How to remove location from Facebook Page

Do you ever come across a task that should be straightforward yet it somehow takes an hour to figure out? Our office recently moved and I was asked to change the address and map on our Facebook page. No problem… sounds pretty simple. Although we spend a lot of time on Facebook pages, changing a business address is something that we rarely do. How hard can it be.. right?

Here’s how you think it should work

In a perfect world, you should simply navigate to the “About” section on the Facebook page using the left-hand navigation. This is where the map is located.

You should then just have to click on “Edit Page Info” on the top right and open a pop-up window.
