You should be able to pick a vanity URL if you go into your basic information settings and go to Username. I would call it something that is descriptive of your business but as short as you can get. /Weight-Loss or /WeightLoss or something like that.
I would also recommend adding a cover photo.https://www.facebook.com/help/search/?q=cover+photo

hi this is one of my facebook page that i have done a while back http://www.facebook.com/pages/Weight-Loss/120509311333479 i have over 300 likes, does this mean i can have a vanity url and if so what should i call it and what could i do to improve the page.

thanks for all the info. Will start making a page.

You need 25 likes to change your vanity URL. Make sure you use the one you want because once you pick it you can't change it.
You also don't need to log out of your own Facebook to create a business page. You can create one that will be attached to your personal account and you can switch back and forth between the two. If you go to any business page (such as that Huffington Post page) there is a button in the top right area that says create a page and you can just follow directions from there.

One of the answers on this thread may help you too. http://www.seomoz.org/q/has-anyone-used-facebook-to-promote-their-website

You need a certain number of likes, I believe currently 100, to claim a vanity URL like the HuffPo has. And now you must pay to reach all of your page fans, only the most engaged will see your updates without paying facebook. However as mentioned by Collin creating the page itself is free.

Anyone can make Facebook business pages, and they are free of charge. If you log out of Facebook and look at the bottom of the page, there's a small link that says "Create a Page." You can click on that to get started. Good luck!

Is paid content a good or bad thing
Hi, over the past couple of years we have turned down thousands of request from companies to have paid editorial on our sites, I have always turned this down but i have seen some sites accept this and would like to know your stance on this. In newspapers and magazines which i have worked in both, they have paid editorial all the time, so i am just wondering what google thinks of paid editorial. look forward to hearing your thoughts

Should I put the date on a new content page to show users when it was written or updated?
I've been asked this question at work and not certain of the answer. Personally if I see an 'old' date in a meta description on Google I often scan for more recent articles. In other words it can act as a deterrent. We are a very big social networking site with a large content section. For some of our content the date might be relevant, such as legal information, but often it isn't. Are there any SEO factors in dating content?

Is putting introduction to new stories on the front page a good idea
Hi, i am trying to find out if i should be putting all the introduction to new stories on the front page of my magazine www.in2town.co.uk. I am not sure if to just put certain stories on the home page or if it would be better for seo reasons to put everything on the front page for the search engines to pick it up quickly. so for example, all health stories, all news stories and all lifestyle stories that have their own section, should i make sure that they all appear on the home page as an introduction. Or should i have them kept in their own section please do let me know

Changing Text on Pages
For one of my sites I'm in a situation where I have 6 main pages that are for lack of a better word "showcased," one of which being the homepage. The problem is that I am seeing pretty good traffic growth, but my conversions/sales are really weak, and I'm about 95% positive that this is because there is too much information on all of those pages --- each one has about 1500 words or so. The site architecture and link structure on the site is good as out of the couple of hundred pages on the site only 3 of them aren't indexed according to Google webmaster tools. What I want to do is rewrite the text on those six main pages with more of a sales type of feel and limit them to 500-700 words or so. This will have no impact on the link architecture whatsoever, but I'm a bit worried that it will have a negative impact on my continual traffic growth. Actually, I'm not as much concerned about the continual part as the steady new content stream should take care of it, but I would be very concerned if I lost the rankings that I have right now. Granted, those rankings aren't worth as much as they could be because conversions are down, so so it's kind of a catch-22. The question is, how dangerous is what I'm planning on doing? On a side note, my lack of conversions has nothing to do with my description or title tags that show up in the results as they are targeted properly and written for sales. The problem is that the pages, though rich in content, are a bit too rich in content and need to be fixed to work in unison with the descriptions and titles.
