In order to set the Facebook vanity url for your fan page, there are several things which need to be in place first.
• You need to be admin of the page in question
• It seems you also may need a verified account
• You need to know which name you want for that page. Because once you have set it, you can never change it.
Facebook lists the following restrictions:
•
o Create a username that is as close as possible to your public figure or business name (e.g. London carpet cleaning, Fred West carpet cleaning).
o If you own the rights to a given name, make it your username so that others cannot obtain it.
o Usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9).
o Choose a username you will be happy with for the long term. Usernames are not transferable.
o Your username must adhere to Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
Log in to Facebook and go to For choosing your pages url, visit

It will automatically suggest a name for you, but you can ignore that and write what you want in the box next to it.
Job done!!!!
Make sure you get it right as you can't change it afterwards.
