What was impossible until now, or required too much effort and requests sent to Facebook, seems to be the new regular option. It seems that Facebook has allowed the name change of those fan pages that have more than 400 fans, which was not possible until now – at least not for the majority of users.
Intrigued by the fact that I received several notifications – notifications from various pages that there will be a name change soon, I also tried what I have been trying to do for a long time: to change the name of my Schneider Agency page (because I renamed the Schneider Agency to MarketingITD Agency). Nothing that I have sent to them so far has borne fruit, not even a translated permit – a solution from the APR, but it may be that something changes in that regard.
How did I change the name of a Facebook page that has more than 400 fans?
Simply, in the About tab you have the Page Info section (if Facebook is linguistically adapted to your language area, look for its equivalent in Croatian, Serbian, German…), and in it Page Name: simply click on Edit and type what you want. Note: it is not possible to name an already existing page. It didn’t work for me either marketingitd in marketing itdbecause as you know, we already have that page on Facebook 🙂 I had to be creative, so SK Marketing ITD was the solution.
You can see that the URL still contains sniper. agency address.
Almost immediately, I received a notification in the page’s inbox:
Because of this part where they say that it still has to go through some control, there is a possibility that they won’t approve the name change, to me or to you, but it’s worth a try.
I guess they don’t allow double names not only because of confusion, but also because you wouldn’t merged pages of the same name into one and so on wrong way to gain new fans.
One last thing to say: get ready for new ones magove fejsbuk marketinga who will create sites like Daily Dose (whatever), or with “funny” jokes and the like, and then sell them to their clients fans by the kilo, because it will be easy for them to turn 100-200 thousand fans of a page of one name into fans of another page in an hour. But, well, that has always been the case, in one way or another – but clients learn, sooner or later, that such nonsense is not worth giving money to. And happy hunting to the magicians 😉
Did you manage to change the name of the page even before this? How much will this option mean to you?
