This is true, I have over 1 million followers on FB and 500k on YT and they keep rejecting me verification on IG. Do you know if past media and press articles count, or do they have to be new ones? Because I have press articles from 2017 and 2019

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Oliver, I know of people who were verified with articles from maybe 1-2 years ago so the 2019 might be OK but I'm not sure about the 2017. Having 5 new pieces would be optimal. - C

[@Nayyshen]

Ive heard its on a 6month time frame I have several media articles But thats what ive been told.

[@Highseasonco]

@@Nayyshen 6 months sounds like it could be accurate. - C

[@rosasmari]

It doesn't matter the followers, the interaction or anything. The only thing that interests meta is that the person applying appears in relevant and important media.

[@Highseasonco]

Exactly, it's all about notability, that's the only factor they consider. I think I said the word "notable" like 27 times in this video to drive the point home. - C

[@rosasmari]

@@Highseasonco Thanks for confirming. Now I am more confident than ever that I will never be able to have it.

[@overlordprimex]

My blue check show when I send post from my profile to people DM but it’s not showing on my main page yet! Nice Video Thanks

[@Highseasonco]

That's odd - maybe reach out to IG Help to see if they can explain, it should just kick in right away. - C

[@ZhayynnJamesPhotography]

Thank you for this video! Subscribed! Question: I run 3 Instagram accounts (all with the same sign in), one related to my wildlife photography, one is my company's landscape architecture page and the other is a self-defence page. I have tried many times to have my wildlife photography page verified, given that I have had news articles and pages like National Geographic publish my work, but I haven't succeeded. Is this because I run multiple accounts? If so, how do i de-link my other accounts and run them individually? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, thanks for the sub! :) So the accounts being linked shouldn't have anything to do with it. You need 5 major press pieces, so if you've submitted those, all that suggests is that IG doesn't consider them notable enough to verify you. One option is to work with a publicist to generate some more press. Thanks for watching! - C

[@ZhayynnJamesPhotography]

@@Highseasonco Thank you so much for your swift and detailed reply. Much appreciated 🙂

[@_iliyana]

If I’m in a movie, does adding IMDb link help as well as movie reviews ?

[@Highseasonco]

Hi! Adding your IMDb link is definitely helpful when applying for notability verification, but I can't see movie reviews being particularly useful (unless maybe it's a huge, global platform and it was centred around you). - C

[@aodehodeh7045]

Thank you so much for the great video, is there any tool can check if my account is eligible for verification? the other question is what if I have PR coverage on daily local newspaper does that count or no? thank you so much

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Aodeh, so welcome, thanks for watching. There's no tool that we're aware of, but they want to see 5 links to major press in globally-recognized publications. The daily newspaper coverage miiiiight be helpful, it's tough to say, maybe if the other links are global it could be fine. You can apply as many times as you like, though, it doesn't hurt to get declined. Best of luck! - C

[@iammichaelstarks]

Great video. Keep up the great content 👏

Appreciate you, Michael! - C

[@manlikejpuffs9933]

Unrelated question but a good one. Does it make a difference to the algorithm if I add music on imstagram vs adding the music directly to my reels on the pc when editing the content?

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, it makes a huge difference, yes. Trending audio is one of the best ways to get reach, and if you only add music in editing on a computer, and if that music is popular, it'll get taken down anyway. Hope that helps - C

[@manlikejpuffs9933]

@@Highseasonco thanks for the speedy reply. I imagined so I was just praying because it would make life quicker if I could add audio then just schedule my reels 🤣

[@kaitlynhoppe2785]

I have New Zealand herald articles, was on a major Australian tv show with major magazines and articles, on a lot of radio too. I’m still not being verified - can you be banned from getting verified? Or is it something else I’ve done everything by the book for two years and grown my following organically.

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Kaitlyn, that'd odd, all of those pieces are what they want to see. Are all 5 of those links from major publications? Even links to the radio station's website with your segments/show on there should be helpful. Another option is to hire a publicist who specifically works with verification, maybe you could get a reference from the TV or radio folks. I hope it works out! - C

[@emmanueligboke886]

Hi just came across your video, is wikipedia a good source for instagram verification? I mean can I use that to proof my notability?

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Emmanuel, Wikipedia is helpful to submit for verification, but you'll need 4 more links to major press about you. - C

[@iiVERSEii]

I’m a Hip-Hop artist & influencer / digital creator, and I have about 7 press articles online (no major publication company), is applying for the blue check in one genre easier than the other?

[@Highseasonco]

The category doesn't matter. You can apply and see how you go, they typically only want major press (XXL, Complex, Rap Radar, Rolling Stone etc). - C

[@iiVERSEii]

@@Highseasonco hmm, so what are some major publications for influencers? Those ones all are for music for sure, but I never hear of the ones needed for other genres.. and thanks again fam!

[@Highseasonco]

@@iiVERSEii I don't believe any publication exists just to cover influencers. They want to see CNN, Forbes, Time, ESPN, etc. Something that when you're telling someone where you got coverage, you don't have to explain to what it is. Press only covers you if you're doing something notable, hence no specific influencer platforms. - C

[@iiVERSEii]

@@Highseasonco ahh ok I gotcha, sounds like a lot of money out of pocket soon then 😮‍💨 thank you 🙏🏽

[@LOKMANYU06]

Thanks for this video, it was really helpful. I am an esports athlete with plenty of press articles and I’m verified on Twitter + Facebook both. Instagram denied me a couple of times a few months ago. My question - Do articles from Redbull etc count? It’s not paid but I suppose IG counts it as “sponsored media”? Should I not put those? Also which category should I apply to? Gamer or Public figure? Would appreciate a reply at the earliest thanks!

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, you're welcome! So anything that could be considered "sponsored media" wouldn't count, no. The category doesn't really matter, go with what feels most accurate to what you do. You'll need 5 major press pieces about you and your work, in globally-recognized brands like Forbes, Time, CNN etc. If you don't have those, you'd need to work with a publicist to generate them. Hope that helps! - C

how to get verified on instagram wut links should we add if I don’t have any

[@Thetimingwizard]

I applied 2 times every other 30 days and I got press and articles written about me.But still not verified yet and I don't even see they rejecting it like You cannot be verified because of so and so reason. Don't know what's happening . Any insight on this.

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, when they reject an application, they don't provide a reason. Typically, it's almost always because the press links provided aren't major enough, as that's their key metric for determining notability. - C

[@Highseasonco]

@Blair Holmes My understanding is they recently changed it so that publications like those are considered major for music artists. So yes, include those pieces. - C

[@DeadNought]

Great information for those that wonder. It does make sense.

Thanks for watching! - C

[@AbsalonWhiteJr.]

I’ve had a live broadcast television appearance on PBS, I’ve been featured in yahoo twice, I’ve been featured in Black Enterprise, I’ve had my own panel at Comic-Con, etc. and even being featured in all those household names I still got denied verification. It almost feels like instagram is lying about being able to apply at this point. I don’t understand how I could get more “notable” than being featured in household names like PBS, and Yahoo.

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Absalon, that's an interesting situation, typically that should be enough. The only suggestion I'd have is to work with a publicist to generate some more press that's even larger (Forbes, Time, CNN etc). Best of luck - C

[@AbsalonWhiteJr.]

@@Highseasonco thank you for the reply! I thought PBS, Yahoo, Black Enterprise, and Comic-Con should be enough too, so we’re right in the same boat 🤣 I’ll keep trying to get even larger publications, so hopefully Instagram will take me seriously, and verify me one day!

Hi, no that doesn't help notability. - C

What else do i need?

Hi John, if you submitted all of those links already then it very likely doesn't qualify you. As I mentioned in the video, you need globally-recognized publications to get this over the line. - C

[@greatindiansaaslife]

What if I have appeared on Facebook’s official country page in an interview they did for a social impact project? We were a major tech contributor for the project. It’s been three days they haven’t rejected my verification request. Submitted all genuine articles about me in different media channels. Let’s see how this goes. I won’t be surprised if I’m rejected this time but this is the first time I’ve submitted their own official video to them in which I’m there as someone being interviewed 😂

[@Highseasonco]

They want to see 5 links of major press, and I imagine a link to their own content would be valuable. It would mostly depend on the other 4 links and the size of the publications. It takes up to 30 days to get a response. Good luck! - C

[@BOKHTARIMUSIC]

Are there free sites that would publish an article that Instagram recognizes?

[@Highseasonco]

It needs to be major, globally-recognized publications like Forbes, Time, CNN etc. The only way to get on those is via a publicist or via your work becoming so large that they cover you. - C

[@ChrisB1]

Would they accept a trademark document for my brand that proves I’m a registered brand/business?

Hi Chris, I believe that would help with ID but it doesn't count towards notability at all. For that, you'd still need the 5 major press pieces. - C

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, I've personally experienced that myself (being verified on FB but declined on IG), I don't really have an answer as it doesn't seem to be logical. Perhaps there's a different team for IG than there is for FB, and perhaps the bar is set higher for IG. - C

Hi:) I am a marketer of a brand and I am trying to get this blue button on our brand channel. We have more than 80k followers and some pr articles like Vogue, New York Times, Allure, etc. I thought it's enough to have a blue button but it still deny the request. What I am thinking is the taget country. We are a Korean brand, having more customers in US market. But actually we have more followers from other specific country that is not US because of the collab with mega influencer from that country. If the target country I worte is different with my followers country, does it actually matter?

Hi, the target country being different to where your followers are based shouldn't matter, I've never heard anything about that before. You could mention it in the part where you describe your followers to be transparent about why it's different, perhaps. Not sure if that'd help. All of those articles should count, that's what they want to see, so it's a little confusing. Another option is to hire a publicist who helps with this stuff, maybe they could get it over the line.

@@Highseasonco appreciate the reply just hard to find trust worthy people hence reason I put attention to you not having it how does one become a client ?

[@Highseasonco]

@@Antwangreat1 You can email us via the contact form on our website. We're only taking consulting clients right now, and we can't submit verification for you as you need major press pieces which you need a publicist for. - C

PEOPLE LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID......NOTABLE PEOPLE WITH A BRAND...90% OF YOU ARE NOT THAT AND 14$ BUCKS IS NOT GETTING YOU A BLUE CHECK...PLEASE STOP.THE SELECTIVE LISTENING...if you pay the 14$ you will get denied if you are a regular person.

Thank you for actually listening 👏 - C

@@Highseasonco No problem and great content btw..I am Blue checked but I am a Music producer that has worked with many important artist.I have freinds that paid that 14$ Bucks and didnt understand why Meta Denied them.And they Become insulted when you say, well you dont have a body of work thats makes you notable enough. Or a real brand.I think you should do a video on that alone explaining the requirements.

[@Highseasonco]

@@knos360 Appreciate you fr. I think that's it, a lot of folks are offended when they're told they don't have what IG wants, for some reason verification has become an obsession. I honestly thought the two videos we've done on this covered the requirements enough, but which areas do you think need more detail? Just the press side of things and what that means? - C

[@ameershahal]

You don't have blue tike 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Highseasonco]

We don't! Never claimed to have it :) We got our client verified, hence the original video. Thanks for watching - C

[@sharondagrandberry]

I have the weirdest thing going on with my account maybe you can answer it. I submitted the verification but received a non-verified message. Today I replied to someone in my AppStore and I saw the blue check by my name but I don’t see it on my profile. I asked a friend to message me on that store and the same thing happened. ????

[@Highseasonco]

Hi Sharonda, I've never seen anything like that before. Maybe it'll even out eventually, whichever way it goes. - C

[@sharondagrandberry]

@@Highseasonco thank you

[@bradscanvas]

It's been over 30 days, I never heard back from Instagram, I re-applied again... no notification. Nothing. Can't even message IG because they also never get back to you... Any ideas?

[@Highseasonco]

Hi there, there should always be a notification in your feed, that's pretty odd. There's no way to contact them about it, all you can do is to keep applying, or work with a publicist to help facilitate. - C

[@PeaceJemima]

I've been trying to get verified for 7 months now, I've made a few mistakes and I keep learning from them, yesterday I submitted with a tiktok link (my friend told me to, but my tiktok isn't verified), then later on today I found out that there's no use of using non verified social media accounts for the verification. I already have local articles from press that is notable, and used them. But yesterday instagram still hasn't told me their deicison, so today I resubmitted without the tikok, and just. used the notable articles. I know it's just once in 30 days but does it mean the 1st one this month will be cancelled or both of them? (the ig verification application)?? I hope you understand what I mean

[@Highseasonco]

Hi, you're correct that non-verified social links aren't helpful. They don't let you submit while you have a pending application so this must mean that your first one was declined. The second one should have gone through. Note that the articles they want to see can't typically be local, they need to be globally-recognized publications to count, so keep that in mind when applying. Best of luck! - C

[@PeaceJemima]

@@Highseasonco Yes I meant global ones but from Indonesia. Alright! Thank you so much for the confirmation and for making this video!

[@PeaceJemima]

I just got verified yesterday. Thank you guys so much for this helpful video!

[@azssongcovers1042]

how to get verified on instagram wut links should we add if I don’t have any

[@NewchannelA-]

@@PeaceJemima hey i requested for verification yesterday it lets me submit another verification though does this mean I was denied?

[@musicianremixes708]

I dont get it though, theres some singers with no press and they still get verified, ex: tevil bloom, DJ marv go hard

[@Highseasonco]

That could be due to their publicists who may have contacts at IG and go around the system. If you can find one of those publicists, then you may be able to pay them to help, but the free way is to just apply via the app with your links. - C

[@musicianremixes708]

@@Highseasonco ok thank you

[@cyeknox1322]

Some random person on instagram gave me 1000 fake followers because he thought I deserved them I said I don't want the but he still sent them should I keep them or do you think it would damage my growth I had like 300 followers to start with

[@Highseasonco]

It'd be optimal not to keep them as it'll damage your account in the long run, and if they won't take them back, you'll need to remove them manually. - C

Can i put my Link Facebook page and KZbin channel Link for Instagram verified?
