How to create your "Vanity" URL for your company Facebook Page
The Guys here at Web Directions have noticed that many of our friends and fans on Facebook who have a Facebook Page for their business, haven't claimed their 'Vanity' URL. In short you don't have to have a web address for Facebook with all the cluttered numbers and characters if you have over 25 likes .
Please follow these simple instructions and you could have it almost as quickly as you could say, for example ......"Millwall for the Cup"
What exactly do we mean by this?
When you first set up a Page for yourself or business, Facebook gives you a URL that looks something like this…..
www.facebook.com/pages/Your-Business-Name/1247859655?ref=ts
Not very easy to remember, and certainly not something you could tell your friends at a party to go and visit.
However, once your Page has reached 25 “likes” you are able to claim your own unique Facebook URL.
So now your Vanity URL can be www.facebook.com/YourChosenName
For example: https://www.facebook.com/webdirectionsuk
