More Changes to Facebook for Businesses

Recently, Facebook made some additional changes to the way that Places interacts with Business Pages.

Places is Facebook's checkin system. Using your mobile smart phone, you can open Places within the Facebook app and announce that you're at a particular location. For businesses, that meant that a new "Local Business" page was created for you, even if you already had an official Facebook page. The checkins were nice, but the public link to your "page" wasn't quite as beneficial.

Now, if you go to the Local Business version of your page, you will have an option to Merge that page with your official business page, and reduce the duplicitiy.
