Facebook Business Pages removes information fields

The German original reported a Facebook Business Pages update scheduled for 1 August 2019 that would remove several information fields. This is an archived account of that change, not a description of every field available in today's interface.

Which fields were affected?

The article lists fields such as company overview, mission, additional contact information, founding date, biography or description, interests and popular products among the areas discussed in the announcement.

It warned that information stored in removed fields might no longer be displayed and recommended moving important details into suitable remaining fields, such as the page description, contact information, categories or website links.

Why simplify page information?

The author's interpretation was that fewer overlapping fields could make business pages more consistent and easier for visitors to understand. Clear information helps someone find the essential details of a shop or company.

Practical steps for page owners

• Review the information currently stored on the page.
• Keep a copy of details that matter to the business.
• Place important information in the appropriate fields that remain available.
• Use the review to correct outdated contact details and descriptions.
• Pay attention to later platform notices rather than assuming the interface will remain unchanged.

Conclusion

The specific deadline in this article has passed, but the broader lesson remains useful: important business information should not depend on a field that only exists inside a third-party platform. Maintain a reliable source of your details and review changes to the channels where customers find you.
