How to Change a Page Name in Facebook

How to Change a Page Name in Facebook: Your business may have grown or you may have diversified and it could require editing your Facebook page name, It used to be pretty challenging to do that, but with more recent changes on Facebook, it really takes little or no stress to edit your Facebook page name. We would show you how to edit you Facebook page name and avoid building a new page from scratch.

HOW TO EDIT YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE NAME

STEP 1

CLICK “EDIT” – View your page as admin, click on the About tab in the upper left side of the page, then click Edit. That’s right next to your page’s current name.

STEP 2

ENTER YOUR NEW PAGE NAME –  Once you’ve clicked into the Account Name box, type in your page’s new name.

You should ensure that your new name doesn’t break any of these Facebook naming dos and don’ts:
  1. Don’t use any variation of “Facebook” in your name.
  2. Don’t include your company slogan in your name.
  3. No random capitalization.
  4. Be specific with your name.
  5. Avoid misleading terms or words.
  6. Avoid words that can be discriminatory, violating, or abusive.

STEP 3

SUBMIT IT

Click Continue, after you’ve typed in your new page name. If you don’t see this option, cross-check to make sure that you’re listed as a page admin. Other page roles aren’t able to change Facebook page names. You can change those settings by clicking on Settings and then Page Roles on the left.
If you’re an admin and you still don’t see the Continue option, double-check to make sure that someone didn’t try to change the name within the past few days. There is no limit to how many times you can change your page’s name, just so long as those changes are done seven days apart.
It usually doesn’t take too long for Facebook to effect the change.
If there’s a delay of a day or two, you may need to reach out to Facebook and make sure there’s nothing standing in the way on your end.
