In today’s video tutorial I’m going to go over how to set your Facebook Page URL. Facebook Pages are a great way for businesses to connect with current and new clients – essentially its a free marketing tool.
To setup a short URL address directly to your Facebook Page you need to choose a Username. Usernames are unique and on a first come first serve basis – so don’t wait too long! The only requirement right now is that you need 25 fans, basically 25 people have to LIKE your Facebook page before you can choose a permanent username. Once you pick a username, the link to your page will appear like this: www.facebook.com/USERNAME. Here’s the video:

Few additional tips:
- Keep the username SHORT
- Keep it SIMPLE
- Upper Case The First Letter Of Every Word
- NO Hyp-hens!
- Don’t stuff it with keywords for SEO
- Don’t infringe on trademarks or you’ll lose the username.
