In today’s business world, brand image and credibility are crucial in expanding an enterprise. However, many companies need help to present a more intuitive and trustworthy brand image to increase acceptance.
Is there an official verification path for WhatsApp business accounts that can solve this problem for enterprises?
The answer is yes – the “Green Tick Verification” of WhatsApp business accounts.
01 What is the Green Tick Verification of WhatsApp Business Accounts?
The Green Tick Verification of WhatsApp Business is an enterprise verification mark provided by WhatsApp. After verification, there will be a green checkmark next to your account information. This green checkmark indicates to the outside world that your WhatsApp business account has been officially certified and is an honest and trustworthy enterprise account.
02 Advantages of Green Tick Verification Accounts
The Green Tick Verification has the following key advantages:
- The officially issued green tick has a certification effect, which can gain the trust of users. Therefore, users are more inclined to accept messages initiated by the enterprise and are more willing to opt-in.
- Verified enterprises can establish user trust in the WhatsApp community and can use the newly launched channel function to obtain more private traffic.
- Verified enterprises with a green tick have lower risks of being blocked or reported by users, which can help enterprises build more complete and efficient brand and marketing strategies.
03 What are the Characteristics of Green Tick Verification Accounts?
- The verified WhatsApp Business account name will have a green checkmark next to it as proof of official certification.
- If it is an unverified enterprise contact number, users can only see the sender’s phone number in the dialogue box. However, the verified WhatsApp business account will display the brand name directly.
- All verified WhatsApp enterprises need to use the WhatsApp API, as enterprises with a WhatsApp API account can only complete the verification process.
04 How to Obtain the Green Tick Verification?
You need to meet the following requirements and directly verify your enterprise for free through the WhatsApp Business Manager.
