Facebook Now Encouraging Page Owners To Claim A Place

Facebook has begun encouraging page administrators to claim a place when there is a Place with a similar name.

While many administrators rushed to claim a place early on, there is now a number of administrators that want to revert back from merging their Page and Place. The primary reason is that it changes the format and some have even mentioned that they’ve had issues with the publisher. Regardless of the complaints, Facebook is still actively pushing the service out to businesses as they hope to get them actively engaging with Facebook’s increasingly popular location service.
