Preparation for Meta Business Verification

To enhance the chances of your company's verification by Meta, ensure the following:

  • The company's website is operational, secured with SSL, and fully detailed, including the company's name, address, and phone number, which align with the information in the Business Manager.

  • The account's email should correspond to the domain of the company's website, especially if undergoing Domain Verification.

  • For verifying the phone number, it must be able to receive calls. If your number is set up with an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, it should be temporarily deactivated.

  • Additionally, the company's trade name presented in documents should match or be related to the names used on the website and Facebook page.

Upon submission, of the documentation, you'll receive email updates on the registered email address for verification progress.

Business Manager Verification Process

You can start the business verification process in Business settings by going to Security Centre. In Security Centre, you can see your business verification status.

  1. Go to Security Centre in Business Manager and click Start Verification.

  2. You will need to provide all your Business Details, including Name, Address, Phone Number, and Website. Ensure that this information matches the records in the MCA and the supporting documents. Once you've completed this step, click Next.

  1. Next, Facebook will generate a list of businesses that correspond to the information you entered. Select your business category from this list to proceed.

  2. You will then need to confirm the business details you wish to submit to Facebook. These details must align with the information in your supporting documents, which you will upload next. This information will also appear on your Facebook Business Profile once your verification is complete.

  3. Finally, submit a supporting document to verify your Legal Business Name. You can upload any acceptable documents, such as the Certificate of Incorporation, Business License, or Business Bank Account Statement. After uploading the document for verification on Facebook, click Next.

Make sure to select the correct language for the documents you are submitting; specifying the language accurately will help the reviewer verify them more easily.

  1. You will need to repeat the same process for verifying your Legal Business Address or Phone Number on Facebook. After uploading an acceptable document, click Next.

  2. Next, you will need to choose a Facebook verification method. You can opt to receive a verification code via call or email, or you can verify using your business's website domain.

If you choose to verify via email or phone call, ensure that you provide an email address or phone number that you can access. Using an email address associated with your website domain is recommended, as it may expedite the verification process.

  1. If you selected email verification, enter the code you received and click Submit.

You have now completed the application for business verification on Facebook!

Application Review Process on Facebook Business Manager

The review of your application by Facebook may take anywhere from 3 business days to 4 weeks. If your application is approved, you will receive a confirmation email, and you can also check the status of your application in the Security Center.

Please note that you may not receive confirmation immediately. If Facebook requires additional documentation, you will be notified and asked to respond to the support ticket to submit the necessary information.

Once your verification is completed, you will be eligible for unlimited messaging on BizMagnets.

It's important to understand that business verification is distinct from the verified badge (the Green Tick or Official Business Account) and offers different benefits.
