Can a Fan Page Have its own Domain name?

6 replies
I wanted to know if you could have a domain name forward to a fan page.

For Example:

ezweightloss.com would lead to EZweightloss a Facebook fan page.

Also if this is possible could this Domain be SEO'd?
#domain #fan #page

    I don't see why you couldn't - you should probably ask facebook however

    You can redirect your domain to fanpage. But I dont think you can SEO'd it.

    You can have a vanity URL if it's not already taken.

    facebook.com/EZweightloss

    However you are on Facebook's platform, and they do want to brand themselves first. That's why their name's going to come before your name.

    You get a vanity URL here:

    Facebook.com/username

    1. Yes you can.

    2. You do not need Facebook's permission.

    3. Follow sadiecopywriter's advice.

    4. Domain-level redirects like this do nothing for SEO. If you want your facebook page to rank higher in Google, use the actual Facebook URL (after doing #3).

    5. If this is for a local business, use a 307 redirect if they are going to use their own domain.

    You can only create a username for your fan page. Like facebook.com/yourpage
    If you really want it to be custom, then just redirect a domain name to your facebook fan page. That wouldn't be a bad idea.
