Verification builds trust on both sides
Your Trusted Worker verification gives homeowners confidence to hire — and gives legitimate local businesses a way to prove they're licensed, insured, and real before the first phone call.
Why homeowners trust verified pros
Hiring a contractor or tradesperson is a high-stakes decision. Verification helps customers feel confident they're dealing with a professional — not taking a gamble on someone unknown.
Every verified pro has submitted a valid trade license, proof of liability insurance, and evidence that the business is real — reviewed by our team before the badge is awarded.
Homeowners can filter search results to show only verified businesses, so your badge appears exactly when customers are looking for peace of mind.
The verified badge on profiles and in search results signals that someone beyond the business owner has checked the basics — reducing uncertainty for first-time customers.
Customers are more willing to share project details and contact information when they know the business has been vetted for license, insurance, and legitimacy.
Why your business should verify
Verification isn't just a badge — it's a signal that sets you apart from unvetted listings and helps you earn customer trust faster.
Your verified badge appears on your public profile and in pro search results — a visible differentiator next to businesses that haven't been reviewed.
Homeowners comparing similar pros often choose the one they feel safest hiring. Verification helps you convert browsers into leads.
New businesses without a long review history can still earn trust on day one. Verification backs up your reputation while reviews accumulate.
License and insurance documentation proves you operate professionally — not as a side hustle or unlicensed operator — which matters for larger projects.
Our team manually reviews each submission. The verified badge means we have confirmed the following — it does not guarantee the quality of work performed.
- Valid business license for your trade and state
- Current proof of general liability insurance
- Business registration and proof the company exists
