VNN for Vendors: Getting Started

How local service providers can claim, verify, and manage their VNN profile.

As a local service provider, VNN connects you directly with homeowners in communities you serve. Have you ever put signs on wooden stakes around neighborhood entrances? This is better.

Vendor Portal Access

Vendors have a dedicated portal at ads.vlge.io (or vnn.vlge.io):

  1. Go to the vendor portal

  2. Create a vendor account (separate from resident accounts)

  3. Complete verification (email, phone, business proof)

  4. Search for and claim your business profile

Claiming Your Profile

If your business was added by a resident:

  1. Search for your business in the vendor portal

  2. Click Claim This Business

  3. Verify ownership via:

    • Email verification to your business email

    • Phone verification

    • Business license or registration upload

Visibility Rules

Your visibility in community directories depends on:

Once claimed and verified:

  • Core fields (name, website) are locked
