles of incorporation, etc.
  
  
5. Click Submit.
   
   

You're now an admin of the Page and can begin managing it. Please allow up to one week for the Pages team to review your claim request and respond. If your request is accepted, other people won't be able to become an admin of your Page without your permission.

Once you've claimed your Page, you can merge it with duplicate Pages that you may already have set up for your business. People who like the Pages will become associated with the one Page that has the most likes. The Pages must be about the same thing and have similar names to be eligible for merging. Additionally, if the Pages have physical locations, make sure the addresses are the same. Learn more about merging Pages.
