Why can't I check in to the fanpage?
1. Duplicate page information
Coincidence here will include 2 elements:
- Same page name, similar page name.
- Same desired location
- check-in.
Thus, if two fanpages are similar in name and have the same check-in location, then Facebook will determine that one of the two fanpages is impersonating the other fanpage. Of course, if the page is determined to be impersonated, it will Lost check-in fanpage immediately.
2. Fanpage has just changed its name, fanpage has changed its name many times
- Just changed the name of the fanpage
When the fanpage has just been updated the data includes fanpage name, username, address, and map. At this time, Facebook needs a little time to collect the changed data.
Usually within 15 - 30 days, and that means you will not be able to check in on the fanpage.
- Fanpage changed its name many times
Just like with a newly renamed fanpage, each time you change your name, you need to wait about 15 - 30 days to get the check-in fanpage again.
Remember, changes in name, address, and page username are big changes. And what Facebook needs is time to update the information you change on the system.
3. Location has not been enabled on the check-in device
This is a fairly common error, very common and few people pay attention. You need to determine that your check-in is to tell everyone: " Right at this moment, I'm at this store or restaurant ."
But when the device doesn't turn on location, how can Facebook get data information about your location to check in, right?
4. Fanpage is not on the list of allowed check-ins
There are 2 main types of fanpage categories. Include:
- Business or brand.
- Community or public figure.
The check-in feature is only supported when you create a fanpage and select the category Business or Brand for this fanpage.
So how do you know which category a fanpage belongs to?
Simply, you just need to go to the fanpage introduction section, then add the address for the page and save it.
After that, reload the fanpage, then go back to the introduction section to see if there is a map section. If so, it is a fanpage belonging to the business and brand category. The opposite is not true.
