What Facebook Domain Verification Does
Facebook domain verification:
Confirms ownership of a domain
Allows control over link previews and editing permissions
Is required for Meta Ads, iOS tracking, and some conversion events
Prevents unauthorized accounts from using your domain
Step 1: Copy the Facebook Meta Verification Tag
Log in to Facebook Business Manager
Go to Settings
Open Brand Safety
Click Domains
Add or select your domain
Choose Add a meta-tag to your HTML source code
Copy the full meta tag provided by Facebook
Example:
<meta name="facebook-domain-verification" content="abcxyz123" />
📌 You will need both:
The name
The content value
Step 2: Confirm the Default Page for the Domain in Kyrios
Go to Settings
Open Domains
Select the domain you want to verify
Click Edit Domain
Confirm a Default Page is selected
Facebook checks the default page only.
If no default page is set, verification will fail.
Step 3: Open the Page Builder for the Default Page
Navigate to the website or funnel that contains the default page
Open the page editor
Click Settings
Select SEO Metadata
Step 4: Add the Custom Meta Tag
In SEO Metadata, scroll to Links & Tags
Click + Add under Custom Meta Tags
Enter the values exactly as provided by Facebook:
Name
facebook-domain-verification
Content
abcxyz123
4. Click Add
Step 5: Save and Publish the Page
You must save in three places:
Save the custom meta tag
Save SEO Metadata
Click Publish in the page editor
If the page is not published, Facebook cannot detect the tag.
Step 6: Verify the Domain in Facebook Business Manager
Return to Facebook Business Manager
Go to Settings → Brand Safety → Domains
Select your domain
Click Verify Domain
Verification may take a few minutes (up to 72 hours in rare cases).

FAQ
What is the purpose of verifying my domain on Facebook?
Verifying your domain confirms ownership, allows control over link previews, and is required for Meta ads and tracking features.
Where do I get the Facebook meta verification tag?
Facebook provides it inside Business Manager → Brand Safety → Domains after you add a domain.
Can I verify a subdomain instead of a root domain?
No. Facebook only allows verification of root domains. Subdomains cannot be verified.
What if my root domain is hosted outside Kyrios?
Use Facebook’s DNS TXT record verification method through your domain registrar.
Does adding the meta tag affect my website visitors?
No. The meta tag is invisible and does not affect design, speed, or functionality.
Can multiple Facebook Business Managers use the same domain?
Only one Business Manager can own a domain, but it can share access with other accounts.
