Click here.Your Facebook Group link or URL is one of its most visible parts after the About page, name and cover image, and it is also fully customizable. It is the only unique identifier for your group online (two groups can have the same name) and it can help you rank higher on Facebook’s search results.
In this article, we will talk about how to change your Facebook Group URL to a custom address and why you should do it.
Like any website or business online, you can name your group practically anything you’d like but your group’s URL needs to be unique.
That is why Facebook automatically assigns a numeric URL to each group when it is created, the same way it assigns a numerical URL to a new Facebook profile or page. This means that the last or the 3 parts of your group’s URL is the one you can customize.
After the numerical number is assigned, we strongly recommend that you go and edit this to create your group’s vanity URL. The case for customizing your URL is best understood with an example. Of the below two links, which would you be more likely to click on?

With the top URL, you know exactly what it is you’re clicking on as opposed to the second URL, which is a mess of numbers and could lead you to anything. The first URL is far easier to remember than the second, and the strength of the branding has a higher chance of empowering people to click through.
Why should you customize your Facebook Group URL? We recommend you do it because:
The URL acts as an additional element of your group that complements its name, cover image and description.
In brief, not customizing your URL can greatly limit your potential for growth.
By default, when you create a group, you will get a numeric identifier at the end of the generic Facebook URL that looks like this: www.facebook.com/groups/[numerical identifier].
In order to customize that, you need to go to your groups’ Settings and then scroll to Customize Group. The first option you will see is Web address also known as your Facebook Group vanity URL.
To customize your URL, click on the pencil icon under Web Address and type the URL you want for your group. If a URL is taken, it will show up in red as seen below. If a URL is available, you’ll get the green tick, and can hit Save to make the URL live:
Things to consider when changing your Facebook Group URLBefore you change your group’s URL, you should take a moment to think about it carefully for several reasons:

How often can I change my Facebook Group URL?
You can change it every 28 days but will not be able to do so after your group has 5,000 members.
Why should you create a custom Facebook Group URL?
Customizing your group’s URL makes it easier to remember and is useful when sharing it verbally or offline. It is also another signal that can help your group rank in search results on the platform and builds trust with your members versus the generic numerical address that Facebook assigns every new group. As a unique identifier for your group, it is also recommended that you claim the best URL for your type of group first so other groups created later on cannot capitalize on it. Two groups can have the same name but not the same URL.
How do I change my Facebook Group URL?
Go to your group’s Settings, scroll down to Customize Group then click on Website address and type the last part of your groups URL that will appear after www.

People often move to other countries and locations. This is a fairly common occurrence, due to study, a job change, or simply a desire for a change of scenery.
To quickly get used to a new region, find new friends and get up-to-date recommendations from Facebook, let's look at how to change the country of residence and city on the network. Among the functions of the platform is adding and editing the place where a person lived in different periods of time. nine0003
Procedure:
In addition to the country and city, you can optionally add a full postal address. Also available here are privacy settings and a choice of the circle of people who can view this data. nine0003
Whether to publish the actual address of the organization on the network - this decision is made only by the owner of the account.
To add an address, do the following:
Facebook has slightly different requirements for pages than for personal accounts. The reason is that the published content is viewed by a wider audience.
The contents of publications must not contradict the laws of those countries whose citizens can view them. That is why Facebook has special settings that limit views for a specific audience:

The required field is located in the page settings at the very bottom.
If this line is inactive, then changing the country in this account will not work. But there is a way out of this situation:
Important : Please note that the time zone and currency have nothing to do with the country you specified in the advertising campaign. In order for an ad to pass moderation, it is sometimes required that the specified currency be the same as the country where it will be broadcast. If the site administration detects a discrepancy, it will request confirmation of the identity of the account owner.
