A common concern among publishers, especially in today’s increased focus on fake news and manipulated distribution of information, is content protection. That’s why Facebook offers domain verification, a claim of domain ownership through Business Manager. By verifying your domain, you can edit posts with links that include your domain. This verification decreases the likelihood that others will use your domain to spread misinformation.
