Introduction
When you come across a page that looks like it should exist, but you’re not able to find it on Facebook, it can be very frustrating. Not being able to locate the page can be very annoying, especially if you’ve been directed there for an important reason. This can be a common problem when somebody inputs the wrong URL, or the page itself has been taken down or deleted. Here’s a guide on what to do when the page you requested was not found on Facebook.
How to Locate the Page
Check link accuracy: It’s possible that the page exists on Facebook, but the URL was simply entered incorrectly. Make sure to double-check the link carefully and make sure all words are typed correctly.
Search keyword: If the page hasn’t been taken down, but the URL is incorrect, try searching the page by its keyword or name. When you conduct a search, it’s important to check the spelling of the key words.
Rely on trusted sources: If you’re looking for a Facebook page, but you’re not sure of its URL, try accessing it from a trusted source. If there’s a link to the page on another website, click the link there. This will take you to the page, and you can then access it directly from there.
Visit the profile: If the page is a business, it’s likely that their Facebook account is accessible via the “People” option within the main Facebook search bar. Search for the person’s name and click on their profile, which will take you to their page.
