How To Get Verified On Instagram

You have seen profiles with blue badge after username and thought how good it looks. Admit it!

Instagram verification is instant validation, ready to promote a business or group to new heights. It says, “Hey look at me, I’m important.”

The question is, how do you get Instagram verified?

So you see that all celebs have it and ask yourself do I need to be Kanye West to get verified or to be popular like Kardashians? Well, the answer is…maybe not. But you need to meet a lot of requirements to get one. If you come across on people in various groups claiming they can help you get it for thousand bucks, cross that option. Some of them are fakes trying to rip you of and the other half of them will really get you the badge but that want last long. The badge will disappear after some time and you are risking getting your account banned. So please ba aware of that.

1. Meet the eligibility requirements

Instagram shares its verification requirements clearly on their website. There are four criteria Instagram uses to determine the public interest before verifying an Instagram account:

• Authentic: Is your account for a real person or legal business?
• Unique: Is the Instagram account unique to that person or business? For example, you build an online presence around yourself instead of a fan page around a celebrity. So only one Taylor Swift account could be verified, but there could be multiple Taylor Swift fan pages but they won’t get verified. Keep in mind that if you’ve built a fan page around animals, makeup tutorials or some other niche, your page will not be eligible for Instagram verification.
• Complete: Have you filled out all the sections in Your Profile? Did you make your profile public? Instagram users who prefer having their accounts private aren’t eligible to verify their Instagram accounts.
• Notable: Are you well-known? Do you show up in search results? Do you have a big following online? Does your website get a lot of traffic? Instagram only verifies accounts of people that are of interest to the public, so global brands and internationally-known public figures are more likely to have their Instagram verified.

2. Build a massive audience

Before you apply to get your Instagram verified, make sure you build a massive following.

How can you get more followers? Create and share content several times a day. Emulate the best-performing content for people in your niche. Join engagement groups to get people actively following your brand. Use the best Instagram hashtags.

3. Check verified Instagram accounts

In your niche, look through accounts that are verified. What do they have in common? Say you want to get verified as a fashionista. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself:

• Do verified fashion influencers have their own blogs?
• How many followers do they have across all social platforms?
• How often do they post on Instagram?
• What style of content do they share?
• What’s their website’s Alexa ranking?
• What’s their most popular post?
