How to Set a Custom URL for Facebook Page

10

test

I advocate using a Facebook Business or ‘Fan’ PAGE to promote your business, but it can be difficult to promote this with the long URL or ‘Link’ Facebook gives you when you create your Page.

I’m often asked “How can I create a custom URL for my Facebook Fan Page to use in promotions?”

I’ve outlined the steps required (below) but it’s one of those things that is super easy to do once you have seen it done before.  So, I created a video to show you how to change your Facebook page URL to a neat, short professional looking website name like ours at:
http://www.Facebook.com/MarkandZoe

The Video shows you step by step exactly what to do….

Steps to set-up custom URL for your Facebook Business or Fan Page:

1. You need to be logged into your Facebook account.
2. If you have at least 25 fans (people that like your page), you can set a custom username/URL
3. Go to  http://www.facebook.com/username/
4. Select the page or account from the pulldown menu that you want to set URL for
5. Type the custom URL name you’ve selected into the box and check availability (Chose carefully as this cannot be changed once set)
6. Save Page URL name.

Your Facebook Page URL will now be http://www.Facebook.com/YourChosenName
Feel free to share your page address here once you have done this

    Great tips you have there on setting a custom URL on a Facebook page Zoe! Clear, concise and straight to the point. I think most people don’t realize that you actually need 25 people, that is one thing that caught me out at first.

    Thanks for providing the video too! It made things a whole lot easier to follow, I will be sure to direct anyone else who is having trouble in this area of facebook to your site.
