Facebook is by far the largest and most significant social media platform in the world. It’s one of the world’s most valuable companies, and is considered one of the Big Four technology companies along with Amazon, Apple, and Google. So being verified on Facebook is very important to your business or brand. Its popularity has led to prominent media coverage for the company, including significant scrutiny over privacy and the psychological effects it has on users. The verified badge appears next to a Facebook page or account’s name in search and on the profile. It means Facebook has confirmed that an account is the authentic presence of the public figure, celebrity, or global brand it represents. Before you proceed to submit your verified badge request, you may want to refer to the common reasons why Facebook rejects verification requests.
