[@liveourbest2067]

My 2 Business Managers and my personnel account are both banned any workaround for this?

[@MrEhcks]

This seems so weird that Facebook would require a personal profile for businesses. Is this what major corporations do? Hypothetically would Coca-Cola have their account made via an employee or managers personal account? What if that person leaves the company? Does Coca-Cola need to reboot their page or struggle to wrest admin control from said person in the event they are no longer with the company? I feel like I'm missing something.

[@mrjerrypotter]

If Coca-Cola had software, yes they would. The main idea is that you don't want people sharing logins. If you had an employee leave mad, and they had the Admin access to the page, they could delete it, kick people off, any number of things. With each person having their own login, you can set up different levels of access. Hopefully an employee would never be given Admin access. And if they left, they would be removed, and their replacement would be added.

​@@mrjerrypotter Hi! Thanks for the video! I've created a Facebook Business account with my company e-mail while I was logged in with my personal account. How can I create a facebook account with my company e-mail and then change the facebook account that is linked to my Business one (i.e, using the facebook account of my company instead of my own one to be linked to the business account)?

[@carlosrinaldis8758]

@@mrjerrypotter so in this example who would "own" the Coca-Cola profile super-admin the CEO? I'm trying to set up a facebook page for my bussines and it seems super weird to me, that an LLC can own a bank account or real state property to its name but not a Facebook page. Do registered business really run Facebook pages like this?

[@missionviejoactivities]

My same question! Everyone is an employee so an "Admin" has the potential to wreak havoc if they wanted too. I don't think major companies have to do that or they have their employees sign a contract. Still doesn't seem to make sense. ESPECIALLY since corps are "persons".

[@simplyselling]

Will the same process work for a Facebook group? I have a KZbin channel and I’m looking for a new way to share my videos and my blog from my website. I’m not interested in a personal profile and have no interest being found on it. I just want the group to be found. Will this work? By the way, great video.🙂

hi, Jerry, so people have to register with their real name, say, legal name on ID cards?

[@AmericanWithTheTruth]

This no longer works. I followed the exact steps and Facebook bots figure it out I was duplicating an account and they put my new account on temporary restrictive hold meaning I cannot comment or do anything on my own account. And worse they don’t tell you why they did it and there is no contact chat or phone number to call to figure out what’s going on.

[@mrjerrypotter]

Why were you creating a duplicate account? Why not just use the profile you already had?

[@tonybp]

Be careful with FB nowadays, they're shutting down accounts like crazy. One friend was the administrator of several FB business accounts and now he can't. For another friend FB keeps asking to upload an ID and she has done it several times with different IDs and FB still won't give her back the account. FB is garbage in my opinion, fortunately I've never had an account.

[@DivineSource444]

Yes exactly! FB has shut down my ad & business ad account just out of the blue yesterday!!! No reasons given, just wham! I am a small business & only use FB ads every so often. I have been doing the same ads for years & suddenly I am banned? WTF? I hate FB now! You can’t reach anyone at FB to rectify the problem either. Now I am scrambling to find a new platform to advertise my small business.

[@tonybp]

@@DivineSource444 Yeah, since I posted this 2 more accounts of people I know have been shut down out of nowhere. META is doing terrible and certainly all this is not going to help them. As far as I'm concerned META and all it's platforms can't die soon enough. Good luck getting your account back.

[@mrjerrypotter]

A Facebook Business Page will never show up in search as well as a nicely done website, but beyond that it just depends on the perception of your ideal customers. Some people don't trust companies without websites, while others don't care either way. Hope that helps!

[@DanWilliamRooney]

ok but can people still FIND OUT who the owner of the page is? as in see the ACCOUNT information, or can the account info be hidden?

[@mrjerrypotter]

They shouldn't be. Under Page Transparency they can see some history of the page (when it was created, name changes, etc.) but you don't have to show who the Admins are.

[@trapnellcreative]

Account legitimacy is a big problem with this method. Often times when the account shows little to no action, FB will flag as spam and take it down. Concerning risk, especially when client's are involved.
