Facebook web addresses allow you to easily promote your business, brand or organization's presence on Facebook with a short URL. The web address can be used in your marketing communications, company website and business cards.

An example of a Facebook web address is http://www.facebook.com/fbsitegovernance.

If you're an admin of a Facebook Page, you'll be able to choose your Facebook web address at http://www.facebook.com/username just like someone selecting a username for their profile (timeline). You can choose web addresses for each of the eligible Pages you manage.

Pages must have more than 25 likes to be eligible for a Facebook web address.

Facebook web addresses make it easier for people to find Pages and share them with others. As a public figure, business or brand with a Page on Facebook, your Facebook web address should be straightforward and easy to remember. Facebook encourages you to consider the following when creating a web address for your Page:

• Create a web address that is as close as possible to your public figure name or business name (e.g., MarkZuckerberg, Facebook). Or if your Page is about a particular topic related to your brand or service, create a Facebook web address appropriate to that theme (e.g., fbsitegovernance).
• Facebook web addresses can only contain alphanumeric characters (a-z, 0-9) or periods ("."), and must contain at least one letter. You may also include periods and capital letters to make your web address easier to read, but their use by others in finding your Page is optional. For example, http://www.facebook.com/fbsitegovernance and http://www.facebook.com/FB.Site.Governance go to the same Page.
• Choose a Facebook web address you'll be happy with for the long term. Web addresses are not transferable.
• Your Facebook web address must adhere to Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.

At this time, generic words are not available as Facebook web addresses. We encourage Page admins to create a web address that closely matches the true identity of their name or business.

No. Once you've claimed a Facebook web address by clicking the Confirm button, it's not possible to edit or transfer it to a different Page. Additionally, when a Page or account is removed from the site, its web address will not be made available to others for security reasons.
