It has to be at least five characters long. You cannot use any special characters, but only numbers, letters and the dot (.)<\/p>\n<p>One more thing to keep in mind. As Facebook group URLs have to be unique, you cannot specify a customized URL that is already used by another FB group.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are facing any kind of issue with changing the web address of your Facebook group, check out these limitations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_choose_a_good_custom_URL_for_your_Facebook_Group\"><\/span>How to choose a good custom URL for your Facebook Group?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some good rules to keep in mind when you choose a custom URL for your Facebook group.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>keep it short<\/li>\n<li>come up with an easily memorable name<\/li>\n<li>if it is possible, avoid numbers<\/li>\n<li>if it is possible, avoid the dot character as well<\/li>\n<li>if it is possible, the url should be the same as the name of your group.
