Sponsored Advertising Terms
These terms apply to paid advertising placements on Ohio Lawyer Index. Sponsored placement is advertising only. It does not create a fee-sharing arrangement, endorsement, recommendation, intake priority, or attorney-client relationship.
Required Standards
- All paid placements must be clearly labeled as sponsored attorney advertising.
- Advertising must be truthful, non-misleading, and compliant with applicable Ohio attorney advertising rules.
- Sponsored placement does not change organic directory filtering, profile trust labels, or public-record verification text.
- Ads may not claim guaranteed outcomes, special influence, platform endorsement, or "best lawyer" status.
- Ohio Lawyer Index may reject, remove, or require edits to any ad that creates user confusion or compliance risk.
Advertising Only
Ohio Lawyer Index sponsored placements are paid advertising only. No third-party benefit, service-credit, or revenue-allocation program is advertised as part of sponsored placement.
