# How to change your Facebook Page category

By HeyMark · Updated October 26, 2026

Does your Facebook Page category no longer describe your business, or can’t you find the option you expected? On a computer, you can review the available categories and choose the closest fit. I’ll guide you through saving the change and checking your access if editing is unavailable.

## Before you change the category

You need **Facebook access** to switch into the Page and edit its information. **Task access does not let you update the category** on Facebook. [Read Facebook’s help about Page categories](https://www.facebook.com/help/222732947737668?locale=en_US&cms_platform=www).

Meta recommends choosing a specific category. The category appears below the Page name in search and may help people find what they’re looking for. Available features can also vary by category.

## Edit the category

1. Switch into the Page you want to use.
2. From the Page, click **About**.
3. In the left column, select **Category**, then click **Edit** next to that label.
4. Below **Category**, click the edit icon.
5. Start typing a category and select an option from the dropdown.
6. If no category describes your Page, choose the closest available option.
7. Click **Save**.

Meta says you can edit the category again as often as you need.

After saving, return to **About → Category** and check which option is selected. If you can’t see the controls, make sure you switched into the Page and have Facebook access; task access does not enable this route. The display name and username are separate settings, covered in [how to change your Page name](https://heymark.ai/en/solutions/change-facebook-page-name/) and the related username solution.
