If you have a personal account and you’re part of an initiative that prioritizes people and planet, you can apply online to create a enterprise account and public profile page.
It’s free to be Good Market Approved and always will be. Here are some reasons that enterprises apply:
If someone sent you an invite to apply, click the link they shared to go to the Apply page. If not, go to www.goodmarket.global, open the menu in the top left corner, and select Apply.
Review the guidelines before clicking the New Application button. Every enterprise is different. The key thing is to use the form to share your purpose and story, and if a question doesn’t apply to your enterprise, select No.
Filling the form in your primary language is recommended. The language can be changed from the top bar on every page.
The Organization page of the form tends to take the longest and is the only page with required questions: Profile Name, Sector, Products and Services, Location, and Photo.
If you try to click the Next button without completing the required questions, they will be outlined in red. For the Products and Services question, remember to click Enter after each keyword or short phrase.
The rest of the form is mostly Yes / No and multiple choice questions and tends to go quickly.
The form automatically saves when you click Next or Previous to go between pages.
Most applicants finish the form in a single sitting. If you need to save your draft and come back to it later, click the gray Save Draft button at the top or bottom of each page.
To continue the form, click Account in the bottom menu, open your personal account page, and under the My Enterprises section, click the Edit button.
Continue through the Environment, Customers, Workers, Suppliers, and Community sections of the form. If a question doesn’t apply, select No.
If you are submitting the form as the first step to joining a network, getting a certificate, or accessing other services, answer the optional question on the final Additional Info page.
When you click the Submit button, you will see the confirmation page and receive an email.
After your application is approved and your profile page is published, you will have an enterprise account on the site. You can switch between your personal account page and your enterprise account page by clicking Account in the bottom menu.
You can also also use the account switch in the top right corner. If you send a chat message, share feedback, or participate in the forum as your enterprise account, your enterprise name and logo will appear on the site instead of your personal name and photo.
Enterprise accounts include a number of free basic services including a public profile page, use of the Good Market Approved logo and certificate, team access, marketplace listings, points and boosts, connecting under the enterprise name, and participating in networks.
The logo, name, location name, contact links, photos, and People & Planet section on your profile page are based on what you included in your application form. They can be updated by clicking account in the bottom menu, opening your enterprise account page, and clicking the Edit button to open the form. When you are done making changes, click the Publish button.
The location name that appears on your profile page is automatically generated by Google Maps based on where you dropped the red pointer on the application form map. If the location name on your profile page is not correct, open the form, check to make sure the pointer is on the correct spot on the map, and click Publish. If the pointer is on the correct spot, but the location name is not correct, send a help chat message or email hello@goodmarket.global.
Profile paragraphs are generated by the curation team in order to provide a consistent and neutral tone across the site and optimize for search and translation. The paragraphs are based on the information in the initial application and online. If you would like to remove or update a point in your profile paragraph, send a help chat message or email hello@goodmarket.global.
See the Profile Page section of the Directory Policy for more information.
As an approved enterprise, you can add products, services, events, media, places to visit, fundraising campaigns, job vacancies, volunteer opportunities, or anything else you’d like to share to the community marketplace. Visit Add to Marketplace to learn more.
If you know someone that should be part of the Good Market commons, you can share a personalized invite link with them through chat, email, or social media. If the link comes from your enterprise account, the invite will include your logo. The invite message can be customized and written in any language.
If you invite a contact and they sign up, you will receive 1 point. If they apply and become Good Market Approved, you will receive 10 additional points for contributing to the commons. If they use your invite link, the earned points will be added automatically. If you do not see the earned points, you can send a help chat message or an email to hello@goodmarket.global.
