When you first create your page, Facebook automatically generates username and URL for your page, that is usually made up of random characters.

To change this, create a username that is concise and easy to recall– something you can share.  Your username will then become the page URL.

Use a combination of your name and numbers or acronyms if your name alone isn’t available.

For example, a Vermont based agency could use MyAgencyVT (state), MyAgencyBTV (airport abbreviation), or MyAgency802 (well known area code).

Doing this makes it easier for people to discover you and provides you with a URL address unique to your business.

EXAMPLE: Serving my clients and helping them navigate their financial futures is rewarding for me–I truly enjoy helping families and business owners navigate the road towards financial freedom. It’s my goal to establish lasting relationships with my clients and become a lifelong resource for each one of them. I have the tenacity for being a helping hand.
