How badges work here.

Other platforms sell their badges. Ours are computed from real performance — there is no price tag, no premium tier, and no way for anyone (including us) to hand one out. Here is exactly how each badge is earned, and exactly how it's lost.

7 badges. Every one earned.

Each badge appears on a pro's profile only once we've actually confirmed that thing for that pro — and comes off when it stops being true.

ROLLING OUT

A badge here is a live claim — kept only while it stays true.

Fast responder is recomputed continuously from real reply times. License, business, and insurance badges show what we confirmed when we checked — we re-request current records as they expire. Think a badge is wrong? Every one shows its evidence.
