The problem with using the wrong name is that people can&#8217;t find you and may find it difficult to connect with you. But fear not &#8211; there are a few simple steps you can take to make your page name more appropriate. Read on to learn how. This process may take some time, but it&#8217;s worth the effort if you&#8217;re serious about growing your business and improving your online presence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_a_businesss_Facebook_page_name_can_be_a_difficult_process\"><\/span>Changing a business&#8217;s Facebook page name can be a difficult process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is difficult to change the name of a Facebook business page, especially if you have a large fan base. Facebook&#8217;s policies regarding the name of a page prevent you from changing it continuously. The name cannot be longer than 75 characters. It also cannot contain a role or admin name. This can be difficult if you&#8217;re not an admin or the page&#8217;s editor. If you need to change the name of your Facebook business page, the following procedures will be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>First, login to your business page and navigate to the settings. In the General settings, select &#8220;General&#8221; and click &#8220;Account Settings.&#8221; On the Settings page, choose &#8220;General&#8221; and click &#8220;Change Page Name.&#8221; Then, go to the Edit Page settings. Select &#8220;Change Page Name&#8221; and choose a new name. Make sure you check your spelling before submitting your request. Facebook typically approves name changes within three days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_can_be_time-consuming\"><\/span>It can be time-consuming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While you can change your name on Facebook, it&#8217;s not very straightforward. You&#8217;ll need to switch to a profile titled as your business page first. On a PC, click &#8220;Edit&#8221; and then &#8220;Change Business Name.&#8221; Once you have done this, Facebook will verify your new name against their name standards. Most changes will be made instantly, but some names will take a little longer.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll have to get approval from Facebook. If your proposed name isn&#8217;t similar enough to your existing name or it violates the guidelines for your page, you might be denied. Another option is to create a new page with a new name if you don&#8217;t have a lot of Facebook fans. This option is not recommended for pages with many followers or customers. You should only try this option if you&#8217;re not sure if it will work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_can_be_offensive\"><\/span>It can be offensive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to keep your business on Facebook but don&#8217;t like the name of your page, you should change it. Facebook has guidelines for page names. Names can&#8217;t contain symbols, numbers, or repeating characters. Punctuation is also off-limits, as is using unusual capitalization. Moreover, you shouldn&#8217;t include offensive or suggestive words. Here are some suggestions to avoid offending Facebook users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_can_be_difficult\"><\/span>It can be difficult<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It may seem impossible to change your business name on Facebook. The fact is, Facebook does not make it easy. You must follow the steps below to change your business name. You will need to update the page name as well as the page URL, and this may take a while. Facebook has its own sign-off process for changing your name, so make sure to follow this. Then, update your name on your page, too.<\/p>\n<p>First, you have to login to Facebook. Next, locate the small blue arrow located in the middle of your page. When you click on it, a dropdown menu will appear. From there, you can select Manage Pages. Scroll down to find the dropdown menu. Click on Edit Page Name to edit the name of your business. You can also change the category if you want. If you&#8217;re changing your name on Facebook, you have to request permission from the admins.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"506\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"283\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lFre1PTqVYM\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Business Name on Facebook If you&#8217;re a business owner, you might be wondering how to change the name of your Facebook page.
