Getting a verification badge, is not only cool, but comes with great advantages. Verified badges are effectively a signpost for social media users that certain accounts are authentic, no bots, fake accounts, meme accounts, or even fan accounts are eligible. If an account has the verified badge, it has bee confirmed that it represents who it says it does.
More Advantages of a Verification Badge
- It adds credibility, and this can be key if you’re sharing important research, news, or articles.
- Since verified accounts appear at the top of searches, it helps you stand out in search results.
- Verification assists with impersonation issues. For example, Instagram won’t verify more than one instance of a person or brand, so you can trust that the one that is verified is the real account.
- Verified accounts get higher engagement rates.
If you opt to go the Meta Verified subscription route, you can expect some extra benefits, per Instagram:
- Account protection. Get added protection from impersonation with proactive account monitoring.
- Customer support. Access support for subscription and account issues.
- Exclusive features. Get exclusive stickers on Stories and Reels.
- Get featured in the ‘Meta Verified’ feed. In October 2023, Instagram shared they were testing the ability to view only the content of Meta Verified people in your main feed, per the mock-up below.
