Finding something specific on Facebook can be a nightmare. For example, if I was to type in Taylor Swift into the search bar, I\u2019ll be confronted with hundreds, if not thousands of Taylor Swifts in the UK alone. Fortunately, I was able to find the pop star\u2019s page easily, thanks to the help of a little blue badge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When searching for a business on Facebook, a verified badge is often the easiest and most reliable way to check that the page you\u2019re viewing is authentic. As a public facing business, it\u2019s essential that you use a verified badge so that prospective customers can easily find you page and stay up to date with the information you\u2019re putting out. Without a verified badge, it can be difficult to trust whether a page is legitimate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the process for securing a verified badge is different for a business page than it is for a personal profile. Here, we\u2019ll take you through the steps to verify your Facebook page and explain why it\u2019s important for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Verify Your Facebook Page<\/b><\/p>\n

To get your page verified, you\u2019ll need to <\/span>fill out this form<\/span><\/a> to request a blue verification badge. As you\u2019ll be verifying a business page, you\u2019ll want to click \u2018Page\u2019 rather than \u2018Profile\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You\u2019ll then need to click the \u2018Select Page To Verify\u2019 drop down option and find your business page in the list. You\u2019ll need to be an admin of the page to submit this form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Since this is a business page, you\u2019ll need to attach some form of documentation such as a utility bill to prove it\u2019s a legitimate business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then, fill in the box explaining why the account should receive a blue badge and add in any other social media account URLs, as well as any additional comments you think would be helpful to the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re ready, click send and you\u2019ll be redirected to the following page, where you\u2019ll be able to track the status of your request.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Is It Important To Verify Your Facebook Business Page?<\/b><\/p>\n

A verified badge tells your customers that they can trust your page as the true, authentic presence of your brand. Additionally, it\u2019s often critical for differentiating your brand from other, similar terms that might make it tricky for users to find your page on Facebook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a few other major benefits to having a verified page, aside from increased visibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For one, Facebook\u2019s algorithm automatically places verified pages at the top of search results when somebody is searching for your business. This is especially important if your brand has additional groups on Facebook.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the verified badge will help surface your brand to the top of search results, you\u2019ll ideally increase followers and leads as a result from being verified. A major benefit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally a verified badge earns you early access to new Facebook features that arent yet available for all users. This can help you level-up on competitors who may not have the same access.<\/span><\/p>\n
