Hi, We’re unable to update your Page’s name because your request doesn’t follow our Page guidelines. The name you requested suggests that the subject of your Page has changed or may be misleading. This can be confusing for people who like your Page. Page name change requests that don’t meet our guidelines include changes that may be misleading (ex: renaming “I Love New York” to “I Love San Francisco”). Requests that meet our guidelines include removing descriptions from a Page’s name (ex: renaming “John Smith, Trainer” to “John Smith”). We understand that you might not know our Page guidelines, so we encourage you to learn more: https://www.facebook.com/page_guidelines.php/?ref=cr Thanks,

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The above quote is what we kept getting from Facebook when we wanted to change the legal business name of a Facebook page. That was followed by an Appeal button. Using the appeal process was not fruitful in any way and simply resulted in the same message being repeated back to us. It did not matter how many times or ways we worded our appeal, we always got the same cookie cutter response. It was quite frustrating, as we reviewed the guidelines over an over and were certain we were not breaking any rules nor misleading users with the name change.

After some research and trial and error, we finally figured out what will get you that name change that should never have been so difficult in the first place. It appears that Facebook expects you to gradually transition into your new name.  And to do so requires two separate phases of name change requests.

It appears that Facebook feels that simply changing your page name without all that nonsense would be horribly shocking to Facebook users. Perhaps there actually are some people out there that may be offended by suddenly seeing a new name on their favorite puppy shack page.  The big problem we have with this is not necessarily the process itself, but rather that Facebook does not provide any clear instruction about this process, the reasons for denial, or how to correct the problem.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]Here is a link (button) to our very own help article explaining how to actually get your Facebook page name request approved, how to start a request, and how to appeal a denial.  We tell you exactly what you have to do.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-long-arrow-down” color=”peacoc” size=”lg”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-long-arrow-down” color=”peacoc” size=”lg”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-long-arrow-down” color=”peacoc” size=”lg”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][dfd_button direction=”dfd-diagonal” button_text=”Change FB Page Name Approved!” alignment=”text-left” buttom_link_src=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.bluetera.com%2Fhow-to-facebook-page-name-request-approved%2F||target:%20_blank” icon_font=”fontawesome” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-arrow-right” background=”#2098cc” border=”border-style:solid;|border-width:1px;border-radius:2px;|border-color:#2098cc;” style=”style_3″ box_shadow=”horizontal:px|vertical:px|blur:px|spread:px|style:none|” hover_box_shadow=”horizontal:px|vertical:px|blur:px|spread:px|style:none|” hover_style_heading=”” main_heading=”” extra_heading=”” background_heading=”” tooltip_heading=”” border_heading=”” typography_heading=””][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]This button here will take you to the official Facebook page instructions for how to change your FB page name.  Note that it does not explain anything about page denials.  You must read our article with the link ABOVE for instructions to deal with and AVOID denials and appeals.[/vc_column_text][dfd_button direction=”dfd-diagonal” button_text=”Facebook.com Instructions” alignment=”text-left” buttom_link_src=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fhelp%2F1644118259243888%2F%3Fhelpref%3Dhc_fnav||target:%20_blank” icon_font=”fontawesome” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-arrow-right” background=”#919191″ border=”border-style:solid;|border-width:1px;border-radius:2px;|border-color:#919191;” style=”style_3″ box_shadow=”horizontal:px|vertical:px|blur:px|spread:px|style:none|” hover_box_shadow=”horizontal:px|vertical:px|blur:px|spread:px|style:none|”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
