- Your Page doesn’t have age or country restrictions.

- You’ve added basic info to the About section of your Page.
How do I know if my Facebook business page is published?
Go to Facebook and click on Pages in the navigation bar on the left hand side of the page. Select the Page you want to confirm is published. Scroll down on the navigation bar and click on Settings. Check the Page Visibility to ensure that your Page is published.
Why is my Facebook business page disabled?
Sometimes, we take down or place limits on Pages if they don’t follow our Community Standards. For example, Pages that publish spam may be unpublished or deactivated, or the Like button may be disabled on Pages that we determine deceptively get likes.
Can I separate my business page from my personal account on Facebook?
Yes. Your personal Facebook account and Facebook Business Page aren’t connected on Facebook, and won’t be publicly listed on each other. You need a personal account to create and manage a Facebook Business Page, but you could always create a separate personal profile with your work email address if desired.
How long do you have to reactivate a Facebook account?
If it’s been less than 30 days since you initiated the deletion, you can cancel your account deletion. After 30 days, your account and all your information will be permanently deleted, and you won’t be able to retrieve your information.
How long does it take for a Facebook business page to be approved?
Verification decision
After you submit your verification, a decision can be made in as little as 10 minutes and as long as 14 business days. You’ll receive a notification when the review is complete. If you receive confirmation that your business is verified, there’s nothing more you need to do.
