Why our Page is not verified {Case study}

Many people started asking why our page is not verified yet. Here is the reason we noticed.

Facebook is currently verifying Facebook pages of celebrities and media. They are not accepting any business and blog pages. We submitted our official Facebook page to get verified but our request is rejected. We received an email from Facebook after 3 days of submission saying “Page is not eligible for verification at this time” and they are not disclosing the requirements for this time.

Hope they release the requirements for a page to get verified and also hope they start verifying blog pages later.

Let me know if you have any other trick to verify Facebook page. Did your page get verified? if verified, comment your page link, we can have a look and estimate the requirements.
