How to verify your Facebook Business account on Meta

Why should I verify my business on Facebook?

It's best practice to verify your business account on Meta for a couple of reasons:

1. It increases the amount of WhatsApp messages you can send in a 24 hr period. Verified accounts can send 10k and 100k+ messages per 24 hour period.
2. It increases your chances of getting your message templates approved.
3. Verified business are less likely to be reviewed or have issues with Facebook.

How to verify your business on Facebook

1. Go to Business Manager’s Security Center. Click Start verification.

2. Provide your business’s key details, including the legal business name, address, phone number and website. Note: Make sure the details you submit exactly match the details of your legal business entity. Also make sure your business’s website loads and is HTTPS compliant.

3. Confirm your business’s details. If no matching record is found, upload supporting documents, such as a business license or articles of incorporation, to confirm the details you entered.

4. Choose a method to confirm your connection. A confirmation code will be sent if you choose email, phone, text message or WhatsApp. To confirm via domain verification, follow these steps.

• Email (The domain of your business email address must match the domain of your website.)
• Phone
• Text message
• WhatsApp message

5. When you're finished, click Done.

Verification decision

After you submit your verification, Facebook can take as little as 10 minutes and as long as 14 business days to make a decision. You’ll receive a notification when the review is complete. If you receive confirmation that your business is verified, there’s nothing more you need to do.

You can edit your business details at any time. But any changes will require you to complete the business verification process again.

If you’re having trouble after submitting your verification, troubleshoot why your business can’t be verified.
