Check that every claim is accurate, can be supported and helps the reader make an informed choice. Review the current professional rules before using testimonials, fee claims or referral arrangements. A platform listing does not remove those responsibilities.
Understand the situation and prepare
Read the page as a prospective client might. Could it imply a guaranteed result, a special qualification you do not hold or regulator endorsement? Verify credentials and obtain appropriate permission before using client information. Explain prices and exclusions clearly. Check referral arrangements separately rather than assuming ordinary advertising rules answer every question.
Review the meaning a prospective client could take away
Assess the overall impression of the profile or advertisement as well as individual phrases. Check professional details, fee descriptions, testimonial permissions and any arrangement involving referrals. A platform listing or owner-approved article does not certify the communication or business arrangement as compliant with professional requirements.
A practical example
Illustrative example: A profile accurately lists a service but its headline implies a predictable result. Review the headline, description, exclusions and surrounding design together. Replacing the headline with a factual description may improve clarity, but the illustration is not legal clearance of a particular advertisement or referral model.
Questions to settle before the next step
Ask what evidence supports a claim and whether client material can be used at all. Check current regulator guidance and obtain focused advice for unclear arrangements. Keep review records and revisit content when circumstances change. Private matter documents must not become marketing material merely because a team member can access them.
Your next steps
- Review the current rules for each marketing format.
- Substantiate credentials, fees and factual claims.
- Check permissions and referral arrangements.
- Record approval and revisit content when circumstances change.
