Claim Your Facebook Fan Page Custom URL Today

The glorious day is upon us, you can now claim vanity URL’s for Facebook Fan Pages.

Earlier this month, Facebook allowed users to grab custom URL’s for their own profile pages. For instance, you can find me on Facebook at Facebook.com/JustinWise:

A much needed, and much appreciated, change from the endless string of numbers that used to make up your profile URL:

(If you haven’t yet grabbed your custom URL, head to Facebook.com/username and get to it!)

Now, if you’re an admin for a Fan Page, you can grab custom URL’s for those too. (The group has to be more than 100 members, though.)

For instance, I’m an admin for the fan pages of my church’s three different campuses: Hope West Des Moines, Hope NorthBranch, and Hope CityBranch. Before, we were  having to use URL shorteners to easily tell people about the page. Forget trying to tell people the actual URL of the page, most pages have something that looks like this:

Now, we have easily identified URL’s on Facebook for two out of our three campuses:

Brand recognition, URL brevity, and the power of Facebook–what could be better? Are you an admin for a page on Facebook? Hurry up on over to the site and grab your organization-specific URL now. (And if you procrastinate and don’t get what you want, don’t say we didn’t warn you!)

    I do believe you can get custom URL's for pages now with only 50 fans (maybe less)… I have one for my novel – http://www.facebook.com/stpetersbrewery and there are only 51 fans right now.
    Yup, it's a hot seller! :-)

    Thanks very much for this info, Justin! It was very exciting to finally get my employer their own custom URL for the Facebook page I’ve been creating for them.

    (I even went ahead and got my own custom URL while I was at it.)

    P.S. I can confirm that the current number of page fans required is 25.

    Good article, thanks. Just wondered if anyone knows if there is way to grab a URL for a Facebook Group in the same way?
