Has Facebook Page ID is a yes/no check for whether the page’s head carries a meta tag with the property fb:page_id. It returns 1 when that property is present and 0 when it is not — RankGear only confirms the tag exists, it does not read, validate, or verify the ID value behind it.

What it measures
Has Facebook Page ID indicates whether RankGear recognizes a meta property named fb:page_id in the document head. It is a presence signal about markup, not a measure of whether a Facebook integration is configured, active, or correct.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear lowercases the head and searches for a meta tag whose property attribute starts with property="fb:page_id", in the supported attribute order. A match scores 1. The content value of the tag is not extracted or validated — only the presence of the property is recorded.
What RankGear looks for
<meta property="fb:page_id" content="1234567890">| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | A meta tag with property="fb:page_id" was found in the head, in the supported attribute order. |
| 0 | No such property was found — or it was written with reversed attributes or alternate quoting that the matcher does not catch. |
How to optimize it
Treat this as an observation about your markup, not a target to chase. Use platform-specific metadata only when it supports an active, correctly administered integration. Confirm current Meta documentation before adding or keeping the tag, because older page-ID properties may be obsolete or unnecessary for modern sharing and domain configuration. Raising this factor by adding markup you do not actually use does nothing for how the page performs.
Important considerations
- Presence does not prove ownership or a working integration — the ID value is never checked.
- Reversed attributes or alternate quoting can be missed by the matcher, scoring 0 even when a tag is present.
- Do not add deprecated metadata solely to raise this factor.
- Current Open Graph tags and Meta’s own debugging tools give you a better implementation check than this presence flag.
- This is a correlation-style signal within a measured result set. A present
fb:page_idtag does not cause a page to rank and guarantees nothing about position.
