Green Tick Verification
“Company name + verified badge on your number. Customer thinks "This is a big brand".”
Meta Business Verification confirms your business identity and helps unlock features. The verified badge / Official Business Account status is granted at Meta's sole discretion based on its criteria, which can change, and is not guaranteed. A complete, approved business profile and display name still build trust without a badge.
Plain-English Explanation • What It Means
Establishing instant credibility is critical when selling high-value goods or services online. An Official Business Account (OBA) displays your approved business name in the chat header even if the customer has not saved your number to their contacts, alongside a distinctive green verification badge. This visual seal reassures shoppers against fraud, impersonation, or fly-by-night operators. Even prior to obtaining the badge, completing Meta Business Verification grants your business an official profile with your logo, address, catalog, email, and verified website.
Representative Business Case: Kalyan Heritage Jewellers
“Fictional example: High-ticket shoppers were hesitant to pay deposits to an unfamiliar phone number. Displaying their official registered trade name with an approved WhatsApp profile and brand badge increased payment link completion by 42% because customers recognized them as an authenticated brand.”
