First in Facebook’s history, personal user profiles are now allowed to be converted into official business Pages. This means that Personal User files of Facebook members could now be changed into Official business pages, making all their friends into fans.
Using the “Profile To Business Page Migration” tool will help facilitate Facebook users who either before Pages existed, made a personal profile for a business, or accidentally started accumulating fans as friends instead of Likes to turn these friends to fans of one’s own business page.
This relocation tool should greatly help and assist confused business owners burdened with the decision of whether to continue a profile mean for individuals with its limited capabilities, or create a new a Page from scratch with zero fans.
Though this relocation tool has not been formally announced by Facebook, this tool appears to be available worldwide.
A new Help Center article on converting profiles to Pages has been added by Facebook in order to provide details about the relocation process. This relocation tool can be use by any user with a verified account.
Once the users utilize or use this relocation tool, the user can still use the same login and password detail to gain access to their new Facebook business page. The same profile photo will still be used and all their friends will be converted into fans or users who like their Page.
All additional photos, Like connections to other Pages and all other profile content will be removed. So users who want to use this relocation tool should think first about using Facebook’s Download Your Information tool to back up their old user profile content.
However, during the relocation process, users with less than 100 friends can rename their new Page so providing them a chance at rebranding. But users with more than 100 friends are not given a chance to rename themselves but they must use their profile name.
Restricting the possibility for the tool to be used for bait-and-switch, converted Pages are not shown in the interests’ section area of users who were formerly friends with the profile and were transferred. Also, users are sent with message notifying them that one of their friendships has been converted to a Like.
