How do you delete a facebook business page

Facebook is considered by many businesses as a key part of their marketing strategy, whether they're using it for organic or paid-for reach. Although previously reserved for mostly consumer-focused businesses, many B2B businesses are also starting to see its merits as a way to get their message across to potential customers.

Although Facebook has started to put a bigger focus on personal, rather than business connections, it shouldn’t be avoided as there are still lots of ways it can be used to attract the attention of ideal clients, even if its impact or engagement levels aren't as pronounced as the likes of Instagram or Twitter.

But if you've already got a Facebook business page and feel that after the big data controversy it's not appropriate for your organisation to be active on Facebook anymore, you may want to think about deleting your page and instead focus your efforts on other marketing tools to help your business get heard.
Here's how to delete your Facebook business page on iOS, Android and desktop.

Why you may want to delete a Facebook business page

Before businesses got savvy about the positive impact a Facebook business page could have on your organisation's marketing strategies, you may have experienced employees within your organisation setting up Facebook pages on a casual - rather than formal - basis.
This means you may have multiple pages promoting your organisation or content posted to those pages is off-brand. in other cases, the administrator who set up the page may have left and if you don't have the password, it could prove pretty difficult to transfer ownership.
Alternatively, your company may have been acquired by another and so one of the brands no longer exists, making deleting its Facebook business page a necessity.
Whatever your reason for deleting the page, you might want to consider merging pages - if there are multiple - before you completely delete it.
What's important to understand is that if you do decide to delete a Facebook page, you will lose all the content forever, as well as anyone's page likes, comments and interactions. Only follow these steps if you're certain you no longer want the page to exist.

How to delete a Facebook business page on iOS or Android

From the Facebook app, head to your list of pages and select the one you wish to delete. Tap edit page for options and then select settings. Scroll down to find the 'Remove page' section and tap the option to permanently delete the page. You'll see a warning, but click to continue if you're 100% sure you want to remove it and your page will be gone.
You do have 14 days to reverse the deletion, so if you change your mind, you can restore it.

How to delete a Facebook page from your browser

The process if you’re using your browser to manage your Facebook page is equally as simple. Just head to the page you’d like to delete, head to the settings option under 'Edit page' and scroll to the bottom to 'Remove page'. Hit delete and hey presto! Your page will be removed. As is the case on mobile, you can restore your page within 14 days of deleting it, but after that, it will be gone forever.

How to delete a Facebook page if you're not an admin

Obviously, both of the options above assume you're an administrator on the page, but what happens if you're not and it was set up by an ex-employee?
This is a little trickier and is a more involved process than simply deleting the page as an admin. First, you will have to report the page to Facebook for a breach of your intellectual property. To do this, go to the page you want to delete, click the three dots below the page’s cover photo and select Report page. You can explain why you want the page to be removed and it will be up to Facebook whether it removes the page or not.
