A client recently asked me how to create a friendly URL or vanity URL for their Facebook page. Here’s an example of mine: www.Facebook.com/MattCarlisle. A friendly URL is helpful when you are promoting your Facebook group or fan page; easily recognizable for quick access. Here are the instructions I shared with my client:
- Log into Facebook
- Click “Account” tab in upper right corner
- Chose “Account Settings”
- Click the “Change” text link in the username category
- You can then create your own unique username; this will be your domain extension (chose something short and identifiable). Be aware, you can only make this request once.
Simple stuff.
