Facebook Fan Page Name Question

[JesusD]

I know this is a silly question. But i cant find good advice on the topic anywhere. I have a company fan page with 3,500 fans.

However, there were some serious changes to the company name, and i dont want to start a new fan page, because of the current fans.

Any ideas on this topic?

Regards!

Wow Jesus has 3,500 Facebook fans? ... Sorry I had too

Are you worried about ranking factors in Google related to your name?

Or

Just the work in getting users to like your other page?

hahaha

Thanks for the response. I am not worried so much by either of them, i kinda like the momentum of interaction with our few fans, they are engaging and we´ve been getting a decent number of leads from the community.

I wish i could just change the name of the fan page, to something more in synch with the company recent changes.

I dont know if by deleting this account, I will lose them or it will build back but in a slow manner.

See fanpage here: (https://www.facebook.com/AceroMart)

Thanx for the comments!

You should (definitely) not delete the current account. Why loose all that fans?

Maybe you should consider to change name like "New Name (Formerly Old Name)" and after some time, maybe after a couple of month, remove old name.

How would change the fan page name within facebook?

Thanks in advance,

Also, there is a Username field too you can change.
