The 5-Step Verification Process

Verify Your Phone Number

We send OTP to your mobile. Enter code. Phone verified. This proves you're a real person, not a bot creating fake accounts.

Verify Your Address with Location

Add your farm/clinic address. We use geo-location to confirm. This proves you're part of the poultry community (not random internet user).

Why: Location enables local connections, regional content, nearby vet discovery.

Build 5 Connections

Connect with 5 people in your industry. They accept your requests. This proves you're engaged, not hit-and-run.

Why: Community members who invest in relationships contribute quality content.

Complete 80% of Your Profile
