Today at Meta\u2019s Conversations Conference in Mumbai, <a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2023\/09\/whatsapp-new-experiences-for-people-and-businesses\/\">Mark Zuckerberg announced<\/a> we will soon expand Meta Verified to businesses on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019ll start with a test in the coming weeks for businesses on Instagram and Facebook in select countries \u2013 and will expand to businesses on WhatsApp in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meta Verified is built to help businesses more easily stand out on our apps and build confidence with their customers, including letting their customers know they\u2019re chatting with the right business. Businesses can choose whether they\u2019d like to subscribe for one subscription on a single app, or a bundled subscription across Instagram and Facebook, and in the future WhatsApp. With a monthly subscription, businesses will gain access to a toolkit for their subscribed Facebook page, Instagram professional account or WhatsApp phone number that includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A verified badge confirming your business is validated and authentic\u00b9<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Proactive impersonation monitoring for added brand protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Access to support and help troubleshooting account issues\u00b2<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New ways to be discovered:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Instagram and Facebook, subscribers will be featured as a Meta Verified business,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> including appearing at or near the top of search results and as a recommended verified business to follow in feed.\u00b3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WhatsApp business subscribers will receive additional premium features including the ability to create a custom WhatsApp page that is easily discoverable via a web search, and multi-device with chat assignment support so multiple employees can respond to customers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Meta Verified business subscription complements the existing free and paid tools available to businesses on our apps today. We\u2019re starting with subscription features that help small businesses achieve what they want most on the platform: to establish their brand and be discovered by new customers. As we learn from initial testing, we\u2019ll continue to evolve our business offerings to add more value for businesses of all sizes, such as more tools for people to easily discover and engage with verified businesses on our apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meta Verified business subscriptions will be available for purchase on Instagram and Facebook in the coming weeks in select test countries.

We want businesses to feel confident their brands are protected on our apps, and people to feel confident the verified businesses they interact and message with are legitimate. As such, we\u2019ve built a multi-step verification process and various checks into Meta Verified before, during, and after a business subscribes. For Instagram and Facebook subscriptions:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Businesses must meet eligibility requirements, including minimum tenure of Business Account and selected Facebook page \/ Instagram account, minimum page\/account activity, and have 2Fac turned on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Business information must be validated and applicants must verify their connection to the business with methods such as phone number, email or domain verification.<sup>6<\/sup><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Subscriptions include proactive monitoring for business impersonation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn more about Meta Verified for businesses <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/business\/tools\/meta-verified-for-business?entry_point=blog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>1.
