Facebook is really nice platform to share your Social things as well as it gives leverage to Business owners to take advantage of this powerful medium. When we talk about Business then we must thinking of Facebook Fanpage because if you want to use Facebook for Business then Facebook Fanpage is must for you.
Till now Fanpage URL was having some ugly style but now you Can change your Facebook Fanpage URL. You can have some unique name for your Facebook Fanpage. Like www.Facebook.com/yourcompanyname.
The name which you are looking for must be free. Earlier we shared a simple tutorial for finding the Facebook Profile/Page ID and we are going to see a tutorial on how to change the Facebook fanpage vanity URL in just 6 Steps. Let’s see step by step procedure for changing Facebook Fanpage URL.
#1 – Logon to your Facebook account.
#2 – Open http://www.facebook.com/username/
#3 – Select your Desire Page name from dropdown list.
#4 – If your page is having more than 25 people then you will get an option to select new USER Name. Type your desire Username and hit Check Availability.
#5 – Facebook will prompt you if the desire USER ID is free. You need to confirm the same.
#6 – Guess What ? You are done with your job. Check the new URL for your Fanpage and don’t forgot to update it at relevant pages of your Blog / Site.
I will appreciate your comments on this. Feel free to contact me if you are looking for any further information.
when i log in http://www.facebook.com/username/ I am redirected to my homepage… without the said dropdown list.. Help..
I have the over the required number of fans or “likes” for a personal URL. Unfortunately, the drop down list doesn’t list my pages. I am not able to choose.
Any ideas?
Jay
I changed it too. Thanks for the tut. http://www.facebook.com/XPozedCom
The Vanity Url can’t be changed once you applied it, so be careful while choosing. And Vanity Url can also be set for a user profile.
I have been using this for a week, it is really important and it was suggested by Pradeep. 🙂
Thanks for the Tutorial. Helped me a lot 🙂
