# Section 1: Why verify ownership of your Domain?

By claiming ownership and verifying your domain on Facebook you can edit the information presented when posting a website link. With this you will be able to edit image, text and description. 

This ownership also allows you to **control editing privileges** of your links and other content, which **prevents misuse of your domain** and keeps bad actors from spreading misinformation.


| Note: You can always publish a link without edited link content!
