Establishing Trust and Credibility: In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to ensure your profile is verified.
✅ Why Profile Validation Matters:
A verified profile on WhatsApp provides assurance to your audience that they are interacting with a legitimate business entity.
It helps differentiate your business from potential imposters or fraudulent accounts, safeguarding your brand reputation.
Verified profiles enjoy enhanced visibility and credibility, leading to increased trust and engagement from users.
According to Meta's Policy:
Businesses can start messaging customers immediately and only need to complete Business Verification when they’re ready to scale marketing, utility, and authentication conversations or request to become an Official Business Account (OBA).
🎯 Step-by-Step Guide to Profile Validation:
1. Eligibility Check:
Before initiating the validation process, ensure that your business meets WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy.
Gather and scan a document containing your Business Legal Name. Meta might also ask for documents containing your Business Address and Phone Number. To learn more, check Meta's official documentation.
Make sure to setup Two-Factor Authentication and that your Business is Verified. If your Business Account is not verified, you will be limited to 250 daily messages. You can do so in the Security Center.
2. Access Business Settings:
Log in to your Kiosk account, go in the Kiosk settings and access the WhatsApp profile section (it will redirect you to the Meta Business Manager).
3. Initiate Verification Process:
Submit a request for an Official business account.
Follow the prompts within the settings to initiate the verification process. WhatsApp may require you to submit certain organization details.
4. Await Review:
Once you've submitted the documentation, WhatsApp will review your profile for verification. This process may take up to 30 days.
5. Implement Verified Badge:
Upon successful verification, WhatsApp will provide you with a verified badge or icon for your business profile.
