A Facebook page can offer your followers an easy way to find your contact information, products, recent projects, and more. But if you've recently changed the name of your business or brand, you'll want to make sure your Facebook page reflects that.

If you want to change your Facebook page name, there are a few stipulations and best practices you should keep in mind. For example, your name can't include variations of the word Facebook, and it can't be something too generic, like just "New York City."

Once you decide on a new moniker, here's how to make the change on the Facebook website and mobile app.
