Verification
Verification you can actually check.
Every badge on LinkWithTrades is issued through admin review — never self-awarded, never bought. Here’s exactly what each level means.
Credentials reviewed
License and insurance submissions are reviewed by an admin before the badge shows on a profile — the highest signal on the network.
Issued by admin review · badge shown on every profile
Real people, reachable
Email is verified at signup, and private contact details unlock only after an accepted working relationship — logged and auditable.
Contact unlock requires accepted work
No one can self-award a badge
Verification levels are set by admin review only. If a badge is on a profile, a human confirmed it — that’s the whole point.
Badges can’t be purchased or self-claimed
