Blue checkmarks are designed to leverage brand trust and help users figure out whether the email's sender is a legitimate source or a scammer. In turn, it will also be easier for Google to block spam and identify fraudulent emails faster.

Companies already verified through BIMI will receive a verification checkmark automatically. Detailed instructions on how to do this are available on Google's website.
