For example: Suppose the Facebook page URL of XYZ company is

https://www.facebook.com/pages/XYZ/45879213

If you have an option to convert this URL to a shorter one like

https://www.facebook.com/XYZ

Which one of these two URLs is easy to find and share? Of course, it’s the second one.

Steps To Get A Custom Made Facebook Vanity URL-

  • Go to your Facebook page About section. There you will get the option to create a user name.
  • The username for the Facebook page should have at least 5 characters and must not exceed 50 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters only special characters are not accepted.
  • If your username has been already taken by someone else, Facebook will not accept it. In that case, you need to create a unique username.
  • After creating a username, you will get a confirmation message. Click on the Ok button.
  • You are all done! Check whether your new vanity URL is redirecting to your Facebook page or not.

In case you want to make some edits to the username, there you have the option to edit that. And accordingly, it will get you a custom-made vanity URL for your Facebook page.
