A blue tick  on WhatsApp is a verification badge that confirms that a business account is authentic and legitimate. It is a symbol of trust and credibility, which can be very important for property dealers.

why a property dealer might want a blue tick on their WhatsApp account

• To build trust with potential clients. In a market where trust is paramount, the blue tick can help property dealers stand out from the competition and show potential clients that they are a reliable and trustworthy business.
• To increase brand awareness. The blue tick can help property dealers increase their brand awareness and visibility on WhatsApp. This can be especially helpful for smaller businesses that are trying to establish themselves in the market.
• To protect their brand from impersonation. Unfortunately, there are many scams and fake accounts on WhatsApp. The blue tick can help property dealers protect their brand from impersonation and ensure that clients are communicating with the real business.
• To improve customer service. The blue tick can also help property dealers improve their customer service. When clients see the blue tick, they know that they are communicating with a legitimate business and that their inquiries will be handled professionally.

In a world where trust is increasingly scarce, a blue tick on WhatsApp can be a valuable asset for property dealers. It can help them build trust with potential clients, increase brand awareness, protect their brand from impersonation, and improve customer service.

The process to get a blue tick on WhatsApp

It’s no longer about applying for an “Official Business Account” with a green badge. Now, it’s tied to a Meta Verified subscription for businesses on WhatsApp. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Eligibility:

• Have a WhatsApp Business app account: This is the standard app for businesses, not the regular WhatsApp Messenger.
• Meet the basic requirements: Be at least 18 years old, have a profile name and picture, be active on the app, and be in a country where Meta Verified for WhatsApp is available (this includes India).
• No active WhatsApp Business Premium subscription: You can’t have both at the same time.
• No active Meta Verified subscription through Meta Business Suite: This is for managing Facebook and Instagram, not WhatsApp.

2. Subscription:

• Open the WhatsApp Business app: Go to Settings or Business Tools.
• Find “Meta Verified”: It should be an option there.
• Login into your Facebook Account (You must have Facebook Business Verification before moving forward).
• Choose a plan: Meta Verified for WhatsApp is a paid subscription service. Different plans may offer different features, including the blue tick.
• Complete the purchase: Select your payment method and confirm.

3. Verification:

• Confirm your business account: You’ll likely need to provide some information to verify that you are the legitimate owner of the business.
• Follow the instructions: WhatsApp will guide you through the necessary steps.

Important Notes:

• Profile lock: After subscribing, your profile might be locked for a period (e.g., 20 days) during which you cannot make changes. Any alterations could cause you to lose the blue tick and require you to re-subscribe.
• Channel verification: The blue tick applies to your business account. If you have WhatsApp Channels, you can also add a verified badge to them after your account is verified.
• No guarantee: Even with a subscription, Meta might still review your account and deny verification if you don’t meet their criteria or violate their policies.

Getting a blue tick on WhatsApp now involves a paid subscription to Meta Verified for Business. Make sure you meet the eligibility requirements and are prepared to follow the verification process.
