I run a small horror news publication and we'd love to spend money on twitter. We've tossed some money towards ads and have had a nice return from it. What we can't figure out is how much money it'll take before they'll verify us. Maybe that's something they could just offer to businesses without having to submit a request and ultimately be denied for whatever reason. I think it's fair to say I'd be very interested in throwing more money at twitter.

And what is the reason your business would benefit by being verified? I am unfamiliar with the concept I guess

  Pretty simple, people see the checkmark and value you more. Also stand out in search and some threaded conversions.

  Google at least claims that when showing your business in the knowledge graph, the social network profiles it links to have to be "verified." > Google only shows verified profiles for sites with a verification process. In some cases, Google algorithms find information that is publicly available on the web. You can use this markup to override the information Google finds automatically, but you can't specify not to list a social profile. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/enhance-site https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/enhance-sit...

Pardon my ignorace, but what do you mean by "small horror news publication"? And how do you monetize it?

    Very interesting. I tried similar experience once and it was pretty fun. Good luck with that project OP!

  No monetization yet. Although, we are building out some tools for people that run haunts that will for sure be monetized. Went into this knowing there isn't that much money in this sector for just websites.
