Website & public presence
Meta trusts businesses it can find online. A live website (or strong public presence) helps verification succeed.
Ideal setup
- A live website on https://
- Company legal name visible (footer, About, Contact, Privacy Policy)
- Same address / phone as on documents when possible
- Working pages (not “under construction” or parked domain only)
Why this matters
If Meta cannot connect your documents to a real online presence, verification may stay Pending or go to manual review.
Domain verification (adding a meta tag or DNS record) is also easier when you control the website.
If you do not have a website yet
Options that still help:
- Publish a simple one-page site with legal name and contact details
- Use an established social / Google Business profile that clearly shows the same business name (weaker than a website, but better than nothing)
- Be ready with stronger official documents
Checklist before onboarding
- Website opens in a browser without errors
- Legal business name appears on the site
- Contact details look consistent with Meta forms
- You can receive email on that domain (recommended)
You are ready
When documents, email, phone, Meta admin access, and website are ready:
