Whether you\u2019re changing your business name, your last name, or simply rebranding, here\u2019s how to rebrand your Facebook business page (without having to create a whole new page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the example below, I changed everything from our old red vine web studio brand to the new rebranded simple sprout studio on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay cohesive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re changing the name of your business or simply your name on your Facebook page, start by staying cohesive on all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double check that the page name\/URL is available on all<\/em> social media platforms so that you can stay cohesive and consistent. You can do this with a simple search of your desired name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> You can also use a tool like namecheckr.com<\/a> to auto-check the platforms for you.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Edit Facebook Page Info<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please note: the following instructions are for a desktop computer, not mobile devices. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by switching to your Facebook business identity by clicking its icon in the top righthand menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, in that same top righthand menu, click “Settings & privacy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, click “Settings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, click “Page setup” in the lefthand menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Click the “>” next to your business name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, click “Edit” next to your business name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Edit Business Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply click on your business name to edit and make any changes, then submit. Make sure you review Facebook’s Page Name Guidelines<\/a> prior to changing your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, note that you can only change your business name once every 60 days<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Since my business name is all lowercase, I originally had to submit as “Simple sprout studio.” I resubmitted and was able to get the name in lowercase.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Edit Page Username<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to also change your Facebook page username, so you have a unique and easy-to-find URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the username right below your business name. Similar to the name, simply edit the username and submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait for approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may potentially need to wait for approval of your new business name; but in this case, my page name was approved in just a few seconds. This process is much quicker than it once was!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Facebook will notify anyone who currently likes your page that there was name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget all your branding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since you\u2019re rebranding, chances are that you’ll have new imagery, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to switch out profile images and cover photos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
