generic one).
Next, let’s change it to something useful like “Shop Now”.

“Add a button” (or “Edit button” if already added)
You’ll see different options like:

back to your Facebook page

on your page name or username area (or the settings where you can
edit username)

the name you want in your URL (e.g. PickNaturals)
- Click
“Create”
Now, refresh the visitor window and you’ll see the URL
has changed.
⚠️ Note: If you get an error
while changing the URL, it may be because your page has less than 25
followers.
Once you reach 25 followers, you’ll be able to change your page URL.

posting content.
