what is Facebook Business Verification

Facebook Business Verification is a process by which Facebook confirms that a Facebook Page or account represents a legitimate business or organization. It helps to build trust and credibility for that business on the Facebook platform.

Some key points about Facebook Business Verification:

1. It adds a gray verified badge next to the Page's name, similar to the blue verified badges for celebrities and public figures.
2. To get verified, a business has to be operational and have a publicly listed phone number, email, website and physical address associated with the business.
3. The verification process involves submitting documents that prove the business is legitimate, such as a phone bill, utility bill, business license or tax documents.
4. Verified Pages get some added credibility and distribution advantages from Facebook, such as showing up higher in some search results.
5. It helps prevent fraud and impersonation by validating that the Page legitimately represents the real-world business.
6. Both larger brands/companies and small local businesses can apply for verification.

So in summary, it's a way for real businesses to authenticate their official presence on Facebook and stand out from potential impersonators or unverified Pages. Having that verified badge signals trustworthiness to potential customers.

Step 1: Access Your Business Manager

Begin by opening your web browser and navigating to https://business.facebook.com/select. This page will prompt you to select your business manager. It's important to note that this step is necessary only if you manage multiple business managers. If that's not the case for you, head directly to https://business.facebook.com/settings instead.

Step 2: Navigate to the Meta Business Home

Once you select your business manager, you'll be redirected to the Meta Business Home. Look for the three horizontal lines at the top of the page, click on them, and select "Business Settings."

‍

Step 3: The Security Center

Within Business Settings, scroll down until you find the "Security Center." Here, you might encounter a message stating "ineligible for verification," or you might not see any verification option at all. This is where the magic begins.

‍

‍

Step 4: Adding an App

In the left-hand menu, click on "Accounts" and then select "Apps." Here, you'll see an option to "Add." Click on it. Next, hover over the small lock icon and choose "Confirm account."

‍

Step 5: Verification Process

The system will now prompt you to verify your phone number. Select your country, enter your phone number, and wait for the Time Password (OTP) to arrive. Once you receive it, confirm your number. Following this, you'll be asked to verify your email address. Check the appropriate box, click on "Confirm email," and complete the necessary steps for email verification. 

Finally, select "Owner and Founder" and click on "Complete Registration."

‍

Step 6: Creating Your App

After completing the registration, you'll see a "Create App" button. Click on it, select "Other," and then click "Next." Choose "Business" as the category and click "Next" again. You'll be asked to provide a name for your app. After naming your app, click "Create," enter your password when prompted, and submit.

‍

Step 7: Starting the Verification

Post-creation, you'll be directed to the Facebook Developer page. From there, navigate to "App Settings" in the left menu, click on "Basic," and scroll down to the "Verification" subsection.

Here, you'll find the "Start Verification" button. Clicking on this will allow you to choose your business manager. Select it, click "Select and Verify Later," and after a brief refresh, click "Start Verification" again.
