These guidelines are: Stay authentic, Be unique, and Follow Instagram rules. If you&#8217;re new to Instagram, these tips will help you get started on your journey to the blue badge. Read on to discover how you can get your account verified and start posting relevant content. There are many options available, but if you&#8217;re still confused, here are some guidelines to follow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_core_guidelines\"><\/span>4 core guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re trying to figure out how to become verified on Instagram, you may wonder what the criteria are. Apparently, Instagram verifies accounts based on uniqueness and authenticity. For example, it doesn&#8217;t approve accounts that are only reposts of other accounts. Similarly, it doesn&#8217;t approve pages that are fan pages of famous people or clubs, or have extremely few or many followers. Also, your profile must be public and have at least 1,000 followers to be considered. Instagram also does not verify accounts that are linked to other social media platforms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_a_blue_badge\"><\/span>Getting a blue badge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting a blue badge on Instagram is a great way to boost your profile&#8217;s prestige. But how do you apply? First, you must have the right business document, such as a government ID with your name and date of birth. If you are a business, you must provide documentation, such as a utility bill or tax filings. If you are a personal user, you must provide the same documents as a business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Being_authentic\"><\/span>Being authentic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Being authentic on Instagram is an important part of growing a successful boutique. In this guide, social media manager Shannon Gordon discusses how to be authentic and stand out in a crowded platform. She also shares her tips for creating content and reels. Listen to her tips below! And don&#8217;t forget to check out the other articles on this topic, too! We&#8217;re going to be talking about the best practices for creating video content on Instagram in a minute.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Being_unique\"><\/span>Being unique<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to be unique on Instagram is to use a multi-grid collage to display your creativity. Rather than taking a simple photo and putting it into a jumbled mess, create a statement with your profile. By using your multi-grid collage, you will not only display your personality, but will also add a distinctive style to your profile. Here are a few ways to be unique on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Having_an_agency_or_publicist\"><\/span>Having an agency or publicist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting your brand verified on Instagram may seem overwhelming, but if you&#8217;re not sure where to start, there are a few things you can do to improve your chances. If you don&#8217;t have time to write and submit your own content, you can hire a PR agency or publicist to handle the process. An agency will be able to access the Media Partner Support tools on Facebook to help you submit a request. A publicist can then submit your application to Instagram using this tool. Once the verification team approves your request, you&#8217;ll be able to follow the steps to become verified on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Doing_more_than_one_account\"><\/span>Doing more than one account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Doing more than one Instagram account to become verified is not a good idea. There are some key differences between these methods. The first is the fact that you must only choose one account to apply for verification. It is also important to remember that this method only works if your account is linked to a website. If you want to be verified on more than one Instagram account, you should choose the one with the highest volume of posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_violating_Instagrams_guidelines\"><\/span>Avoiding violating Instagram&#8217;s guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best way to avoid violating Instagram&#8217;s guidelines to become verified is to make sure your account doesn&#8217;t get banned for any reason. Instagram will disable accounts that don&#8217;t follow its terms of service or engage with its users in an authentic manner. In addition, you should be careful not to engage in harassment and other types of abuse, since doing so can result in a temporary account ban. If you&#8217;re not sure what constitutes harassment on Instagram, here are some guidelines to follow:<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"264\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9QznvW9VPNg\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Become Verified on Instagram If you want to get your account verified on Instagram, you&#8217;ll want to follow a few core guidelines.
