Tip #2: Facebook Vanity URL For Brand Impression

Facebook is a great social media platform for business owners to advertise brand and create great impression for it. Home to over 1.44 billion monthly users, a Facebook business page is a must to tap new customers from and to engage with existing customers to retain them.

After the business page creation, the next step for you is to claim your Facebook vanity URL. Why the need? You may ask. The reason is simple: It allows you to share your business page in an easy-to-understand URL, which looks professional and at the same time makes it easier for your customers to find.

What are the Steps in Claiming your Facebook vanity URL?

1. Go to http://www.facebook/username and go through the wizard that will eventually ask you to choose your vanity URL.

2. Select the username for your personal profile. To separate and identify the difference with your business page from your personal page, you need to choose the username you’ll use for your personal page based on the available suggestions that Facebook will give you.

3. Select your business page username. We recommend that you choose the name of your business for this for easier identification and also for uniformity in branding. You can select a username for each if you happen to have multiple pages. Do note that once created, a username cannot be changed nor transferred to a different business. Also, you must have at least 25 fans or ‘Likes’ before you can establish your vanity URL. In cases where your business trademark is already taken, you can inform Facebook’s Intellectual Property Team for the infringement and you can reclaim that username once it has been proven by Facebook that it has been used without authorization.

All these tips of claiming your vanity URL are mere guides to help your Facebook business page become a success. If you’re a business owner in Orange County who wants to get your brand seen, you can start off by choosing a username which your consumers have already associated with your business.
