Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms of all time. One reason for it being so popular is the ease with which you can share Facebook’s content. Facebook URLs are online links given to a particular page or profile on the site.

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?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/solofemaletravelers/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/198556510962482/
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:

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.

Active Facebook users very often have to post both inside and outside the social network various links to profiles of other users, to this or that content. If you need to do this within a social network, then there is a convenient “Share” function. If you need to place a mention of a Facebook user or content outside the social network, then you have to use links.
Therefore, let's talk about how to copy all possible links in the desktop version of Facebook and in the version for mobile devices. nine0003
Content:
If you prefer to work from a computer or laptop using a browser version, then finding and copying a link to any source is easy .
The main action in this case is to select the text in the address bar and copy it. nine0003
But it's important to know where that text is and how to get to the right link.
Any personal Facebook profile has an ID that belongs to him and only him. The personal profile address looks like this: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000*******6169. And in this address, ID is a combination of numbers after the “=” sign.
In order to find and copy a link to a user's Facebook profile, you must first log into the profile. This is done very simply: click on the avatar and on the username. If you need a link to your personal profile, then entering it is very simple: the avatar and your nickname are located in the upper left corner of the page. nine0003
To access a user's profile from your friend list, simply click on his photo in the publication, in the comments, or in the list of friends.
When you go to the profile, then copy the contents of the address bar of the browser.
And you will get a profile link that is pasted into an email or any other text.
The process of obtaining a link to a publication is in no way dependent on the nature of the content posted there. It can be text, photo or video. In any case, to receive a link, the publication must be opened in a separate window. nine0003
To do this:
Important! Facebook posts have "Save Post", "Save Link", "Save Video" options. These functions allow you to save the content that the user likes inside the social network, if you need, for example, to make a selection of interesting publications for yourself in order to either return to them or study them in detail in the future. But in order to get a link suitable for use on a third-party resource, these options are not suitable.

If you want to copy a link to a group or page on a social network for use outside of Facebook, then the sequence of actions is almost the same as when copying the address of a personal profile.
In particular, the actions are as follows:
If the task is to find and copy the address of a group on Facebook, then the sequence of actions is completely similar. That is, in order to get the coveted link, you must go to the group.

We want to understand the Facebook social network and find out how to make a link mention to a group or community.
This is a material with a methodology and a full description of , dependent page settings, which may cause difficulties. If you want a simple and quick example of mentioning the Facebook page in a post - use the illustrated example below .
Content
Mention to a facebook page or group in published content, as well as comments. Added with the character of the letter "a" in an open circle " @ ".
Difficulties you may encounter when adding a community link mention on Facebook . Let's look at a live example of how a link of this type is formed, like a mention to a facebook group:
In some cases, is possible to create a mention of , may not be - it depends on the page settings. If added restrictions in settings.
If this is your community you can check the settings yourself. To do this, you need:
Go to "Settings" page → General → Other people are tagging this Page.
These settings you can check the checkbox - enable or disable . Then save settings for the page.
Why is this important! For example, you are looking for how to link to a Facebook group or page. And you just can't do it! If this is not yours, the page and it has restrictive settings that prohibit leaving mentions! Naturally, no matter how much you try, do it. You won't get anything! nine0003
@ dog. @ at the beginning, you will see a drop-down list of groups and pages. Names of other pages may be the same as yours, so enter the name exactly! Full example of the text we are using;
Some text ... @informgram.ru
"The text of the publication, mention or link to the group can be added anywhere in the post!" nine0070
The result after adding the mention to the Facebook page will look like a link (with a blue mention background).
You can continue recording after you have made a link to the page (mention) in the text of the publication.
Do not confuse this is not a link to the site! This is the name of our Facebook page. If we wrote, just the URL of the site was a link to the site, but when you add special at the beginning. symbol @ is already a mention, a link to the page.
All groups have names , different they can be longer than , shorter than , have Russian letters and symbols .
For example , here in the same post we will make one more mention. For a mention that will later become a link, we will use the symbol @ and the page title in Russian.
This reference will be of the form: @Beautiful .
