Your Facebook Page URL should look like facebook.com/yourpagename. To change it, you can change or update your Page’s username. This is the simple word or phrase after the slash. You can only do this if you are the main admin of the Page. It must follow Facebook’s rules, like being easy to spell and not breaking their guidelines. You can change it once every 14 days. If you have been looking for how to do it, here is an easy step-by-step guide on how to set a custom username or URL for your Facebook page.

Important Tips and Rules
- Who can do this? Only Page admins. If you have multiple admins, anyone can change it.
- What are the rules? Your username must be at least 5 letters long, use only letters, numbers, and periods. No spaces or special signs. It cannot break Facebook’s rules, like using bad words or copying someone else’s name.
- How often? You can change it only every 14 days. Think carefully!
- What if it does not work? If the button is grey or missing, your Page might be new (needs 25 likes) or have violations. Wait or contact Facebook support through the Help Centre.
- Old URL? Your old link will still work and point to the new one, but use the new one for sharing.
- Test it: After saving, type facebook.com/yournewusername in a new tab to check if it opens your Page.
That’s it! Changing your Facebook page URL makes it easier for people to remember and visit your Page. If you get stuck, search “Facebook Help” in the app for more pictures. Happy sharing!
