Claiming Your Facebook Vanity URL
Updated: Sep 13, 2022
A key step in personalizing your Facebook business page, as well as creating a unified brand identity, is claiming your Facebook handle, also known as a vanity URL.
This handle will allow your page’s web address to be customized. Instead of the default jumble of numbers and letters like facebook.com/alkjsdlfkjwelkrjlkjf13lkj234, you’ll be able to direct your viewers to facebook.com/yourveterinaryclinic.
To customize, you’ll need to be an admin on your practice’s Facebook page. This process is easiest done on a desktop, where you’ll
Click “About” on the left-hand toolbar.
Click “edit” next to your current page username
Enter a new username, up to 50 characters
If the username is available, you’ll see a green check and the “Create Username” button enabled.
