How to Change Page Name on Facebook

If you’ve been trying to change your page name on Facebook and you’ve been unable to, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Maybe due to a lack of clear instructions, you’ve made a misstep, and that’s why we’ll explore how you can update your Facebook page name, display name, and URL successfully.

In this article, we’ll also give you additional instructions to help you customize your Facebook page.

How to Change Your Page Name on Facebook

If you want to change your page name, you’ll have to be recognized as a page admin. Here’s how you can send a request:

1. Open Facebook and click on the three-line icon.
   
   
2. Click on “Pages.”
   
   
3. Go to your Page and click on the wheel and “Page Info.”
   
   
4. Click on “Name.”
   
   
5. Write the new page name.
   
   
6. Click on “Request Change.”
   
   

Changing your Page’s name won’t affect your Username, as this is connected to your account and can’t be changed.

What to Do If Facebook Refuses to Change Page Name

There are cases when Facebook may refuse to let you change the page name. Usually, this is because the name is already taken or when they’re not aligned with name guidelines. If you choose a name that drastically differs from your previous one, the chances of having your name refused are relatively high.

How to Change Your Facebook Page URL

Before we begin explaining, there’s an important thing we need to say. Everything after www.facebook.com/ is called the Username, and if you start looking for your URL in the settings, you’ll probably get lost. Here’s how you can change your URL or Username:

1. Open your Facebook account, which acts as the admin of the Page you want to change.
   
   
2. Open “Page info” on the left side of the Page.
   
   
3. Here you’ll see your current username, and if you click on it, you’ll be able to enter a new one.
   
   
4. After that, It will automatically save.
   

How to Appeal a Page Name Change on Facebook
