    5. Display Claim Now Button on Listing Details<\/strong>: Admin can show Claim Now button in single listing by using this option.(Default is Disable)<\/li>\n
    6. Display Claimed Badge<\/strong>: If you set this option to ‘Yes’ then a badge will be displayed beside the listing title. It is useful because it distinguishes between claimed\/verified listings and unclaimed\/unverified listings.(see the image below)<\/li>\n
    7. Verified Text<\/strong>: You can customize the text for the claimed badge using this option. For example: claimed or verified etc. It depends on the “Display Claimed Badge” option. (see the image below)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
