Independent Standards
How FloristRating Verifies Studios
5-layer physical audits and zero-commission guarantees — we score reliability, not Instagram aesthetics.
5-layer florist verification
Every verified badge on floristrating.in is earned across five independent checks—not a paid sponsorship tier.
- 01
GSTIN validation
We confirm an active GST registration tied to the trading name shown on the profile, so buyers know they are dealing with a formal business—not a disposable pop-up number.
- 02
Shop & Establishment Act
Local Shop & Establishment registration is checked against the claimed studio locality in Gurugram, anchoring the listing to a real operating premise.
- 03
Government ID
Owner or authorised operator identity is verified against government-issued ID before the verification badge is unlocked on directory and storefront pages.
- 04
Geo-tagged physical studio audit
A geo-tagged visit confirms the physical studio or workshop exists at the published address—reducing fake “online-only” listings that disappear after payment.
- 05
Liveness portfolio check
Recent work samples are reviewed for authenticity and freshness so the gallery reflects current capability, not recycled stock photography from another city.
7 objective service-quality parameters
Scores reflect operational reliability buyers can audit—timing, brief fidelity, pricing honesty, and aftercare.
Freshness
Stem condition at handoff and during setup—wilting, hydration, and cold-chain discipline.
Punctuality
Arrival window versus the agreed load-in time for delivery or venue install.
Brief Adherence
Whether colour palette, stem mix, and scale match the written brief—not a surprise redesign.
Pricing Transparency
Clarity of quotes, add-ons, and final invoice versus what was promised upfront.
Substitution Communication
Proactive notice when stems must change, with buyer approval before substitution.
Setup / Cleanup
Venue install quality and debris removal after the event or delivery.
Post-event
Responsiveness after the event for issues, wilting claims, or follow-up orders.
Dual-trust philosophy
Google review volume and star ratings capture broad public sentiment at scale. FloristRating verification captures what Google cannot: GSTIN legitimacy, studio existence, and structured service audits. We show both side-by-side—never one without context—so a thin Google profile with strong verification (or a loud Google page with weak ops) is visible before you WhatsApp the studio.
Google social proof
Rating, review count, and a direct maps review link on directory cards, profiles, and tenant storefronts.
FloristRating verification audit
Five-layer business checks plus seven-parameter scores—independent of ad spend or directory placement fees.
Frequently asked
- Do I need a written wilt/substitution SLA, or is WhatsApp enough?
- Demand hours-to-refresh, who pays for replacement stems, and written approval before any substitution. We score substitution communication as one of seven parameters. Moodboards are not a contract.
- Is floristrating.in a marketplace? Do florists pay for leads?
- It is a verified directory, not a marketplace. floristrating.in takes 0% commission and studios do not pay for leads. You WhatsApp the florist directly. Founding Partner storefronts are free lifetime verification, not paid ranking.
