When tagging a Facebook page using a URL that ends with profile.php, Facebook will not accept the tag.

This happens because Facebook identifies these URLs as personal profiles rather than business pages.

This article will cover:

Creating a Username

Follow these steps to create a username for your Facebook page:

  1. Go to your Facebook page.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Select General.

  4. Click Edit

  5. Enter a username for your page.

Tips and Tricks

  • Your username must be unique.

  • Your username can only contain alphanumeric characters (A–Z, 0–9) and periods (".").
