How to Get a Facebook Vanity Url

Do you wonder how people get a custom url for their facebook page? Or maybe we should start with what is a Facebook vanity url.

What is a Vanity Url?

When you create a facebook fan page or profile your page url looks something like this:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Health-Practices-Online/146118965433138

Way to long and complicated to share with someone verbally. That is why you may want to create a vanity or custom facebook url. Here is the custom url I created for the above link:

http://facebook.com/HealthPracticesOnline

For Facebook Fan Pages you must have at least 25 ‘Likes’ before you can create a vanity url. Also, it’s important to think about what you want to use, because once you change your url you are stuck with it. Right now Facebook doesn’t allow multiple changes.

Are you ready?

If so, here is the link to update your Facebook url:
