Your page name isn&#8217;t searchable and existing fans may find it confusing. If this happens to you, there are several steps you can take to resolve this issue. First, log into your Facebook account as an admin. Then, click on &#8220;Page Settings.&#8221; Once there, go to the General tab and then click on &#8220;Edit Page.&#8221; You&#8217;ll then need to enter the new name for the page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_cant_change_a_Facebook_pages_name\"><\/span>You can&#8217;t change a Facebook page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some basic rules that you must follow when changing the name of your Facebook page. First, you must have admin permission to do so. This is different from contributor or editor permission. Secondly, you should notify all of your followers of the change. Thirdly, you must follow Facebook&#8217;s terms of service. Depending on your business&#8217;s needs, you might not be able to change the name of your page.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to make sure that the name of your page isn&#8217;t already taken by someone else. Second, the name cannot be offensive, violating, or discriminatory. Third, the name must be easy to remember. This can be done if the page has more than one name. After this, you can change the name of your page if you are the admin. Lastly, you need to be logged into Facebook as an admin. If you cannot see the &#8220;Request Change&#8221; option in this section, it means that somebody has already tried to change the name of your page within a few days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_not_searchable\"><\/span>It&#8217;s not searchable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t noticed yet, Facebook has recently removed the privacy setting that lets people search through your profile. The privacy setting doesn&#8217;t make your information private, but it does make it more difficult for people to find. This means that your profile is still searchable by people who aren&#8217;t friends with you. If this sounds like a problem to you, keep reading. The good news is that Facebook has introduced the option to search through individual posts, which can be extremely useful if you want to keep track of news stories, Bernese mountain dogs, or embarrassing pictures.<\/p>\n<p>You might be asking, &#8220;How can I find someone who doesn&#8217;t know me on Facebook?&#8221; You&#8217;ve probably noticed this a lot lately, but it&#8217;s actually very easy! You&#8217;ll only need to know that person&#8217;s name or email address to search for them. Otherwise, you can do it with the name of their friend. That way, your friends can see who you&#8217;re friending. You&#8217;ll need to have an email address to send friend requests, and this is where the problem can come in.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_confusing_for_existing_fans\"><\/span>It&#8217;s confusing for existing fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering whether it&#8217;s safe to change the name of your Facebook page, there are some things you should know. First, be aware that it&#8217;s not advisable to do this if you already have a large fan base. Changing the name of your page can confuse existing fans, so it&#8217;s a good idea to alert them to the new name. Also, remember to change your links to the new URL.<\/p>\n<p>To change your page name, you must be an administrator of the page. Then, you can send a demanding form to ask your followers to &#8220;unlike&#8221; your page. You should also keep in mind that Facebook may restrict pages for certain activities or if the page name is misleading to existing fans. Make sure to choose the correct name, and follow the Community Standards. Your page&#8217;s name should represent your brand properly, and should be short and easy to understand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_not_searchable_for_existing_fans\"><\/span>It&#8217;s not searchable for existing fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to change the name of your Facebook page, you must first be an administrator. To find out what roles you have, visit Settings &gt; Page Roles. Click Edit page name and fill in the new name. Once the name has been approved, you can confirm the change by checking it within a few days. Be sure to check the status of your request in case it is not processed immediately.<\/p>\n<p>If you have less than 200 fans, you can change the name of your page by clicking on the Edit button at the top right of the page. This will reveal the name field and a link to the page&#8217;s name. Click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button to enter your new name and save the changes. You can change the name anytime before the page has more than 200 fans. However, please note that once you change the name, you cannot change the page&#8217;s name again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Page Name in Facebook If you have been trying to figure out how to change page name on Facebook, you&#8217;ve probably run into one problem.
