You get access to all kinds of things as a business account user, such as:

These features are awesome and absolutely must-haves to run your business.

To convert your account, you’ll notice that there’s a link saying ‘convert to business account’ when you are trying to validate your website. Click i5-convert-to-businesst.

  4. Confirm your website by clicking in the yellow box that appears at the top of the screen.
