How to create a custom Facebook Page url

John HaydonDuring the TechSoup webinar on Facebook last week, one question that came up was about creating a custom url for your Facebook Page.

There are three reasons to create a custom url for your Facebook Page:

1. It’s easy for supporters to remember.

2. Creating the custom url prevents someone else from registering it. And if someone else does register your brand, it may be costly to claim it as yours.

3. Improved SEO – especially if you use keywords in the URL name. For example, facebook.com/greatburgers will result in more hits than facebook.com/bobsgrill.

Watch the video at top to see how to create a custom Facebook Page url in about 70 seconds. John Haydon delivers social web strategy solutions for “the quick, the smart, and the slightly manic.” Curious? Then visit the John Haydon blog, follow him on Twitter or leave a comment.

  2. It doesn' work that way in my case…it doesn' show the "set username for your pages" option. Any ideia How i could change the url for my page??

    thanks!
