In this article we&#8217;ll discuss three important aspects of changing Facebook link: Custom URL, Username, and Page URL. We&#8217;ll also touch on Redirects. The first step is to locate the old URL on your Facebook page. You can use tools such as AHrefs or Moz&#8217;s Open Site Explorer to identify it. Once you&#8217;ve found it, notify the owner of the URL. Some will agree to change it, some won&#8217;t, but we&#8217;ll say that any change is better than none.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_URL\"><\/span>Custom URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to change the URL of your Facebook page, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. First, you need to know that you can only change your Facebook link&#8217;s URL once. The old URL will be invalid, and anyone trying to access it will get an error page. In addition, changing the URL will make your page appear in search results in more than one place. To avoid confusion, it&#8217;s best to change your URL only once.<\/p>\n<p>The second way to change your Facebook link&#8217;s URL is to edit your group&#8217;s numerical URL. Groups, pages, and profiles all have a numeric URL assigned automatically. To change your group&#8217;s URL, go to the settings menu and click &#8220;Edit Group.&#8221; Alternatively, you can change the URL to a vanity URL. Changing the Facebook link&#8217;s numerical URL will give you a URL that people will be able to remember.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Username\"><\/span>Username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change Facebook link username, you&#8217;re not alone. The social network is known for its unique URL format, which means that you can change your username as often as you like, but there are a few rules you should follow to ensure your link remains unique. First of all, be sure to select a name you&#8217;re comfortable with, as changing your link URL will result in invalid links. Additionally, changing your username can cause confusion for other Facebook users who may try to visit your URL.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to change your Facebook link username, you must navigate to the settings tab. Click the downward-facing arrow at the top-right corner of the page and choose &#8220;Settings &amp; Privacy.&#8221; Scroll down until you see your username and click the edit button to make it your own. If the username you want to change is not already used, Facebook will let you know and allow you to change it. However, be aware that if you change it, the change may take some time and you may have to wait a day or two before your new username becomes available.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Page_URL\"><\/span>Page URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to target specific audiences, you should learn how to change the URL of your Facebook page. You can change the URL to target specific users, cities, and even usernames. The new URL will be active only after you change it; the old one won&#8217;t work anymore. To make sure you&#8217;re not breaking Facebook&#8217;s policy, you should change the URL of your page in several places. You can do this quickly and easily from any device.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve done this, you should have a URL you can remember. A short URL is easy to type and is easier to share with your friends. If you&#8217;ve optimized your page for the Facebook platform, your URL will be more visible to users, so you&#8217;ll have a higher ranking in their user feeds. When you first set up a page, you&#8217;ll need a URL. Facebook provides you with two choices: a custom URL that you can create for your page, and a URL that reflects your brand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Redirects\"><\/span>Redirects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to change Facebook link redirects is a common question asked by many marketers. The reason why this is so important is that Facebook does not allow you to redirect your users back to your old URL. Consequently, anyone visiting your old URL will be directed to a 404 error page. However, there are ways to get around this limitation. Here are some of the most common methods. This article will discuss each of them.<\/p>\n<p>You must first determine which of the old links on your website have been redirecting to your new page. The old URL is no longer working on Facebook searches and it will show a&#8217;sorry this page is not available&#8217; message, which may lead you to believe that your page is closed. To resolve this issue, you must first change the name of your page. It will make the old link no longer work, and you should change it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7JeafYd71DY\" height=\"279\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Facebook Link If you&#8217;re a webmaster and wondering how to change Facebook link, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
