A: To get a custom URL for your Facebook Page, you need to meet Facebook's eligibility requirements, such as having at least 25 Page followers and an account that is at least 30 days old. Once you meet the requirements, you can go to your Page's settings and choose a unique username or vanity URL for your Page.
Right-click on the link and select the option to edit the link. In the Edit Hyperlink window, delete the current text in the “Text to display” field and type in the new name you want to use for the link. Click the “o*k” button to save the changes and close the Edit Hyperlink window.
- If you want to shorten your url even further, you can use the urls 'fb.com' or 'fb.me' instead of facebook.com. e.g. Once I have the url facebook.com/OrangeTwig, I can use the url 'fb.com/OrangeTwig' or 'fb.me/OrangeTwig' for my page.
On your profile page, click the Edit icon next to Public profile & URL on the right pane. Under Edit your custom URL on the right pane, click the Edit icon next to your public profile URL. Type or edit the last part of your new custom public profile URL in the text box. Click Save.
If Facebook is suspicious, it may suspend your page, so you wouldn't be able to edit your page name. Your page has too many likes. If your page has more than 200 likes, you have to be an admin to change your Facebook page name. Fewer than 200, and you may be able to change it without admin privileges.
