Many people run a Facebook page to promote a cafe, celebrate a beloved topic or simply showcase snaps of a pet. But there may come a time when you want to tweak the name of your Facebook page. Doing so is a simple process, and we’ve outlined all the important steps below.
You may want to change your Facebook page name to correct a typo, or even just to give it a fresh new look. Either way, Facebook fortunately offers you the option to do so, although you can only make a tweak every 60 days.
It’s important to note that there are two types of Facebook pages: Classic pages and New pages. For Classic pages, you’ll need to be an admin to tweak the name, while if you’re using the New page experience, you’ll need Facebook access as task access won’t be enough.
