in this video you're going to learn how
to get your facebook business manager
account verified in just a few minutes
now even if the start verification
button is currently grayed out for you
and you're unable to start the process
don't worry this video will show you
exactly how to fix it this whole process
takes just a few minutes from start to
finish so let's dive straight in okay so
the first thing you want to do is like
this video if you find it helpful so it
really does help the channel if you tap
that like button it helps get this video
in front of more people to help them get
their business manager account verified
as well so i really do appreciate it but
seriously onto the first step which is
to go to the facebook business manager
once you're there you need to go to your
business manager settings so for me it's
down in the bottom left i've got my
business manager settings the button
that i can click if you're using the
business suite because i know some
people have been upgraded to that then
you just need to find how to access the
business settings from that screen so
for me i'm going to click on business
settings once you're in business
settings if you go down and click on
security center
you'll notice that business verification
is most likely grayed out so you'll have
either continue or start verification
and that process won't be enabled yet
but don't worry i'm about to show you
how to do that so what you need to do is
go back over to the menu on the left and
under accounts you need to click on apps
now what we're going to do is we're
going to add a new app now don't worry
if you've tried this in the past and the
method of creating an app hasn't worked
for you this is actually an updated way
of doing it so this should work even if
creating an app hasn't worked for you in
the past there's a few differences here
so click on create a new app id
and then we're going to choose games so
create a html5 game hosted on facebook
and click next
enter anything for the display name and
click create app
enter your password hit submit okay from
here you simply need to click on uh
setup under games i agree and click
confirm all right now we just need to
enter a few quick details for this game
all of this is dummy data we're not
going to enter anything real now the
other thing you might be worried about
here is that because we're entering
dummy data facebook might not like it
but what we're going to do is we'll do
this process and then we'll come back
we're going to actually delete this app
and remove it all so it's nice and clean
and there's nothing left in the
background so you don't need to worry
about that at all so come in here enter
something for the tagline enter your
name for the publisher if you want
choose a category and just choose
anything i just choose action
and then scroll down and we're just
going to hit save changes
okay the next step here is to go up to
your app settings and choose basic
and we're just going to enter a few more
details here so we need a privacy policy
url you can put in your actual privacy
policy or i just put in google in this
case
and then i just copy and paste that into
the user data deletion section here i'm
going to upload an app icon this can be
any image as long as it's 1024 by 1024
pixels i'll include a link in the
description below if you just want to
use the blank image that i use as well
in case that's helpful so click that
choose your file
i'm going to choose my nice blue square
icon here
and we've got an app icon now you can
see here my verification button is still
grayed out
so i'm just going to save these changes
again and now the next step is actually
to go over here to app review on the
left click that and click permissions
and features now what you'll notice here
if you scroll down a little bit some of
these features actually say only
available with business verification so
choose one of the features that say that
and click request
and then click continue now from here
all we need to do is go back to settings
basic
and if you scroll down there you can see
the start verification or in my case
complete verification button is actually
enabled so at this point you can
actually go and start to complete the
verification process that is the first
big hurdle complete so what we want to
do is click start verification or
complete verification click that button
and we're going to go and begin the
verification process this is pretty easy
so the first thing you want to do is
enter your business details that's the
first step enter the legal name of your
business it's really important here the
legal name you enter matches your
official business document so whatever
is on your certificate of formation or
your official business formation
documents must be entered exactly the
same here as the legal name of business
okay choose your country enter your
address so i'm just going to pop in an
example address here but again you
should put in your real address so the
address you enter here needs to match
exactly what's on your official business
documents
enter your business website and just hit
next so what facebook does now is
they've just searched some public
databases and they will try and find
your business so have a look through
this list if you can see your business
name with the correct address listed all
you need to do
is select that and click next if however
you don't see your business listed maybe
the name is there but the address is
incorrect or maybe it's not there at all
then you simply click none of these
match click next and if you've chosen
none of these match it's now going to
ask you to verify your business name so
you need to upload legal documents to
verify the name of your business in my
case i just use the certificate of
formation and that worked perfectly fine
but you can upload anything that's on
this list so upload the document click
next on that next screen you'll just
need to verify your business address or
phone number i chose phone number
because it was quick and easy and then
after that you just need to choose a
verification method go through that
final step and then what's going to
happen is you will submit your
application for verification and usually
within three days facebook are going to
approve that for you but if it's not
approved within three days don't panic
just wait they will get back to you
sometimes it does take a little longer
the other thing i'll mention here is
this only works for incorporated
businesses it doesn't work for sole
traders or individuals so you do need to
have a registered company if you're
going to register your business manager
there's something important to note
there so once you've got your business
officially verified the last thing to do
is just to go back and clean up that app
that we created as part of the process
so all you need to do is go back over to
the app screen here
the other way to access that is from the
business settings menu go to apps
select your app here and click open in
app dashboard it's going to bring you
back to that apps screen
now to delete the app you just go to
settings
advanced
scroll down
at the very bottom it's got remove app
so you can click remove app hit remove
and that will officially delete the app
once you enter your password and submit
it but just remember make sure you are
verified before you go back and delete
the app now if this video is helped all
