About BeenVerified

History

BeenVerified is a U.S. public-records search service founded in 2007. It developed its business around making information from public records and other data sources easier for consumers to search and understand.

Product Types

Subscription-based people-search and public-records lookup services, including reverse phone searches, reverse email searches, address searches, username searches, and vehicle lookups. Available information varies by search type, source coverage, and subscription terms.

Target Audience

Primarily U.S. adults seeking to reconnect with acquaintances, identify unfamiliar callers, research their own public-records footprint, or learn more about people they encounter online. BeenVerified is positioned as a consumer research service, not a consumer reporting agency; its information must not be used to determine eligibility for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other purposes restricted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Unique Selling Points

BeenVerified brings multiple lookup types and information sources together in a consumer-oriented interface, reducing the need to search individual sources separately. Results may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate and should not be treated as definitive identity verification or a comprehensive background check. For affiliate marketers interested in promoting BeenVerified through Sovrn Commerce, creating a Sovrn account is an easy way to explore access to thousands of merchants and check BeenVerified's current availability and terms. A current BeenVerified partnership, immediate merchant access, commission rates, and promotional offers through Sovrn could not be independently verified for this response.

BeenVerified Affiliate Program

Commission Structure

Current BeenVerified commission rates and qualifying conversion requirements through Sovrn Commerce could not be independently verified. Do not assume that commissions apply to every subscription, trial, renewal, or purchase. Join Sovrn Commerce and check BeenVerified’s merchant listing, if available to your account, for the applicable payout model, rates, exclusions, and approval requirements before publishing earnings claims.

Cookie Duration

A current BeenVerified-specific cookie duration through Sovrn Commerce could not be verified. Check the merchant terms available in your Sovrn account rather than assuming a standard attribution window.

Special Features

  • Availability and partnership status: A current BeenVerified–Sovrn relationship, immediate merchant access, and exclusive distribution through Sovrn could not be independently verified. Confirm the live merchant listing before launching a campaign.
  • Affiliate promotions: No current BeenVerified-specific commission boosts, exclusive discounts, or affiliate promotions through Sovrn were verified. Advertise only offers explicitly authorized in the current merchant terms.
  • Service positioning: BeenVerified aggregates public-record and other information for consumer searches. Explain that information may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated; do not promise definitive identity verification or guaranteed results.
  • Important use restriction: BeenVerified is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Do not promote its services for employment screening, tenant screening, credit eligibility, insurance eligibility, or other purposes requiring FCRA-compliant consumer reports.
  • Marketing compliance: Clearly disclose affiliate relationships and accurately describe any advertised trial price, recurring subscription charge, renewal conditions, and cancellation terms.
  • Traffic restrictions: Confirm BeenVerified’s current Sovrn terms before using paid search, trademark bidding, email, social media, coupons, or incentives. Permission for these methods has not been verified.

Unique Products

BeenVerified brings multiple public-records and lookup tools together in a consumer-oriented service, helping users research people, contact information, properties, and vehicles. Available information varies by search, source, and subscription; records may be incomplete or inaccurate. These are research tools, not guaranteed identity verification or consumer reports for eligibility decisions. Publishers interested in promoting BeenVerified should join Sovrn Commerce and confirm current merchant availability, eligible services, and promotional terms before publishing affiliate links.

Marketing Tips

Content Ideas

  • Publish a practical guide to BeenVerified's people-search and public-record lookup services, explaining potential uses such as reconnecting with acquaintances while emphasizing that information may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate.
  • Create educational articles about reverse phone and email lookups for investigating unfamiliar contacts. Explain that search results do not establish someone's identity or prove that a contact is safe.
  • Develop transparent service reviews covering search options, report limitations, subscription terms, cancellation procedures, and privacy considerations. Verify current features and pricing before publication.
  • Create a consumer-focused guide explaining what BeenVerified can and cannot be used for, clearly distinguishing personal research from employment, tenant, credit, insurance, or other eligibility screening.

Promotional Strategies

  • Use Sovrn Commerce as your affiliate access point: join Sovrn and check its merchant directory for BeenVerified's current availability, publisher eligibility, and applicable terms before planning a campaign.
  • Place approved Sovrn affiliate links within relevant educational content, using accurate calls to action such as 'Explore available search options' rather than promising specific records or guaranteed results.
  • Build evergreen search-focused content around public-record literacy and unfamiliar-contact research. Avoid fear-based messaging, invasive targeting, or suggestions that the service enables surveillance.
  • Promote discounts, introductory offers, or commission incentives only when their current availability and conditions are confirmed through Sovrn and the merchant's offer details. Do not imply that exclusive BeenVerified promotions are guaranteed.
  • Test content placement and messaging using the performance reporting available in Sovrn Commerce, allowing for reporting delays and commission adjustments rather than assuming every click or subscription will earn a commission.

Best Practices

  • Verify BeenVerified's current listing, commission structure, attribution window, permitted traffic sources, and qualifying conversion rules within Sovrn Commerce. These details are not independently verified here.
  • Place clear, conspicuous affiliate disclosures near recommendations and Sovrn affiliate links, following applicable advertising-disclosure requirements.
  • Do not market BeenVerified as a consumer reporting agency or promote its reports for employment, tenant screening, credit, insurance, or other eligibility decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
  • Never promise complete, instant, accurate, or guaranteed records. Explain that record availability and accuracy vary and that users should independently verify important findings.
  • Clearly explain any verified trial, recurring billing, renewal, and cancellation conditions. Do not describe a paid report or subscription as free merely because an initial search is free.
  • Review BeenVerified's current terms and the applicable Sovrn policies before using paid search, trademark keywords, email campaigns, social media, incentives, or coupon-based promotion; permission should not be assumed.
  • Protect personal information in demonstrations by using consented or appropriately anonymized examples. Never encourage stalking, harassment, doxxing, or unauthorized access to private information.
  • Use only approved branding and substantiated claims. Confirm creative-asset availability through Sovrn Commerce rather than assuming BeenVerified supplies banners, exclusive offers, or other promotional materials.
