How to change your Facebook Page category

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.

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 and the related username solution.
