Rick’s Tips: Set up a Custom URL For Your Facebook Business Page Today!

Secure your Facebook business page custom address today! Facebook has lifted the 25 fan minimum for a vanity username.

You can do away with that URL with the long number right away when starting a new page. Already shared that link? No problem it will still direct to your page.

Update: September 17th, Facebook has set a limit to one upgrade per person, so if you admin several pages, choose one carefully!

Word of caution you can’t change the username once you set it.

You are just a half a cup of coffee away from doing away with that ugly URL with numbers…watch the video or follow the written instructions.
