Is claiming the listing enough?

No. Claim is free and only marks the record as yours. The Verified stamp stays off until membership is paid and we finish the credential check.

What do homeowners see before we pay?

An unclaimed or claimed public record, without the stamp, without a dofollow backlink, and without LocalBusiness markup. That is deliberate.

Is this a government or trade-board certification?

No. It is our paid membership mark. We confirm the license where the trade requires it, insurance, and a background screen. You should still expect a homeowner to verify the license with the state board.

Paid membership mark

The Verified stamp is earned. Claim is free. The stamp is paid.
