{How to Shorten Your Facebook Business Page URL} - A "Facebook Friday" Post

Do you manage a facebook business page? Did you know you may be able to shorten your facebook business page URL?

How to Shorten Your Facebook Business Page URL:
1. Login to Facebook

2. Paste the following address into your browser: http://www.facebook.com/username/

3. Select your business page from the drop down

4. Type in the desired username for your business page…be very careful – no misspellings or typos here. Remember Usernames can only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and periods (.)

5. Click on “check availability”

6. If the page name you desire is available, a pop-up window will appear with the following information:
(page URL here) is available. Several things for you to remember:
~ You may not be able to change the username of (page name) once you set it.  It used to be forbidden, but now you can go through an application process to request a change.  No guarantees.
~ You can't transfer the ownership of a username to another party.
~ You can't violate anyone elses trademark rights.
~ If you are acquiring a username to sell it in the future (squatting), you will lose it.
~ Usernames may be reclaimed for other unauthorized usages.
~ Are you sure you want to set (page URL) as (page name’s) username?

7. If you are absolutely sure you wish to secure the page URL you’ve selected, click “confirm”.

I hope you found this information handy and look forward to visiting your facebook business page! Share your page info in the comments below and we’ll stop by for a visit and a “like”.
