We migrated our client's old Facebook page to a new Facebook page several months ago. When I search for "(Client's Name) Facebook" in Google, the old Facebook page appears, but not the new one.
When I visit the old Facebook page indexed in Google I get redirected to the new page, with a message that says "duplicate page detected, "You were automatically redirected because (Client's Name) was merged to this page.".
The problem is that we would like the new Facebook page to appear in Google and not the old one. Why won't it index in Google? Is there something that we need to do in Facebook or is this Google's wrong doing?

If the page redirects using a standard 301 then it would take sometime for Google to drop the page and amend the new one. New pages and changes to existing pages via redirects take time as said and this can take anywhere from 1 week to a couple of months if the page is regularly visited. You do not have control over the facebook.com domain so there is nothing you can do in web master tools to speed this process up as its out of your control.
