Have you ever created a Facebook page with a catchy name, only to realize later that it no longer matches your brand or business? Maybe you’ve rebranded, expanded your services, or simply thought of a better name that aligns more closely with your brand.
I remember when I first created my business page, I chose a name that felt perfect at the time. But as my business grew and evolved, that name no longer represented what my brand had become.
I knew it was time for a change, but I had no idea where to start. If you’re in the same situation, don’t worry, changing your Facebook page name is easier than you might think.

If changing your page name didn’t work
If changing your page name didn’t work, here are a few possible reasons for that:
- Wait Time: It might not have been long enough. Facebook usually takes about three business days to review and apply page name changes.
- Policy Issues: Your page might be flagged for not following Facebook’s page policies. This could be due to not following changing naming rules or using spamming tactics to get likes. If Facebook suspects any issues, they might suspend your page, preventing you from editing the name.
- Number of Likes: If your page has more than 200 likes, only an admin can change the page name. If there are fewer than 200 likes, you might be able to change it without admin privileges.
- Page Limits: There could be limits on your page, such as recent name change attempts or suspicions of unusual activity.
If none of these reasons apply, contact Meta’s support team for help.
