How to Copy a Facebook Business Page Link

Grabbing the unique link for your Facebook Business Page sounds simple, but menus can hide things in plain sight, leading to frustrating clicks. This guide clears up the confusion, showing you exactly how to find and copy your page link from any device - desktop or mobile. We'll also cover which type of link to use and how to put it to work for your brand.

Why Your Facebook Page Link Is a Marketing Goldmine

Your Facebook Page link is more than just a web address, it's a direct connection to your community, a shortcut for potential customers, and a powerful tool in your marketing arsenal. Before we get into the "how," let's quickly touch on the "why." Consistently sharing your page link helps build brand recognition, grow your audience, and drive traffic exactly where you want it to go.

Think of it as the digital version of your business card. You want to hand it out strategically to build connections. Here are a few places it absolutely needs to be:

• On your other social media profiles: Your Instagram bio, X (formerly Twitter) profile, and LinkedIn page should all point back to your Facebook presence.
• In your email signature: Every email you send is a chance to gain a new follower.
• On your website and blog: A "Follow us on Facebook" icon is good, but a direct link in your footer, contact page, or at the end of a blog post is even better.
• In marketing materials: Add it to brochures, flyers, or even create a QR code that points to it for your physical storefront.
• For collaborations and guest posts: When you partner with other businesses or write content for other sites, your page link is a key piece of information for your author bio.

The Tale of Two URLs: Which Link Should You Use?

Not all Facebook links are created equal. When you first create a Business Page, Facebook often assigns it a generic URL that includes the page name and a long string of numbers at the end. It looks something like this:

www.facebook.com/Your-Awesome-Business-109876543210987/

This link works, but it’s clumsy, forgettable, and doesn't exactly scream "professional."

The link you really want to share is your custom vanity URL, also known as your page’s username. It's clean, branded, and easy for people to remember and type. It looks like this:

www.facebook.com/YourAwesomeBusiness

Choosing your vanity URL is a one-time setup that makes a huge difference in how your brand is perceived. It reinforces your brand name and makes your link much easier to share verbally or on printed materials.

How to Set or Change Your Page Username (Vanity URL)

If your page is still using the clunky, numbered URL, you should set a custom username right away. It's a quick fix that pays off immediately.

Here’s how to do it on a desktop:

1. Navigate to your Facebook Business Page.
2. In the left-hand menu, click on "Settings."
3. Under the "General Page Settings" that load automatically, you'll see a row for "Username." Click "Edit."
4. Type in your desired username. Facebook will check if it's available. It should be as close to your business name as possible.
5. Once you find an available username, click "Save Changes."

Keep in mind that usernames must be unique and have some character limitations. Choosing one is a big step, so make sure it's the right one for your brand. Now, let’s get that link copied.

How to Copy Your Facebook Page Link: Step-by-Step

The process is slightly different depending on whether you're using a computer or your phone. We'll break down both.

On a Desktop or Laptop Browser

This is the most straightforward method. When you’re at a computer, you have direct access to the web address in your browser’s navigation bar.

1. Go to Your Page: Open your preferred web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and log in to Facebook. Navigate directly to the Business Page whose link you want to copy.
2. Locate the Address Bar: Look at the very top of your browser window. The address bar is where the URL is displayed - it will start with https://www.facebook.com/...
3. Click and Highlight: Click once inside the address bar. The full URL of your page should automatically highlight in blue.
4. Copy the Link: Now that it's highlighted, you can copy it. You can either right-click and select "Copy," or use the keyboard shortcut:
   • On a Windows PC: Ctrl + C
   • On a Mac: Command + C

And that’s it! The link is now copied to your clipboard, ready to be pasted into an email, a social media profile, a document, or anywhere else you need it.

On the Facebook Mobile App (iOS and Android)

Finding the link on your phone requires a couple of extra taps, as there isn't an obvious address bar inside the app itself. The steps are nearly identical for both iPhone and Android users.

1. Open the App and Go to Your Page: Launch the Facebook app. Tap your profile picture in the top-right (on the home feed screen) or bottom-right (more menu) corner to access your profiles, and select your Business Page to switch to it.
2. Find the “More” Options Menu: Once you're on your page, look for the three-dot menu symbol (...). It's usually located on the right side of the screen, underneath your page’s cover photo and next to buttons like "Manage" or "Promote."
3. Tap for Page Settings: Tapping the three dots will bring up a menu with a list of actions and settings related to your page.
4. Find and Copy Your Link: At the very bottom of this menu, you will see a heading that says "Your Page Link." Right below it is your unique URL. Next to the link is a button that says "Copy Link." Tap it.

A small notification, usually saying "Link to page copied," will appear on your screen. The URL is now on your phone's clipboard, ready to be pasted anywhere you need it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

It's a simple process, but a few things can trip people up. Here are some common slip-ups and how to fix them.

Mistake 1: Copying a Link to a Specific Post, Not the Page

It’s easy to accidentally copy the link to a single piece of content instead of your main page. If the URL you copied has extra text like /posts/, /videos/, or /photos/ in it, you've shared a deep link to content, not your page. Always double-check that you're on your page’s main Home tab before copying from a desktop browser.

Mistake 2: Sharing a Messy, Numbered URL

As mentioned before, a link like /Your-Business-123456789 doesn't look professional. It signals that the page is either brand new or that the owner hasn’t completed the branding process. Take the five minutes to set your vanity URL - it makes a difference!

Mistake 3: Your Link Doesn't Work For Others

If people report that your link leads to an error page, there are a few things to check:

• Is your page published? In your Page Settings, under "Page Visibility," make sure it is set to "Page Published." If it's unpublished, only admins can see it.
• Are there any restrictions? You can set age or country restrictions on a Facebook Page. If someone who doesn't meet those criteria tries to visit, they might see an error. If your business is for a general audience, make sure you don't have restrictive settings enabled by mistake.

Getting your hands on your Facebook Business Page link is straightforward when you know where to look. Using that clean, personalized vanity URL not only looks more professional but also makes it so much easier for followers and customers to find and connect with your brand across the web.
