What Is Shmooze Certified?

Shmooze Certification

  • A cartoon peach character with a leafy top, wearing white gloves and shoes, smiling and standing on two legs, inside a circular certification badge that reads "Shmootz Certified" and "the southshmootz.com" with a pink to yellow gradient background.

    #1 Vetted for Quality

    Shmooze Certified isn’t just a badge—it’s proof of trust. Every certified vendor has been personally reviewed, recommended by the community, and has a proven track record of showing up, doing great work, and making customers happy.

    #2 Shmooze Support

    All Shmooze Certified members are backed by Shmooze Support, which means you can hire with confidence. Certified businesses agree to respond promptly, handle feedback with professionalism, and make every effort to fix problems if they arise. And if there’s ever an issue they can’t resolve directly, you can reach out to me personally—I’ll step in to help find a fair solution.

    #3 Invested in the Community

    Shmooze Certified vendors aren’t just here for the work—they’re part of the neighborhood. Whether it’s giving advice in the group, showing up at meetups, or simply being a solid, reliable presence in Atlanta’s local business ecosystem, Certified members share the same goal: to deliver quality work and strengthen our community.
