Next steps after editing the Facebook page name

After you have changed the Facebook page name, you should also change other elements of your Facebook business page that are related to your page name, so you can change your complete Facebook brand identity.

Other things that we would suggest to change:

• we would also change the Facebook page URL
• we would also change the username of your Facebook page
• change the profile picture if your Facebook page name was included somewhere in the Facebook profile picture
• change your Facebook cover photo

If the change in your Facebook page name is not just a minor change in a name then we would definitely encourage you to communicate that with your Facebook page fans and followers.

In a separate Facebook post, you would explain why you decided to change the Facebook page name and what kind of other changes they should expect in terms of content or if everything stays the same.

Alternatives to changing the Facebook business page name

As we said, changing your Facebook page name is not the only way how you can handle issues with your Facebook page. If you don’t have a lot of followers and fans then you can also permanently delete a Facebook page or unpublish the Facebook page, so it won’t be visible for the public.
