How to get my Company Name on my Facebook page?

Without being very informed I added my company name as a user name to my personal FB account. Now when I go to facebook.com/companyname I see my personal name above the Wall - Info - Video - Links tabs.

I'd rather see the company name there. I can't change my name because under account settings it asks for a first and last name.

If I change the username (my company name) I don't think I'll be able to get my company name back to use on a new FB account.

And I'm pretty sure FB won't transfer the username to a new FB acount.

Any suggestions how can I have a page with MYCOMPANYNAME across the top instead on my personal name?

Thanks

    This is because you want to set up a Facebook PAGE for your company. Not a profile for private use. Pages are different in that other people can join them just by hitting the "like" button. Look for the link in Facebook that says "create a FB page".

    You might want to disable the personal profile first if you want to free up the facebook.com/companyname and just start yourself a new one with your real name on it.

    Otherwise, your company name is already taken, and once you have your 25 "likers", you won't be able to get it.

      however, how do you know for sure if I disbale my personal page, that my compnay name will then be available? It sounds right, but that doesn't mean it's true. Any documentation on that scenario?

    First off, yes a Facebook Fan is not the only way but it is by far the BEST way to promote your business on Facebook. You need 25 likes before you can get your custom url (visit facebook.com/username and simply select the correct page). Spend $25 and get a well designed custom Fan Page image (or (TRADE SECRET) visit Fiverr.com and get it for $5 ). Then get a FBML page created with a Autoresponder and Opt In Freeby to begin building your list. All of this can be outsourced for under $100. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask
