About Global Page
A Global Page on Facebook is a special type of page structure designed for brands with an international presence. It allows businesses to manage multiple localized Facebook pages under one unified brand identity, while delivering region-specific content to users based on their location.
Key Features of Global Pages
Single Unified URL:
All Global Pages share the same URL (e.g., facebook.com/YourBrand), providing a consistent experience for users worldwide.Localized Content:
Users are automatically redirected to a localized version of the page based on their geographical location. These local pages can have content tailored to the audience’s language, culture, or regional preferences.Default/Main Page:
A Main Page serves as the fallback option for users in regions without a localized version.Shared Insights:
Admins can access both individual and consolidated analytics for all pages in the structure.Custom Branding:
All pages under the Global Page structure share the same profile picture and cover photo, ensuring a unified visual identity.
How It Works for Users
When someone visits the brand’s Facebook URL, they are automatically redirected to the local page for their country or region.
If no localized page exists for their location, they are directed to the default (Main) page.

How to Create a Global Page
Creating a Global Page on Facebook from your existing pages is a process that involves several steps. A Global Page structure allows a brand to manage multiple local pages under one “umbrella” for different geographical regions.
Contact Facebook Support
Setting up a Global Page structure cannot be done through your settings. You need to contact Facebook Business Support and request the transition to a Global Page structure.Ensure your pages meet the requirements (e.g., connected to the same brand, products, and target audience).
Prepare the Required Information
Facebook may ask for the following:A main page that will serve as the default page for users without localization.
Local pages with their URLs and the specific countries or regions they target.
Information on desired geographic targeting (e.g., "This page is for users in Germany").
Facebook Sets Up the Global Structure
Once approved, Facebook will configure your main page and connect it with the local pages. Each user will be directed to the local page based on their geographical location.
What Happens to Content During the Merge?
Preservation of Local Page Content:
The content (posts, photos, videos) of each local page remains on its respective page. Merging into a Global Page structure does not affect the content of individual local pages.Main Page:
The main page will act as the default page for users from regions that do not have a localized version, and its content will be managed separately.
How to Connect Your Facebook Global Page to ZoomSphere
To successfully connect your Facebook Global Page to ZoomSphere, follow these steps:
Ensure Proper Access
Make sure you have Admin access or Content Management access directly on Facebook for each of your sub-pages (individual pages for each country or region). Without this access, you won't be able to integrate them into ZoomSphere.
Connect Sub-Pages to ZoomSphere
Each sub-page must be connected to ZoomSphere as you would connect a standard Facebook page. Follow the same process for integrating individual Facebook pages within ZoomSphere.
Grant Team Permissions
Assign the appropriate roles within ZoomSphere to your team members. For example:Assign the Scheduler role to allow your team to manage content scheduling for these pages.
This ensures your team can work seamlessly with the connected sub-pages.
Integrate with ZoomSphere Apps
After connecting the sub-pages, link them to relevant ZoomSphere apps, such as the Scheduler App. This will enable you to create and manage content tailored to each sub-page.
Create Targeted Content
When creating content in ZoomSphere, select the specific sub-page you want to target. This ensures that the content is appropriately localized and published to the correct audience.
