YouTube is getting crowded. Roughly 300 hours of video get uploaded every single minute. That’s a lot of content. Naturally, brands and creators are looking for new ways to stand out. One of the ways to gain instant credibility is to get a verification badge for your account. That little tick mark next to your name gives your channel a sense of legitimacy. It’s proof your channel has survived the early teething stages, fought its way through the content jungle, and earned official recognition from YouTube.
As a media company, we have access to additional support resources at YouTube and can speed up verification badge reviews. We have completed it successfully for multiple clients recently.
From April 2020, we are offering YouTube verification to our clients. This is a unique service few offer. YouTube has not processed any verification badge requests submitted within the last few months and many creators have applied and reached out to the Creator Support several times, yet they always receive the standard reply that “due to the volume of requests we’ve received, it may take several weeks for your channel to be reviewed for verification.” Even after waiting several weeks, they always receive the same reply as YouTube is not processing new applications at this time.
Requirements for the service:
Your channel must have reached 100,000 subscribers.
Your channel must represent the real creator, brand, or entity
Your channel must be public and have a channel banner, description, channel icon, and content, and be active on YouTube.
Being verified on other social channels like Instagram or Twitter also helps. Having a wikipedia page also helps too. The best accounts to verify nonetheless are ones of public figures, influencers, musicians, celebrities and well-known entrepreneurs or business people. The more press articles they have about them the higher chance they have.
Pricing for verification varies and will require a strong budget.

What Are the Benefits of Being Youtube Verified?
Getting verified not only will increase your brand's value, it can increase your organic following, and open networking opportunities you would never have thought possible. The investment is worth it. Having a strong personal brand is a must in this day and age!
YouTube VERIFICATION PREVENTS IMPERSONATIONThis is why verified accounts are exclusive for celebrities, public figures, or global brands. Being verified means you are a big deal because you're important enough to be at risk of impersonation. The check mark is also meant to help users easily find their favourite brands on social media.

HIGHER TRUSTWORTHINESSBeing verified on Youtube increases your brand’s credibility. Considering less than 1% of accounts are verified, having the blue badge and check by your profile name signifies your brand is both important and relevant.
When users see a verification badge beside the account name, they are likely to consider the account as trustworthy - great for giveaways and brand deals. |
INCREASED BRAND AWARENESS |
EARLY ACCESS TO SPECIAL FEATURES
|
Youtube verification can also increase brand awareness and your follower count. This is because verified profiles appear towards the top of the search and suggested accounts. It’s also believed the algorithm favors content by verified accounts, resulting in higher engagement per post.
The blue check could also bring business opportunities to your ecommerce company. Even if an influencer or potential partner hasn’t heard of your brand before, the check indicates your company is a major leader in the industry. This could spark interest in communication or a collaboration with your business. |
Another perk is that verified accounts receive early access to Youtube features that can help monetize accounts.
We submit verification requests through our Media Partner support, and we will also work on your PR before submitting the request. |
