Anyone know what makes someone a Public Figure? I’ve heard media mentions where you or your company are mentioned but how many and what level? Any details of success stories?

All of that is easily found via Google. I would not take anyone’s DM that claims they can do this for you.
If you run a lot of FB/IG ads, you can reach out to your rep and see what they have to say. A $5 ad spend per month isn’t going to do it for you. You’re gonna need a few thousand per month.

If you are serious about needing the blue tick verification, there is a thread in level 2 that offers it.

You need to have a lot of stories about you from a trusted news sites and other high authority sites… Also a personal wikipedia page would be an extra plus
Not IG but a FB account I worked with tried to get a badge a while back. FB said they needed to get this and this many views over this amount of time over a period to get it.
A while back when I was working in a marketing department for a burger chain with 30+ restaurants we tried to get one and failed. The chain was registered trademark, got press releases and articles published about them in more than 50 newspapers, occasionally something in the news, working closely with services like Deliveroo and Groupon and still no luck.

Badge is also a way to authenticate a brand/company/account.
Maybe when there are no imposters or similar brands IG doesn’t feel the need to authenticate, selling/distributing through the app probably helps.
I know a few inside plugs.
The criteria varies from a minimum 5 media mentions for Facebook and a minimum 10 media mentions for Instagram.
Typical cost is $1800 $3000 depending on if we have to write and publish articles for you.
But even then Instagram may reject… Facebook is a bit more easier.
