Reverse Your Facebook Personal Profile To Business Page Conversion

by Terry Crosby on April 6, 2011

Do you regret converting your Facebook Personal Profile to a Business Page?

If you answered yes than you will be happy to hear you may be able to reverse that conversion by filing a  Profile to Business Page Migration Appeal with Facebook.

The appeal process is simple. . .

  • Start by clicking here
  • provide your user name and
  • the URL of the Business Page created
  • click “submit”

Facebook clarifies on the appeal form the following

“Profile to business Page migrations are meant for profiles that do not represent a person. If you have accidentally migrated your profile to a Page, you can submit your request for a reversal. Please keep in mind that we will remove your business Page if your profile is restored. We may reject any appeals that we deem to be inappropriate. Further, we may not reply to all submitted appeals.”

After you submit your appeal you will see the following message from Facebook:

“Thanks for contacting Facebook. You should receive an email response shortly. Note that you may need to respond to this email before we can assist you further.”

I submitted an appeal a few hours ago and haven’t received Facebook’s response email so I don’t know how long the process will take. I will keep you updated and would love to hear about your progress.

    I wonder if it will reinstate your profile exactly as it was before the conversion (wall posts, photos, profile info, etc).

    Have you heard back or gotten it fixed? It’s a complete mess that we aren’t able to connect, interact, etc. with others. At this point, I’d pay Facebook to help me!

    No. Facebook has not responded to my appeal. Thank goodness it was a test account. I am so sorry it was your account. Unfortunately, getting in touch with someone from Facebook is almost impossible. Let me ask around to see if others have had success with their appeal process.

    How about now? Has there been any movement? I’m curious if you received a response. I’m also curious if the content was expunged as happens when they convert profile->page.

     What happens if you have 2 facebook pages and you want to convert only 1 back to a personal profile?

  • Dlim

    Wow, what a disaster.  I used my personal profile to connect with viewers (I work as a TV news anchor) and had photos and contacts and videos…all lost! FB was not clear at ALL in explaining what the migration truly meant.  Please Facebook, bring my old profile back!

    Terry, did they ever reverse it back for you?

  • Kayla

    Were you ever able to convert back to personal? This just happened to the company I work for, it’s been 2 weeks and I haven’t heard a thing from FB after the appeal.
