"Verified" icon
The Verified icon (hereafter referred to as the icon) is a blue check mark next to your company name. The icon is displayed for businesses whose representatives regularly update the company profile.
Companies get the icon when they meet these three requirements:
-
A representative confirmed their rights to the company.
-
All the required sections in the business's profile in Yango for Business are filled in.
-
A representative updates the company information in the Yango for Business account at least once a quarter.
Companies with the Verified icon are more trustworthy and more likely to be chosen by customers.
Users will see the icon in the company profile on Yango Maps.
The owner of the business will also see the icon in their Yango for Business account to the right of the business's name.
For example:
How to get the Verified icon

Confirm your rights to your business in Yango for Business.

Price list
Price lists must be uploaded for all business categories except those listed in the List of business categories without price lists. The price list must include at least one item.
Warning
Add prices to the list. If there aren't any prices in the list, it won't appear on Yango Maps, and you won't be able to get the icon.
After your business receives the icon, additional sections information will appear, such as Messengers. Fill them in if you believe that this information can be useful to customers. Optional sections don't affect the icon.
How to find out how much of the profile is complete
1. Find the progress chart in the upper-left corner of your account.
2. Click on the chart. A window with information about profile completeness will appear.
-
The icon will appear within 1-2 days of meeting all the requirements and filling out the profile.
How to keep the icon active
For the "Verified" icon to stay active, check and update the information in each section at least once per quarter.
Each data point has its own lifetime. For example, the lifetime of the Logo and English name sections is 365 days. For all other data, it's 90 days.
Two weeks before the data lifetime expires, we'll send you an email, and a warning will appear in the profile's completeness window. A warning that the icon is about to expire will also appear on the main page of your personal account. To avoid missing the message, enable notifications on the Notifications page.
If there haven't been any changes made to the business in the last three months, go to About the business → Data and click Information is up to date. All data will be updated except the Photos and videos and Price list sections. They must be updated separately.
To update data in particular sections:
-
Business hours, Phone, Link to your website, Messengers, Name in other languages, Details: Make edits on the About the business → Data page or click Information is up to date on the same page.
-

FAQ
What will happen to the icon if the company shuts down?
If the company shuts down, the "Verified" icon remains. As long as the company's data is up to date, the icon will stay active.
Why isn't the icon displayed?
-
Not all the required sections are filled in in the business profile. In that case, you will see the icon in your personal account. Click the progress bar in the upper-left corner of your account and complete the profile by following the prompts in the Your profile is empty window.
-
The company's information hasn't been updated for more than three months. The icon will appear when you check and confirm the information. For more information, see How to keep the icon active.
I edited the data, but the icon didn't appear
Wait until the information is updated. The icon appears in 1-2 days or even sooner.
I update the data in my personal account regularly and without being reminded. What else do I need to do?
If you update the data in your personal account even more often than required, you don't need to do anything else. We'll take the changes into account and extend the data lifetime.
I don't have a price list. What should I do?
You don't need to fill out the Price list section if your business belongs to one of the categories from the List of business categories without price lists. If it's the only category in your company profile, you don't need to upload a price list.
Alert
If the About the business → Data → Business category section in the profile has at least one category not included in the List, you need to upload a price list to get the "Verified" icon.
If you don't usually use price lists because you don't have fixed rates, negotiate the price with your clients verbally, or have another reason not to publish your prices, add at least one item to your price list. For example, the consultation fee for one service or the repair cost for one type of equipment.
You can also remove the business category that requires a price list from your profile or replace it with one from the List.
If you think your business category doesn't require a price list, but it's not on the list, contact support, and we'll consider your request.
How do I update my price list?
You can add, delete, or edit the price list. If the data in it hasn't changed, go to About the business → Products and services and click Information is up to date.
