I’ve helped multiple businesses apply for and complete their WhatsApp green tick verification in the past month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta typically reviews and approves applications in 48 hours. However, three of my applications took only 45 minutes to be approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: The name has been changed from green tick to blue tick. But I’ll be using both names in this guide. Whichever I use, they mean the same thing. Also, when I say “apply for WhatsApp verification” I mean getting your blue\/green tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a verified WhatsApp account?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A verified WhatsApp account is an account that belongs to an official business, and it makes your business stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This distinction is crucial today because consumers are often bombarded by numerous businesses that could be from untrusted sources. So they\u2019re increasingly cautious about who they engage with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A verified account enhances your brand’s visibility and serves as a badge of legitimacy. This reassures potential customers that they are interacting with a recognised and trustworthy business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is WhatsApp Blue Tick (formerly called Green Tick)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Telebu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp Blue Tick is a classic WhatsApp badge or checkmark that shows that a business is verified and trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It indicates that WhatsApp guarantees that the phone number of this account matches that of your business. This way, customers know that they are communicating with a legitimate business. Not an imposter or a fraudulent entity trying to take advantage of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This WhatsApp verification indicates that WhatsApp officially recognises a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the differences between verified and non-verified accounts<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Verified accounts have a verified badge, while non-verified accounts don\u2019t. A verified badge is the tick that we get from Meta or WhatsApp. If you click on the account, you will see that it has a tick. That\u2019s the first difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Telebu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, whenever someone clicks on the business\u2019 name, meta sends a pop up. It will automatically show that the account is verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Telebu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So this shows anyone that clicks on it that WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, has verified this account based on the activity, information or documents they have provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, let\u2019s look at accounts that are not verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, there\u2019s no verified badge. And when you click on their logo, nothing will pop up from Meta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this is the first difference between a verified and a non-verified WhatsApp account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, what do forwarding messages look like to the receiver?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unverified accounts won’t have a badge when you forward a WhatsApp message from an unverified WhatsApp account. But when you forward a message from a verified account, the receiver sees a blue tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirdly, verified accounts rank higher in WhatsApp search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to Meta’s backend structure, the verified account appears at the top whenever someone searches for that business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know the difference between a verified and an unverified account. Let\u2019s talk about the benefits of having a blue tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of Having a WhatsApp Blue Tick for my business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first benefit is enhancing credibility. Customers trust that they are interacting with the official brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, better visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interacting with a verified account creates a sense of trust. It subconsciously assures customers that they\u2019re engaging with a genuine business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business name appears in the contact list even if the customer or audience has not saved the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Telebu<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, let\u2019s say Telebu is doing a marketing campaig<\/a>n and the Telebu number is not saved on the customer\u2019s list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the customer receives the message, it will automatically come by the business name (Telebu), with the green tick. It will not appear with the WhatsApp number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also applies when you forward a message as a verified business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you forward a message to an unknown person using the normal WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, the person will see an unsaved number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like in this screenshot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can increase their fear of being scammed. They can report your business to Meta. However, when it comes to verified accounts, your business appears as a name, even if it is not saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, generally, verified accounts receive better customer interaction, leading to higher sales. This is one of the benefits of having a verified account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
