Verifying Your Facebook Business Page

Back in May, Facebook made some updates to it branded content rules, which has led to the important of verifying your business or personal page. By verifying your Facebook page, you’re letting people, especially potential customers, that your profile is authentic and legitimate.

  • Gray Badges prove that the profile has been verified by a business.
