# Claim your free profile

Every business in our cities is already considered for the awards. Claiming makes sure we judge you on the right facts.

## Four steps, about five minutes

1.

### Find your business

Every business we review already has a basic profile.

2.

### Prove it’s yours

We call or text the business phone number with a code.

3.

### Check your facts

Phone, website, hours, service area and years in business.

4.

### We verify, then use it

We check what you add against public records before the next review.

## What claiming doesn’t do

- It doesn’t enter you in the awards; every business is reviewed already.
- It doesn’t raise your score.
- It doesn’t sign you up for anything paid.

To start a claim, [contact the awards team](https://topchoicelocal.com/contact/).

Questions

## Questions from business owners

Does claiming my profile help me win?

Only by making your details correct. Claiming has no weight of its own; a correct phone, website, hours and service area are what count in the score.

We won an award. How do we show it?

Your winner profile links to your badge kit, with copy-paste code for your website. Each badge links back to the award page so customers can check it.

Can we pay for a better award?

No. Awards, categories and their order cannot be bought, and enhanced profiles are labelled and have no effect on any result.
