How to Create Vanity URLs on Facebook
Facebook has maintained its position as one of the most powerful social media platforms for marketers. When sharing links to Facebook, it will automatically pull in a preview. But, in case a preview doesn't appear or if you just want to encourage click-throughs and foster trust, make sure to leave the hyperlink in the post.
Facebook doesn't auto shorten links, though it will truncate them if they are too long. Instead of leaving things up to chance though, it's better to use a vanity URL to showcase your brand's name which can increase click-through rates by up to 39%.
