Facebook Gray Badges Will Be Removed October 29

Facebook is rolling out notice to page owners that the Gray Badges will be removed on October 29, 2019. What will be the effect of this to facebook pages?

Facebook’s gray verified pages are for small businesses to prove that their Page is authentic while the Facebook’s blue verified badges are for public figures, media companies and brands. Now that the gray badges are being removed from the platform, page owners needs to put more effort to prove the authenticity of their pages. This might affect page search rank in facebook search, I’m not sure… Hopefully there will be other alternative to this in the future. For now, let’s keep updating posts and increase user engagement.
