### 🧭 Why It Matters

Before your campaign can go live, carriers require that all brand, message, and consent details are correct and consistent.

> 💡 *Treat this as your “pre-launch audit.” Complete everything here before submitting your campaign registration.*

***

### ✅ Brand & Business Information

* [ ] Use a **branded business email** (no Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook).
* [ ] Provide your **tax ID** for brand verification.
* [ ] Confirm **legal business name** matches your tax ID and public brand identity.
* [ ] Verify **business address** matches your website and registration forms.
* [ ] Ensure your **website URL** is live and reflects your brand name and services.

> ⚠️ *If any of these don’t match exactly, your submission may be rejected.*

***

### 💬 Messaging & Content

* [ ] Include **at least two realistic sample messages** with brand name.
* [ ] Confirm your **campaign description** matches your use case (e.g., marketing, alerts, support).
* [ ] Verify **no prohibited (SHAFT)** content — Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, or Tobacco.

> 💡 *The more complete and realistic your samples are, the faster they get approved.*

***

### 🔗 Links & Privacy

* [ ] Ensure your **Privacy Policy** and **Terms of Service** are live on your website with your verified domain.
* [ ] Avoid **link shorteners** (Bit.ly, TinyURL). Use full URLs from your site.
* [ ] Confirm all **links open properly**.

> 💬 F*ull transparency is required — every link and form must be live, clear, and verifiable.*

### 🚀 Final Review Before Submission
