How to get a Verified Badge on WhatsApp

In the digital age, the authenticity of your business's communication channels can significantly enhance your credibility. As the marketing manager at Nextbigbox, I have guided numerous organizations through the process of obtaining the coveted blue tick on WhatsApp. Here's an updated guide on how to secure this verified badge for your business.

Understanding the Blue Tick

The blue tick on WhatsApp is an indicator of authenticity, signifying that a number is the verified phone number of the business it represents. This verification not only elevates your brand’s credibility but also reassures your customers that they are interacting with the official channel.

Step-by-Step Verification Process

1. Verify Your Facebook Business Manager: Before anything else, ensure that your Facebook Business Manager is verified. This is a crucial first step as it ties your business identity to your digital presence.
2. Activate WhatsApp Business API: Once your Facebook Business Manager is verified, set up the WhatsApp Business API. This requires some technical setup but is essential for using advanced features and initiating the verification process.
3. Maintain a Quality Rating: Your messaging service's quality rating is pivotal. WhatsApp evaluates how users interact with your account, so it’s important to keep your responses timely and relevant.
4. Submit Proof of Being a Public Figure: Finally, you need to submit proof that your company is recognized as a public figure. This can typically be done by providing a PR article or similar publicity that showcases your business’s public presence and legitimacy.
