HowTo: Verify a site on Facebook (D7, D8, D9)

This provides an overview for adding Facebook site verification metadata to your site using the Metatag module.

Step 0

In order for these steps to work the "Metatag: Verification" module must be enabled.

Step 1

Get a verification key for your Drupal site from the Facebook Domain Verification site. Copy it to the window of an open text editor. It should look something like this:

<meta name="facebook-domain-verification" content="SOMESTRINGGOESHERE" />

The important part is the value of the "content" attribute, so remove the rest of the string so it looks like the following:

SOMESTRINGGOESHERE

Step 2

Make sure the Metatag: Verification module is enabled, it comes with the main Metatag module.

Step 3

The the admin menu go to Configuration > Search and Metadata > Metatag

Across from the Global item open the Override or Edit link, as is appropriate.

Click to expand the Site Verification section.

Copy and paste the verification key from step 1 into the "Facebook" field.

Click the Save button.

Step 4

The metatag should be added to all pages and should look like this

<meta name="facebook-domain-verification" content="SOMESTRINGGOESHERE" />

Step 5

Visit the Facebook Webmaster entry for your site, and click the "Check" button to verify it's working.
