During my last stroll on Facebook I get this question and it wasn’t the first time, I have been already ask by mail and answered the same way, which wasn’t a good idea. In fact, I rather post about it so that everyone could find it somehow. If you already knows that, fine for you, but I keep on seing Facebook page with hundred of fans and with this inappropriate url for business.

Why inappropriate ?

Because it’s difficult to remember, to tag and to find. At the beginning my facebook url looks like this : http://www.facebook.com/pages/gracebailhachemytelepropartner/123456789011234 and I have reduce  it down to http://www.facebook.com/GraceBailhache

So here is the way to have your « vanity » Facebook page URL

Before doing it make sure you have spelled everything correctly and also that you are logged in with the proper profile, for those you have more than one profile. Because you cannot change your new short Facebook URL once it is created.

Click Account / Use Facebook as a Page (it’s based on the top right of your page)

Click Edit Page (still on the top right)

Click Basic Information (this time on the left navigation)

Edit the Username section (you’ll see it in the middle)
