FAQ
- To qualify for a local listing and appear on maps, you must meet with customers face to face, either at a store or a specific service area.
- We can only verify companies that have a location that receives mail, but that location does NOT need to be open to the public. (i.e. home based business that meets customers at their location)
- If you do not meet the local listing requirement, you can still be verified as a Brand (i.e. Nike) but won’t appear on maps.
- For KACC to verify you, we need to see a physical copy of some proof of business ownership, such as a business license, utility bills or bank statement. A business card is not acceptable, please contact us for specific questions. The person responsible for managing the business page (usually owner, but can be a marketing rep) must also have a gmail account they can access and will check.
KACC will walk through each person individually to check your business’ current listing and get you verified. We now offer this service completely free to local businesses by appointment only. The process takes about 10 minutes in the office and the verification is instant in most cases. To schedule an appointment for your company verification, contact KACC today!
