Viewers are also more likely to check out a verified channel and subscribe to it. Although these effects are very minimal so don\u2019t expect any kind of dramatic impact.<\/li>\n<li>The YouTube verification badge looks cool and nice, your channel looks more branded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>However, keep in mind that just because you have the YouTube verified badge, you won\u2019t get more views or more subscribers, YouTube won\u2019t give you any kind of boost in the algorithm just because your YouTube channel has been verified.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cant_get_verified_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Can\u2019t get verified on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you can\u2019t verify your YouTube channel, here are the most common issues that can prevent you from getting verified on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>First, if you want to verify your YouTube account, you should be able to do that even if you don\u2019t have 100,000 subscribers. That is completely different from getting verified on YouTube for getting the verification badge. Check out the tutorial if you are interested in that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/verify-youtube-account\/\">How to verify a YouTube account?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, if you want to get verified on YouTube, in 99% of the cases you have to have at least 100,000 subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>There are other eligibility requirements that if you don\u2019t meet, you can\u2019t get verified on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>So you won\u2019t get the verification badge on YouTube:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if your YouTube channel is not authentic<\/li>\n<li>if the YouTube channel hasn\u2019t been active in the last couple of months.<\/li>\n<li>if you deleted all your YouTube videos from the channel<\/li>\n<li>your YouTube channel is not authentic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you meet all of these requirements, make sure you are signed in to Google with the YouTube channel you want to get verified.
