Perfection Consulting serves as the social media publicist for many of our clients.  We set up, design, and maintain numerous social networking profiles for them, and help them to engage online with their customer base.  We have several Facebook accounts that we manage, and we are pleased to announce that Perfection Consulting was able to secure the first choice username for all of our clients.

We were up working late when Facebook launched their new username feature at midnight Eastern time last night to ensure that our clients’ branding was protected.  It was assumed that there would be a rush on usernames, and that definitely was the case.  As of last reports, an astounding 3+ million Facebook usernames have been claimed already.

Facebook Fan Pages

Many users were dissappointed to discover that fan pages are currently unable to choose a “vanity” url unless they have at least 1,000 fans.  If you are short of this number, Perfection Consulting can help.  By utlizing our online marketing services, we can assist you in increasing your fans so that you can secure your Facebook username as soon as possible.

Why is it important to have a custom fan page url?  It’s great for SEO purposes.  By having your company name in the domain, you greatly increase your exposure/ranking for search engine results.  Also, having a “vanity” url instead of the default long, numerical address is much easier to share and more likely to be remembered.  Bottomline, it’s an effective way to strengthen your company’s online presence, and Perfection Consulting can help you get the most out of this new Facebook feature.  Feel free to contact us for more information.

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites in the world and has become a powerful marketing tool for businesses.  Until now, the url for a user’s profile page has consisted of a long string of numbers – an address that’s difficult to share and not easily identifiable.  However, starting at midnight Eastern time tonight, Facebook users will be able to select their own usernames, which will be featured in their new “vanity” Facebook url.

For businesses on Facebook this means that you’ll now be easier to find via web searches, etc.  Time will tell for just how much of an impact this will have on increasing exposure for your business, but it appears to be a promosing move for more effective social media marketing.

Usernames are being assigned on a first come first serve basis, and a rush on signups is expected.  Therefore, if you’re planning on choosing a name that is popular, you will want to try to secure it as soon as possible.  Perfection Consulting has several clients whose Facebook profiles we manage, and we’ll be working late tonight to ensure that we’re able to get their new usernames secured.
