Premium verification

Earn the badge that tells customers you're the real thing

Premium Verification is BigHUB Market's trust programme. It confirms that a business is genuine, contactable and accountable — and it gives customers the confidence to take the next step.

Two tiers

Verified (blue) and Premium Verified (gold)

Every checked business earns the blue badge. Businesses on a premium verification plan carry the gold badge and unlock extra reach and support.

Verified

Verified (blue)

Our standard trust badge, awarded once we confirm a business is genuine, registered where required, and contactable.

  • Eligible for category and location discovery results
  • Standard support queue
Premium Verified

Premium Verified (gold)

Our top tier for businesses on a premium verification plan — everything in Verified, plus reach and service upgrades.

  • Higher visibility and premium placement in search and discovery

Trust programme

What verification means

A verified badge on BigHUB Market means our team has reviewed the business behind the profile: its identity, its registration details where applicable, and its contact information. It does not guarantee the outcome of any individual transaction, but it does mean the business is who it says it is.

For customers, that removes the biggest hesitation in online discovery. For businesses, it turns a cold profile view into a credible first impression.

  • Two badge tiers

    A blue checkmark for verified businesses and a gold checkmark for Premium Verified — both shown on your profile, listings and posts.

  • Higher visibility

    Verified profiles are prioritised in category and location results; Premium Verified profiles get premium placement in search and discovery.

  • Better conversion

    Customers are far more likely to follow, enquire and buy from a business that has been independently verified.

  • Priority support

    Verified businesses jump the queue for support requests, and Premium Verified businesses are handled first of all.
