Meta also expanded its verification service to businesses on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
The expansion, it said, will allow businesses to gain access to a “toolkit” that included business authentication with a verified badge, impersonation protection, account support, and features to help businesses stand out.
The monthly subscription for Meta Verified business accounts starts at $21.99/month per Facebook page or Instagram account, or $34.99/month for both.
