This is different from contributor or editor permission. To change the name, you must first request permission from an admin. Once you have it, follow the instructions below. Once you have permission, you can make the change. However, be aware that changing the name of your page will affect the followers you have. For this reason, it is recommended to change the name only once in a year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Misleading_words_in_a_Facebook_page_name\"><\/span>Misleading words in a Facebook page name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common mistakes people make when creating a Facebook page is to use misleading words in the name. This is especially true if the page is selling something or has a negative message. Facebook will flag your page if it has these types of words in its name. You can easily fix the problem by following the Community Standards, and you can even avoid using any kind of misinformation. Below are some tips to create a Facebook page name that will work for your business.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a Facebook page name, remember that you cannot use generic or misleading terms. Your page name cannot contain a geographic location or generic terms that will be difficult to remember or spell. The name can be an organization that represents a specific region, but it cannot be generic or misleading. In addition to that, Facebook does not allow any type of slang or language. Moreover, if you&#8217;re launching a new product, be sure to have a strong logo that describes your products and services.<\/p>\n<p>While selecting a Facebook page name, you should also check for spelling and grammar. Keep in mind that your page can be banned for violating the terms of service. Also, try to avoid using &#8220;official&#8221; or other terms that might offend others. Also, avoid using slogans or other unnecessary capitalization. If you&#8217;d like to include a slogan or tagline, make sure to use it in the About section of the page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_a_Facebook_pages_name_can_confuse_followers\"><\/span>Changing a Facebook page&#8217;s name can confuse followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing a Facebook page&#8217;s name may confuse followers, but it&#8217;s not a huge problem. There are a few precautions you should take before you do it. For starters, you should ask for admin permission before renaming your page. After that, you&#8217;ll need to ask the administrator of your page if you&#8217;re sure the name is appropriate. Once you&#8217;ve received the OK, you&#8217;ll need to enter the new name. Don&#8217;t forget to check with Facebook before you do so.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, your new name shouldn&#8217;t be too different from your current name. The name of your page should be relevant to what you sell. A grocery store selling Coca-Cola products, for example, cannot be named &#8220;Coca-Cola&#8221; to avoid confusion. Also, the administrator of the Page must be an authorized representative of the business. You also shouldn&#8217;t call your page a fan page unless you&#8217;re explicitly calling it that.<\/p>\n<p>Changing a Facebook page&#8217;s name isn&#8217;t easy, but there are ways to overcome this problem. First, make sure you have enough time to change the page name. Facebook may take days or even weeks to approve a name change. You can ask for a change in a private discussion or through the suggestions feature. But it&#8217;s a great idea to have a clear name so that people can distinguish your page from the competitors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_it_takes_to_change_a_Facebook_pages_name\"><\/span>Time it takes to change a Facebook page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a business page on Facebook, you may be wondering how long it takes to change a page&#8217;s name. First, you need to log in to your Facebook account. On the left side of your homepage, you can click on Pages. From here, you can choose Edit Page Info. You&#8217;ll see a text box with the current page name. Click on Edit Page Info.<\/p>\n<p>Changing a Facebook page&#8217;s name can be done in stages, so that the process doesn&#8217;t take as long as you might think. First, you must notify your page&#8217;s followers of the change. Then, you have to wait for Facebook to review it. The process takes anywhere from an hour to more than three days. Once Facebook approves the change, you&#8217;ll have to notify your followers.<\/p>\n<p>After the page has been approved, you can change the name. If you&#8217;re not an administrator of the page, you can&#8217;t do this. You&#8217;ll need to wait for up to 3 days for Facebook to review the name change request. If the name change is approved, it won&#8217;t be possible for you to make the change again for 7 days. You&#8217;ll need to wait until you have admin rights and be sure you&#8217;re not violating Facebook&#8217;s terms and conditions.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"432\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8buAsprIQ24\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change a Facebook Page Name If you want to change the name of your Facebook page, you must be an admin.
