I've been asked several times really recently regarding changing page link, so that suggests it's time for a blog post!
Change Facebook Page Url
Actions To Take Prior To You Change Your Username
Your username develops the real one-of-a-kind web link for your Facebook web page. Before you alter this, make a checklist of all of the areas online that connect to your page, or products that have your existing URL detailed on them. For example:
-your website
-blog posts
-email signature
-graphics
-other social media networks
-email templates
-business cards
-brochures, posters, marketing materials
-document templates
Once you change your username, the old link will be damaged. Regarding I recognize, there is no way to set up a momentary redirect from your old username to your brand-new one so you want to see to it that you are prepared to update these things as quickly as you alter your username.
How To Change Your Username
When your page is created, a username is instantly created that appears like www.facebook.com/Your-Page-Name-Here-2398613149875983. Not very eye-catching, not very easy to remember, not extremely simple to fit on a business card!
Previously, admins could just alter a page username 2 times and afterwards it was irreversible - Facebook seems to have raised that limitation!
From your page, go to About (on the left sidebar).
Click Edit close to Username.
Kind your brand-new username. You have 50 characters.
- Tip: even though usernames are not situation delicate, consider utilizing the initial letter of each word for better readability
If your username is readily available, check the punctuation
Click Create Username
Referral the listing you made previously and update any links that are indicating your old address
CAN'T ALTER YOUR USERNAME?
There might be something in your name that breaks the custom username standards. From the Facebook help facility:
-You could just have one username for your Web page or profile as well as you can't declare a username somebody else is already making use of.
-Usernames can only consist of alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a duration (".").
-Durations (".") as well as capitalization don't count as a part of a username. As an example, johnsmith55, John.Smith55 as well as john.smith.55 are all considered the very same username.
-Usernames should be at the very least 5 personalities long as well as can't have generic terms or extensions (ex:. com,. web).
-You have to be an admin to create or alter the username for a Page.
-Your username must follow the Facebook Declaration of Rights as well as Responsibilities.
On top of that, you might not be able to transform your username until your web page has 25 likes - although this isn't consistent for each customer.
