How To: Set A Custom Username For Your Facebook Business Page

Posted by Amanda Walsh

Today’s tip for our readers deals with Facebook pages. If you are looking to create a custom URL for your Facebook page, which you definitely should do for your business’ or organization’s page, you simply need to visit www.facebook.com/username.

Once you’re on that webpage, there is a link that reads, “Set a username for your Pages.” When you click on it, a drop down box appears saying:“Easily direct someone to your Page by setting a username for it. You will not be able to edit or transfer this username once you set it.”

Since page URLs are not able to be edited, make sure you put some thought into the decision. A custom URL is a good way to maintain brand consistency across the various social media platforms that may be a part of your marketing campaign.
