How to verify (Blue Mark) the Facebook Business Page

Getting a Blue mark on Facebook is quite a big thing. It means that Facebook has verified you as a genuine celebrity or business with a Facebook page. It’s not a badge that anyone or everyone can have. There is a criterion that one needs to fulfill in order to qualify for this Blue mark.

Does that Blue badge also attract you? Well, it gives a classy look to any page, while making you look authentic to people. So, how do you get it? First, you need to file a request to Facebook for getting that badge. It is a simple process to request Facebook for the blue badge but getting it is an entirely different thing. Facebook will verify every detail you provide and only after satisfaction, they will provide you that badge.

Let’s understand what criteria one needs to fulfill to even qualify for that blue badge. Even some big models/celebrities or business pages fail to get verified because there is no algorithm to get it done. Facebook will verify everything and then only one gets that Blue mark everyone is eager to get. So, if you are also looking to get verified on Facebook and get that Blue badge but don’t know where to begin, then we are here to help you.

Requirements to apply for a verified Blue badge:

Facebook will look at several factors to evaluate your page to determine if you fulfill all its verification criteria. Some other things also qualify as a requirement for getting verified.

• Authenticity:

Your page must be authentic and represent a person, business, or entity.

• Unique:

The Page should be Unique for a business or a person as Facebook only verifies one account per business/person. Although, there are a few exceptions available for language-specified accounts.

• Information:

Your page must have all the information about the business, the about me section, a clear profile picture, and at least one post.

• Remarkable:

Your page must be notable and representing a well-known business that people are already searching for. Facebook will look for any news article about your business to evaluate your importance. So, it will be a plus point if your business is already in news but not by paid promotions or advertisements.

If you fulfill this criterion, only then you should apply for getting verified, or else it’s just wasting time. So if you fulfill this criterion, then let’s see how to request Facebook for this Blue Badge or getting verified.
