When you create a new Skool community, you naturally use the name you think it will have.
Seems normal.
But here’s the thing.
You will probably change the name.
Almost everyone does!
The problem? Your URL doesn’t change!
You might rebrand your community to “The Pink Panther”, but your link stays stuck as
So here’s my tip (I recorded a video below to show you how it works):
- When creating a new community, use a simple three-digit number as the name (e.g. "123").
- Your URL gets automatically assigned as skool.com/123-xxxx.
- Right after, change the community name to your actual brand.
Skool already assigns numbers in your community link after the “ - ” anyway, so you’re not doing anything strange here.
This keeps your link flexible and future-proof.
Then, when you’re truly ready, you can upgrade to Pro and choose a custom domain that looks cleaner with no numbers at all, like skool.com/ops. But don’t rush that step.
Let me know what you think about it!
