Two ways to stand out as a verified Gopher.
Every customer wants to know who's showing up at their door. Verified Gophers get more requests, better tips, and access to perks the rest of the marketplace doesn't see. Pick the badge that fits the work you do.
Background-check badges
Pick your badge.
Gopher Pro and Pro+ are background checks run by Yardstik, our screening partner. You pay once, and when your check clears we add the badge and its perks to your Gopher Go profile.
