If you find yourself telling people to go to Facebook and “search for our name” then the chances are you haven’t.

Every page is given a url by Facebook and it has lots of letters and number and isn’t something you could easily share. Our Facebook web address is www.facebook.com/themarketingcrowd  . Very easy to put that on a press advert, or a poster – or any other marketing material. It’s impossible to put the big long web address that Facebook automatically generates for your page.

In this video Evan will show you how to generate a custom url for your business page – one that looks like www.facebook.com/yourbusinessname
