How to Verify Facebook Page?

How to get the Gray Badge – being verified as a local business

For becoming verified as a local business, Facebook put some preconditions that you must fulfill. These conditions are:

Social Media Link Creation

• Your page must be classified as a local business, company, or organization
• Your page must have a profile photo
• Your page must have a cover photo

Once you have these three elements in place, you can then go ahead with the verification process to get the gray badge.

You get the option to verify in your page’s settings option.
So, begin by clicking on the “Settings” option at the top right of your page.

Then click “General” and “Page Verification.”

Click on the “Edit” or “Verify this page” listed against the Page Verification option. You then need to provide publicly listed a phone number for your business.

You also need to enter your country and your language. In case, if you do not possess a publicly listed number, you can also verify your page using documentation. Finally, click on “Call me now” to let Facebook send you a 4-digit verification code. You have to enter this code and you are done. Facebook lets you know within a few days when the verification is completed.

How to get the blue badge – being verified as a public figure, brand or celebrity

When compared with the gray badge, getting the blue badge can be a little trickier. As we have seen above, being verified as a local business is relatively straightforward. However, getting the blue badge involves more steps. Let’s see it for ourselves.

Many people are of the impression that Facebook automatically awards the Blue Badge on their own accord. While it is true that they often verify pages for well-known celebrities and brands automatically, there is also a manual way to apply for the blue badge.

Firstly, you have to make sure if Facebook considers your FB page eligible for verification. You need to go and “Request a Verified Badge Form” and check whether you have any eligible pages. Make sure you are logged in with your admin account.

If it shows that you are not eligible, there is no need to worry as you are not out of options yet. You can submit a manual verification request as a public figure, band, or an entertainer. Before you begin this process make sure to set these elements first:

• The page category must be set to “Public Figure.”
• You must include media references in the awards section of your page.
• Include your website URL
• Fill out all page information in detail
• You must regularly share content from your site on your Facebook page
• Purchasing some Facebook ads through your page is also recommended
• 
  

Once you have started this process and continued it for some time, go back to the “verification request form” and check whether your page has been deemed eligible.

If it hasn’t deemed eligible, then you have to use the Facebook Mentions App for manual page verification.
You need to download the App, enter your name, and select “My Page or profile isn’t verified.”
You will then be directed to a form where you need to carry out the following steps:

• Indicate that you are trying to verify your profile or page
• Select your page name
• Upload a photo of a government-issued ID
• Enter your site URL

Finally, click “Send, ” and you are done.
