WhatsApp Green Tick
Read this article to learn more about how to get green tick on WhatsApp.
Green Tick Requirements for WhatsApp:
Besides having to abide by WhatsApp’s Business and Commerce Policies to get the green tick, businesses need to ensure that:
- The account is a WhatsApp API Account
- You’ve verified your business on Meta Business Manager
- You’ve enabled 2-step verification
- It's recommended that you are in Tier 2 or above messaging level.
- Your business should have atleast 3 organic PR. Note - Paid PR doesn't count!
A significant firm, according to Meta, is one that stands for a well-known and frequently searched brand or entity.
Therefore, having 3-5 media coverage links from news articles or magazines will boost the likelihood that your account will be approved as an official business account. You should be aware that Meta does not accept paid or promotional content as sources for reviews.
Even while fulfilling all the criteria seems straightforward, there is no assurance that your WhatsApp Business account will be verified. After that, let's examine the procedure for requesting WhatsApp Business verification.
