Did anyone here get the green tick on WhatsApp?

Hey everyone,
Has anyone here actually got the green tick approved for their WhatsApp Business account?
If yes, what do you think helped? Was it your website, media presence, or something else?
Would be great if you can share your experience

newdata

Yes, we’ve seen a few accounts get the green tick recently.
But before I go into that — can you share what stage you’re at?
Like, have you already submitted your request or are you still preparing?

snapshot

Yeah, we submitted it about 3 weeks ago but haven’t heard anything back yet.

newdata

Okay, Sometimes it takes 2–4 weeks, but in our experience, businesses that had a clear online presence got faster results.
Do you have a live website that clearly mentions your business name and details?

snapshot

Yes,

We have a live website with our business details clearly mentioned.

newdata

That's great
Next thing that usually helps is brand visibility — like being mentioned on other websites, news articles, or business directories.
Do you have anything like that? Even one or two media mentions can make a difference.

snapshot

No, we’re not in any news articles or directories yet.

newdata

Got it — no worries.
Make sure your business name is consistent everywhere — website, Facebook page, and Business Manager

Okay, is there anything else I can do to improve my chances?

newdata

Yes, one more thing that often helps is having an active and verified Facebook page — especially if your WhatsApp Business Account is connected to the same Business Manager.
Is your Facebook page verified and regularly updated with your brand info?

newdata

I’d recommend applying for Facebook Page Verification.
It’s a simple process — just submit your business documents and confirm a few details.
It’s not mandatory for the green tick, but it adds credibility, and WhatsApp often looks at your Facebook Business Manager as part of their review

Alright, I’ll work on getting the page verified. Once that’s done, should I reapply for the green tick?

newdata

If your previous green tick request hasn’t been approved or rejected yet, you can wait a few more days to see if there's an update.
But if it's already been 30 days since your last submission, you’re eligible to reapply.

Once your Facebook Page is verified and your online presence looks stronger, you can definitely try submitting a fresh request.

snapshot

No, 30 days haven’t passed yet.

newdata

No problem at all — in that case, it’s best to wait for the 30-day period to complete before submitting again.
In the meantime, you can focus on strengthening your brand visibility — like verifying your Facebook Page, updating your website if needed, and listing your business on directories.

These small improvements can really help improve your chances when you reapply.

Okay, I’ll start updating a few things as suggested

Thank You
