VerifiedPros FAQ

Common questions about claiming listings, license refresh, reviews, and cancellation.

Is VerifiedPros free for consumers to use?

Yes. We don’t charge consumers, sell your contact information, or run lead-buying auctions.

How do I claim my business listing?

Search for your business, open the listing, and click “Claim This Business”. You’ll be prompted to verify ownership via business-domain email or postal mail.

How is my listing protected from fraudulent claims?

When you claim a listing, we send a verification code to the phone number your state’s licensing body has on file for your business — not a number a stranger types in. We also confirm your UBI against the public state record. If anything looks off — wrong code, mismatched UBI, suspicious patterns — your claim goes to a trained reviewer on our team, with a 48-hour service-level commitment for a decision. A bad actor would need access to your registered phone AND knowledge of your UBI, and would still face a human review for any unusual signals.

Why don't I see my license updates immediately?

We refresh license data from public registries on a monthly cadence (typically the 15th of each month). If your status changed after the most recent import, the directory will catch up at the next refresh — but you can always link to the official L&I or NPI lookup for live status.

Can I remove a negative review?

Not unless it violates our screening rules (e.g., profanity, off-topic, sock-puppeting). We believe consumers deserve to see honest reviews. As a claimed business you can post a public response to any review.

How do I cancel my paid subscription?

From your business portal: Settings → Subscription → Cancel. Your listing stays at the paid tier until the end of the current billing period, then reverts to Basic. You keep your reviews and verification badges.
