For example, your username is @BestCookiesTexas. If you would like to change your name to Best Texas BBQ, you will need to change it separately. If you want to change your username, go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Name and click Change. You will see a list of available name options. Choose one of them and make the change.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Problems_with_changing_a_Facebook_business_pages_name\"><\/span>Problems with changing a Facebook business page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wanting to change the name of your Facebook business page, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. The name of your page has been misrepresenting your business and other users. It&#8217;s important to keep in mind that FB doesn&#8217;t allow business pages with offensive terms in their names. Here&#8217;s how to make the name change on your Facebook business page:<\/p>\n<p>First, you can&#8217;t change the name of your page continuously. Facebook doesn&#8217;t allow you to change the name if you&#8217;re not an admin or have no admin access. Also, the name of your page can&#8217;t be more than 75 characters. This is due to Facebook&#8217;s policies. To change the name of your page, you need to be an admin or have the permission of the page owner.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can change the name of your page in small steps. For example, if you&#8217;re a graphic designer, you can change your page&#8217;s name to &#8220;How-To Social Media Graphics&#8221; if you&#8217;d like to expand your business into a broader range of topics. In this way, your customers will know exactly what to expect from your business. Your customers will find your page, which is important if you want to attract new business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_you_shouldnt_change_it\"><\/span>Reasons you shouldn&#8217;t change it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are looking to change the name of your Facebook business page, you have a few reasons not to do it. Firstly, it presents inconsistent branding and could lead to confusion for customers. Secondly, a consistent name will make your business more credible and easy to find. So if you are spending a lot of time on advertising and marketing, you should check if your business page is still referred to by its original name.<\/p>\n<p>While most businesses have the option to change their name, you shouldn&#8217;t change it frequently. Facebook takes up to seven days to review any name change. Moreover, changing your Facebook business page name too often can confuse customers. So, if your business page has been approved, you should not change it more than once in seven days. You may appeal the denial, but it&#8217;s unlikely that you&#8217;ll be granted the change in any case.<\/p>\n<p>Your Facebook page name should reflect the content of your page. This doesn&#8217;t mean you can use a variation of the word &#8220;Facebook&#8221; or a company slogan, and it doesn&#8217;t mean you can just change it after a few days. Also, avoid using words that are too vague or misleading or abusive. You might also encounter trouble if someone else has changed the name of your page in the past few days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Possible_alternatives\"><\/span>Possible alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a business owner and you want to change the name of your Facebook business page, you can do so from the About section of your profile. The name of your page is important for several reasons. First, it reflects the identity of your business. Second, it reflects your brand, and third, it will help your followers stay in the loop about your business&#8217;s activities. Your Facebook page name should be consistent across all of your social media channels. And, of course, your page name should reflect your brand. You should also seek sign-off from your marketing team before making a change to your page name.<\/p>\n<p>The first alternative is to create a new page for your business. Facebook allows you to change the name of your page once you have become an Admin, but you can also change the name of your page if you have a second account. However, you should avoid using names that might be offensive or violate someone&#8217;s rights. Also, the page name shouldn&#8217;t contain abusive terms or phrases or any phrases that violate others&#8217; rights. Lastly, you should avoid using the word &#8220;official&#8221; in your Facebook Page name.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, you should avoid making a change to your business&#8217;s name because the company you&#8217;re working with may block your page. Facebook will review your changes and reject any names that might be offensive, controversial, or otherwise offensive. Changing your Facebook business page name can result in the deletion of all your content. So, if you don&#8217;t want this, try to change your name on Facebook before Facebook makes a decision on whether to approve your change.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"465\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lFre1PTqVYM\" height=\"260\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change the Name of Your Facebook Business Page You can change the name of your Facebook business page, but the problem with this is that your username will remain the same.
