Why Is There No Message Button On Some Facebook Pages?

If you don’t see a message button on a Facebook page, it’s because the page admin has disabled the messaging feature on the business page. There can be multiple reasons behind the admin’s decision to turn off private messaging on their FB page. The most common one is to protect the page from the low responsive rating that Facebook puts on the page if they don’t respond to messages quickly.

The flood of messages sometimes overwhelms the admin and negatively impacts the FB page. Admins, however, can enable auto-response to save their page from negative ranking and instill trust in their followers that their voices are being heard.

The average response rate on Facebook is 5 minutes.
