FAQ

Claim Questions

How long does verification take?
Email verification is usually completed same-day. Phone verification takes 1–2 business days. Document verification takes 3–5 business days, depending on review queue.
Can I claim a listing for a business I don't own?
You must be an owner, manager, or officially authorized representative. Agencies and marketing firms can claim on behalf of clients with proper authorization documentation. False claims are taken seriously and may result in permanent blocking.
My business isn't on Placetra yet. Can I still claim it?
Yes. Submit the claim form with your business details. If your business isn't already listed, we'll create a new listing and begin the verification process. New listings typically go live within 5–7 business days.
Is there a cost to claim and manage a listing?
No. Claiming and managing your listing on Placetra is completely free. We may introduce optional premium features in the future, but the core claim and management tools will remain free.
What happens if someone else claims my business?
Our verification process requires proof of ownership or authorization. If you believe someone has falsely claimed your listing, contact [email protected] with your ownership proof and we'll investigate immediately.
