Here are some tips. First of all, Facebook denies a large percentage of verification requests for business pages. The reason is that you need to provide a high resolution scan of an official seal or signature, or the complete business address. After you submit these documents, the website will take a few days to process the request. Lastly, the process may cost you a few bucks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_a_blue_verification_tag_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Getting a blue verification tag on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has two different ways to verify your account. If you own a business, for example, you can use a blue verification tag to increase the credibility of your business page. A blue verification tag indicates that the person or organization behind the page is real. Verified pages also do better in search results. The process of getting a blue verification tag varies slightly for each type of page, but the basic guidelines remain the same.<\/p>\n<p>Getting a blue verification tag on your Facebook account depends on a few factors, including the amount of activity and notability of your page. Generally, you need at least 500 friends to be verified, but you can also apply if you have a personal profile. You must insert a link to your website and a profile picture that matches your brand. Make sure to review your page as if it were a potential customer, and make any necessary changes.<\/p>\n<p>If you have not received your blue verification tag in 48 hours, it is time to contact Facebook&#8217;s support team and submit your request. Facebook can take as much as 345 days to approve your request, so keep an eye on your support inbox. If you don&#8217;t hear back within this time period, reapply in 30 days. If you have not yet received a response, consider it an opportunity to improve your page and attract more followers. While Facebook rarely keeps rejecting requests, it&#8217;s best to take this as a learning experience and move forward from there.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_getting_a_blue_verification_tag_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Benefits of getting a blue verification tag on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting a blue verification tag on your Facebook account has many benefits. It demonstrates that you are the owner of the account and provides security against imposters. However, you must be aware that just submitting a verification request does not guarantee you will get a blue tag. You will have to be consistent in your efforts, and you must have a large following to receive this benefit. Listed below are some other ways to increase your chances of getting a blue tag on your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not receive a blue verification tag on your Facebook account, you should not panic. Facebook is very strict about whom they verify, and it is not a good idea to apply for this tag if you are a dead page. It will also take a few days to process the application, so make sure you spend time improving your page and extending your follower base before applying again. After 30 days, you can try reapplying and getting a blue verification tag on your account. If you are still not able to get the blue tag, Facebook does not allow businesses to use the grey badges because they were confusing for users. Facebook is focusing on new ways to demonstrate their authenticity on the social network.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a business, getting a blue verification tag is an excellent idea for your Facebook page. It will validate your account and ensure that your followers know who they&#8217;re dealing with. Facebook will evaluate how active your account is, and if it is not updated regularly, they may be able to remove your verification tag. If you&#8217;re a business, getting a blue verification tag on your Facebook account means you have a legit and legitimate account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_of_getting_a_blue_verification_tag_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Cost of getting a blue verification tag on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to get a blue verification tag on Facebook account? There are a few requirements you need to meet. To become verified, you need to have a business or brand page and a full profile. You should also include a brand image that matches your Facebook page. You should review your Facebook page as if you&#8217;re a potential customer. If anything looks unprofessional, you need to edit it.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the type of business you are in, you may not be able to get verified right away. Facebook is very selective about who they will verify. It&#8217;s not easy to get verified if your page is dead or has no following. However, if you&#8217;re successful, you can always reapply. Once you&#8217;re denied, use the time to improve your profile and expand your following. Fortunately, rejections don&#8217;t last very long, so you can take advantage of them as a learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>To become verified, you&#8217;ll need to spend $50k or more a month on advertisements. Once you&#8217;ve done that, contact a Facebook Ad Account Representative. You can also submit a copy of your ID to Facebook, and they&#8217;ll use that to verify your identity. The whole process should take a few days, but it can take weeks. For businesses, getting verified is important for establishing a presence on Facebook. It allows potential customers to find you and do business with you.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"303\" width=\"542\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a54UxFosXNg\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Verify Facebook Account Want to get the blue verification tag on your Facebook account?
