2 countries - 2 different pages?

hi all,

my magazine facebook page's been unpublished, and the editor and myself have decided not to wait until Facebook responds to the appeal, as I undestand they may not even do it at all. since the ball needs to keep rolling, and we need to keep rocking, we're starting over. now, we disagree on the best way to do it.

our publication is based in Portugal, it's in portuguese and we started shifting some of the attention and hitting the brazilian market some time ago (we have a team there now), which resulted in a lot of brazilians liking our page. that's great to raise the number of likes on the page, but i'm thinking long term. i'm wondering now if we should open a separate page for Brazil, since we do want to have a strong presence there.

some posts will only be relevant for a portuguese audience - concert announcements, for ex -, while others will be directed to the brazilian one - concert reviews, for ex. i love the idea of a musical exchange with both countries, and that can still happen if there are 2 pages, with sharing content from one to the other. also, general posts that appeal do both audiences - album reviews, new songs, etc - would be posted on both pages and that would potentially double reach.

do you guys reckon it would be better to open a separate page for Brazil or keep both audiences under the same page?

unfortunately there are less chances it would be publish again by fb.
I have tried numerous times but i couldnt succeeded

hey ankit, thanks for your feedback (':
do they even reply to the appeals at all?

Depends what was the reason for unpublishing. If you got caught for posting some naughty stuff, its unlikely they will publish it again.
If you have any chance of getting banned again in the future, id go with 2 separate pages. If you do only white hat stuff, id go with one page - its easier to grow bigger like that.

it was our business page, our digital music magazine facebook page. no naughty pics, no spam, nothing. we've had the page for 3 years.

i went through the page terms and none of the points were violated. we're completely astonished that this would happen and we don't even get to know what we did wrong. if anything! not sure if we should keep appealing until we hopefully get an answer.

thanks, AK. we decided to go with one page because it really is quite easier to grow when you have to start from scratch.

Keep appealing, you might get lucky.

Hey guys, can we focus on this main question here? Not the banned FB page, but the targeted countries. I'm curious about this too
