If your page is less than 200 &#8216;likes&#8217;, you can&#8217;t do it, and if you have over 200, you&#8217;ll need to ask your followers to &#8216;unlike&#8217; it before making the change. Changing your page&#8217;s name is an easy process, and it will make your followers happy!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common\"><\/span>Common<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering, &#8220;How do I change the name of my Facebook page?&#8221; there are several common methods. You can also change your page name incrementally. For instance, you could go from &#8220;Alex Bakers &amp; Fast Foods&#8221; to &#8220;Infotech IT Solutions&#8221; by changing the name of your page in a few minutes. In the end, you&#8217;ll have the new page name and no one will know it&#8217;s a copy and paste job.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must be the page administrator. You can access your page&#8217;s settings by clicking on the settings menu. Click the &#8220;About&#8221; tab from under your Facebook cover photo. Select &#8220;About&#8221; from the left-hand pane. Click on &#8220;Page Info.&#8221; In the next window, click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button. Type in your new page name and click &#8220;Request change.&#8221; After the name is changed, Facebook will let you know when the change will be applied.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_change_a_Facebook_pages_name\"><\/span>Reasons to change a Facebook page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first reason you might want to change a Facebook page&#8217;s name is to rebrand your business. If you want your company to become more relevant, consider renaming the page from Alex Bakers &amp; Fast Foods to Infotech IT Solutions. There are many other reasons for changing a page&#8217;s name, though. Read on to learn more about the benefits and drawbacks of this procedure.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons why you might want to change the name of your Facebook page. If your page is currently under suspension, it&#8217;s probably because you violated the rules about page names. In these cases, you need to appeal to Facebook. However, the process is time consuming and you&#8217;ll need a lot of patience. You&#8217;ll have to submit official documentation and certification to the social media platform. Ultimately, though, it&#8217;s not impossible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_it_takes_to_change_a_pages_name\"><\/span>Time it takes to change a page&#8217;s name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to change the name of a Facebook page is to make the change from &#8220;business page&#8221; to &#8220;personal page.&#8221; While this is an option for any Facebook page, changing the name of a business or personal profile is not always possible. If your page has more than 100 fans, you will need to wait at least 24 hours before making the change. It&#8217;s also recommended to give your new name a week&#8217;s worth of time before making a permanent change.<\/p>\n<p>You can change the name of a page only if you have admin authority. Changing the name of your page will be difficult if you&#8217;re not an admin. You can change your page name incrementally, like from Alex Bakers &amp; Fast Foods to Infotech IT Solutions. This way, you don&#8217;t have to change your page name all at once. After all, the name is already visible to the public.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_a_pages_name_if_you_have_200_or_more_likes\"><\/span>Changing a page&#8217;s name if you have 200 or more &#8216;likes&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change the name of your Facebook page, you must first login to your account as the admin. You can change the name only if you have 200 or more &#8216;likes&#8217;. However, if you already have a huge fan base, it may be hard to change the name without contacting Facebook. Once you have reached this threshold, you can change the name of your page by hovering over its name and clicking Edit. You will also need to wait for Facebook to manually approve the new name.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the name of your page after 200 &#8216;likes&#8217; is difficult, but it is possible. According to Facebook&#8217;s help section, you can try to change the name of your page by requesting a page merge. This will result in your page losing all content but transferring your &#8216;likes&#8217;. However, it is worth noting that you can only change the page name once.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"205\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BV-jDObjqNU\" width=\"367\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change the Name of My Facebook Page?
