How Do I Find my Facebook Fan Page?
If you are a Facebook addict, then you are well aware of the changes that were made to the main profile page when you log in. Many of these changes were not welcome and actually caused quite an uproar. There has actually been quite a commotion about it all. The other morning, this very topic was covered in the daily CNET newsletter:
“Facebook users haven’t exactly been reticent about their dislike for Facebook’s recent redesign. And Facebook staff want you to know they’re listening.”
Groups have been formed, emails have gone out to tens of thousands – all talking about how much the new changes are disliked.
I, for one, was having one huge issue that I hadn’t been able to find any help on. The almighty google had no answers to the one looming question I had: How do I find my Facebook Fan Page?
Thankfully I installed the short URL app onto my fan page, so finding it was a short order. All I had to do was type in companies.to/panamacitybeach to find it, but there had to be ‘the right’ way to do it.
Well, for those of you that are smarter than I (which many of you are, I’m sure), then this post isn’t for you, but for the rest of you, read on, it’s easy.
When you log in to your main profile page, there is a nifty toolbar stuck to the bottom of your browser window. To the right is your online friend notifier, status updates and chat tool, but to the left is what I had never noticed: applications, page manager, photos, groups, events, marketplace and links.
Well, folks, there it is. How you find your Facebook Fan page on the new Facebook layout.

so helpful – it’s like I never look at that bottom bar – maybe I should see what else is down there!
Korthals Griffons December 31st
Thanks for the info. It was helpful, especially since FB seems to want to hind things you might want to have access to. Like your fan pages….
Patrick January 11th
Hmmm….still can not find my facebook fan page using this info.
I cant beleive how tricky this is. I want peple to find me can you help?

(puzzled)
Hannah Sentenac January 11th
Hi Patrick! I don’t see the page at that URL. When you look at the page yourself, is that the URL that shows up for you?
Andrew Jaffa February 10th
I can’t seem to find the toolbar either. Is there an app that needs to be activated?
Ross King February 15th
it’s changed again and the ‘PAGES’ have been lost once more… Any ideas where they may have hidden it this time?
I can see pages that I admin but no mention of the others.
Any clues?
Hannah Sentenac February 17th
Hi Ross,
Yes. If you login to Facebook, on the left hand side you’ll see a column that lists news feed, messages, events, photos, friends, etc. Towards the bottom you should see an option that says “Ads and Pages.” If you click on this, it will pull up your entire list of pages you administrate. You can also access any ads you may be managing through the Ads Manager at the top of this page. Hope that helps!

I’m sorry, but I can’t find it. Home page, Profile page, I see the other things you are talking about, but not the Ads and Pages.
Hannah Sentenac March 31st
Hi Jeremy,
What if you type the name of your fan page into your search box at the top of your profile? Does the page come up for you then?
Javier Dorfsman April 18th
click on account-> edit pages.
A Little Helping Hand September 5th
I think the thing that has not been mentioned and easily overlooked if you already have a fan page is that you NEED TO CRETE A PAGE in the first place. along the very bottom click on Advertising, then after this in the top right corner of the new window is a green button stating ironically “Create a page”, select this and input the relevant information as requested and then revert back to the posts shown here.

I’m no longer able to administer my fan pages as it says i don’t have any pages. I guess I’m screwed! I’ve sent several emails but don’t really expect an answer.
Jennifer December 9th
Like Jeremy I can’t find the list with ads & pages either…home page or profile page. I can search and find the site but it doesn’t have an “edit pages” under account. HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!
Hannah Sentenac December 9th
Hi Jennifer (and Susie!),
If you click on account in the upper right hand corner, you should see a “manage pages” option as the second one down.
Also, as long as you’re a page admin, you can always go directly to the page in question and you can administrate from there.
Hope that helps!
Vladimir January 5th
Does Facebook delete pages unsolicited without any notification?! I cannot find a page that I administered and it no longer shows up on Search!!
Thanks!
Hannah Sentenac January 24th
Hi Vladimir,
I’ve never heard of Facebook deleting a page without notification. If you post content that violates their terms of service they will typically send you an email letting you know, although there is often little you can do for recourse. Hope you had some luck finding your page!
tom February 6th
so does the page you create show up in your main profile page somewhere? i am not sure why i should make a page if no one not even myself can find it?

Hannah Sentenac March 22nd
Hi William,
Are you having trouble logging into Facebook at all? If you could post some more details about what’s happening and how you’re unable to log in, I can try and help you find your page. Thanks!
Hannah Sentenac March 22nd
Hi Tom,
If you create a fan page, it exists on Facebook for anyone to find. If you’re an admin of a page, it is accessible for editing from your main profile. You can either click on “ads and pages” in the left hand menu, or just type the name of your page into search and get to it that way. If you’re an admin, any time you go to the page you’re able to edit it. Hope that helps!
Hannah Sentenac March 22nd
Hi Himbi,
What do you mean you can’t find it? If you are logged into your main Facebook profile page, you should be able to type the name of your fan page into search and get to it that way. Or, you can click on “ads and pages” in the left hand column, from your main profile page, and you’ll see a list of the pages you’re an admin for there. Let me know if that works ok for you!
Hannah Sentenac March 22nd
Hi Vladimir,
Facebook does delete pages from time to time if they violate the terms of service, but they generally send a notification email to the email address associated with your Facebook login. I have heard of cases where pages are deleted without notice, however. I would recommend reaching out to Facebook via Twitter (@Facebook), or contact them through their advertising team in order to get some answers. They can be very difficult to contact otherwise.
Vister April 6th
I don’t have that nifty tool bar but I did finally discover how to access my fan pages for editing. First, go to your profile page and click Edit Profile in the top right corner. Then, go to the left of the page and click on Activities and Interests. Then you will see in very small print, Show Other Pages under the Interests part.

Thank uuuuuuuuuuuu, Vister

Facebook is definitely a very confusing platform to administer. I don’t think they give very much thought to usability and would probably not use it if it weren’t so popular. Here is how you get to your ‘Pages’ you created once you have logged in from your main profile.
At the very bottom of the page (yes you have to keep scrolling as Facebook ‘conveniently’ keep displaying more Posts is a small navigation bar (About, Advertising, Create a Page …. Help).
Click on Advertising.
On the left navigation column is a the Navigation element everyone is struggling to find because it’s buried down here called ‘Pages’. Click this and your various Pages will be listed and you can then click on an individual one to edit it.

I can’t find a way to add the video app to my facebook page so I can add videos to my photo album. I have two videos a friend did of us and posted them to my profile page. I want them in my photo album and when I tried to do so, it said I needed to add the video app. I have searched all the help options…nothing works…HELP!

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone could help my issue of our company Facebook fan page not coming up in Google, Yahoo or Bing search results any longer.
Our company FB page is facebook.com/chromewheels. We run 80 retail stores in 9 States. The search engines used to index and show our FB fan page, however, about 3 weeks ago I noticed it stopped. There were no changes at all to any privacy settings.
Any ideas?
Kristen Cruz August 8th
This is a great article that will help you add a video app to your Facebook Page. http://www.reelseo.com/facebook-video-apps/ Viddler for Facebook is a good option for you also.
Kristen Cruz August 8th
Rent A Wheel, what keywords were you/are you using to try to find your page in the engines?
RentAWheel/RentATire August 8th
Hi Kristen, I used to see our FB page when I typed either the URL itself or ‘rent a wheel rent a tire’. Now, those keyword phrases are not working when trying to find our FB page.
Looks like our FB page isn’t being indexed by Google, Yahoo and Bing. From the content we were adding and the fan base growing (from 950 to 1375 in 3 months) Google was indexing our site frequently…I would say every 5-7 days. And now it all seemed to stop. I can’t figure it out.
Appreciate any advice.

Facebook is a cluster mess. There are so many people that cannot utilize fan pages. You would think with all the money behind then=m they could hire a logical thinking person for design.

Please Help !!!!!! I cannot administer my Facebook fan page.. I guess I have been removed as admin. When Post on my page, it does not stay on my page.. I cannot edit, manage or do anything on my page.. If I post on my page, it goes to most recent and does not remain on the wall.. Few weeks ago, my page was offenten updated, I thought it was because Of RSS updates I allowed.. After sometime I decided to delete the updates from RSS..And posted my own to my wall.. Now I want to delete the Post I posted on Fan page wall, I could not, it says report or mark as Spam. Oh, I spam no one. Don’t know what is happening.. I was told that some might have reported me as spamming or I was removed from my page as admin.. I wrote couple of times to facebook but np answer.. Now when I post to my fanpage, it shows me as my profile account because I have different Picture in both Fan page and profile page..Also the post goes to Filter (most recesnt) and not on the wall.

Hockey Playa December 30th
FB Pages are very frustrating. I am the creator and admin for facebook.com/hawksicehockey. The page is no longer public. For some reason, FB has removed the page. I to not know if they have deleted it, since I have been contacting them for over a week through several different means and the page has not been restored, nor have I received any feedback.
We recently dismissed our Team Captain. Thereafter, he blocked several members of the Team, including me, on FB. Then, he started flaming the page. Because I was blocked, I could not manage his flaming posts on our page. So, I had to ban him (actually, my 2nd Admin banned him since he could see his profile). One day later, our page was down. I suspect that the former Captain fictitiously reported the page. But, FB did not follow-up in any fashion with me.
These are basic customer service issues. FB has taken action without investigation. Now, I cannot get the page restored since I cannot reach anyone at FB. Sad.
Becky January 19th
Ohhh I hope you guys can help. I have created a fan page for my empoyer. However when someone goes to search it on FB it doesn’t come up.
Any ideas? It is published, so I don’t know what else needs to be done. The whole point is to be searchable for our residents. Thanks so much.
Kammy February 4th
I’ve recently created two fan pages. One shows up in FB search, the other does not. I’ve tried everything I can think of to make it show. Everything is set for public viewing. This page is for a client and their page NEEDS to show up in search.
Help, please!
