*** Tools that enable consumers to submit Google Reviews introduce advisory firms to significant regulatory risk. In FINRA Regulatory Notice 17-18, FINRA offers guidance for Registered Representatives applicable to social networks (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Reviews), stating: “FINRA does not regard unsolicited third-party opinions or comments posted on a social network to be communications of the broker-dealer or the representative for purposes of Rule 2210, including the requirements related to testimonials in paragraph (d)(6).”

Based on this language, FINRA makes it clear that the act of solicitation triggers disclosure requirements not supported by the Google Reviews platform.

Should SEC Registered Investment Advisors not subject to FINRA oversight expect the SEC to take a more lenient stance?

We don’t believe so and don’t think it’s worth the risk. Wealthtender believes it’s highly likely the SEC will take issue in upcoming exams and sweeps with advisors proactively soliciting reviews on platforms known to be incompatible with the Marketing Rule.

With its principles-based rule intended to ensure consumers gain important information to make more informed decisions, we don’t expect the SEC to look favorably upon a rampant proliferation of advisor reviews on platforms incapable of addressing the Marketing Rule’s prohibitions and disclosure expectations.

We could update our platform tomorrow to enable consumers to submit their reviews to Google. That’s not the issue. We’re simply not in the business of ‘doing it anyway’ and asking for forgiveness later.

We designed our platform for 100% compliance with the SEC Marketing Rule. We’re not here to get cute or help advisors bend the rules. We’re here to empower advisors to abide by them and succeed with compliant testimonial marketing.

Advisory Firms Convert More Prospects Into Clients With Certified Advisor Reviews™

Wealthtender offers the industry’s first financial advisor review platform designed for SEC Marketing Rule compliance.
Certified Advisor Reviews™ help consumers make smarter hiring decisions when choosing a financial advisor.

Unlike sites like Google and Yelp, your advisors’ reviews on Wealthtender always include disclosures to satisfy regulatory and firm requirements. You can choose to only display reviews from clients and use admin tools to ensure regulatory compliance and protect the privacy of your firm’s clients. If you have received Google Reviews, Wealthtender’s import tool helps you unlock their potential to strengthen SEO (search engine optimization) and promote them compliantly. You’re always in control of the features accessible by your advisors.

Online reviews accelerate the trust-building process with prospects. Your advisors already build credibility with their experience and credentials. With online reviews, your advisors also establish an emotional connection with prospects, increasing their likelihood of setting up an introductory call and choosing to hire your advisors over others without reviews online.

Your advisors’ reviews appear on wealthtender.com, visited by 500,000 consumers annually. Your advisors’ reviews also send positive trust signals to Google’s algorithm, and their gold stars will shine bright in search results, helping your advisors stand apart from advisors who lack reviews to win more business. It’s also easy to display reviews on your advisors’ websites and create scroll-stopping social media posts showcasing client testimonials.

A Message From Our Founder

A Message from Our Founder

Hi there! 👋

Thanks for your interest in joining Wealthtender.

Since launching Wealthtender in 2019, we’ve worked tirelessly to become the #1 find-an-advisor directory1 and online reviews website, helping thousands of Americans each month discover the right financial advisors for their individual needs.

Today, Wealthtender is an essential digital marketing platform helping hundreds of advisors accelerate their growth and convert more prospects into clients.

Our Independence Benefits Consumers and Advisors

Wealthtender is not sponsored by a national wealth management firm, credentialing organization, or industry association. Our independence lets us feature financial advisors with a greater diversity of backgrounds and experience than sites limited to a single firm or professional designation.

Of course, we take great pride in helping consumers learn the potential benefits of hiring advisors who have earned advanced credentials. In fact, we’ve published articles on more than 35 professional designations that describe the credentialing requirements and showcase advisors in our community who hold the designation.

(Before you invest a single dollar in digital marketing, I encourage you to take full advantage of the free benefits available to you through your industry affiliations and credentialing organizations. These directory listings often include a link to your website that can strengthen your SEO.)

Wealthtender Generates Long-Term ROI for Advisors at a Low Monthly Cost

Most directory listings published by industry associations and credentialing organizations are offered to members as a courtesy, providing few details about advisors, and limited value to consumers.

At Wealthtender, on the other hand, our singular focus on becoming the #1 find-an-advisor website explains how we earned our industry-leading Domain Authority1 and successfully launched Certified Advisor Reviews™, the first financial advisor online review platform designed for regulatory compliance.

We also reach consumers each month who read our syndicated content in popular media outlets.

A Top 5 Marketing Strategy

By joining Wealthtender, you benefit from a top 5 marketing strategy2, according to Kitces.com research.

Along with many additional benefits to help you generate the maximum ROI from your digital marketing investment, joining Wealthtender is a smart complement to your marketing activities that work well and a replacement worth considering for those that don’t.

For less than the cost of one tank of gas each month, you’re pumping high-octane marketing fuel into your business to accelerate your growth and get more clients online.

When you join Wealthtender, your digital marketing investment compounds over time, paying dividends when an increasing number of your future clients find you directly online. And when they do, your advisory fee is yours to keep.

Wealthtender is a Top-Rated Solution in Our Category

In 2023 and again in 2024, the annual T3/Inside Information Advisor Software Survey of more than 3,300 advisors was published and previewed on the main stage at the T3 Technology Tools for Today conference.

Wealthtender is prominently recognized in the ‘Mighty Mites’ category that showcases solutions that have achieved ‘an extraordinary average user rating‘.

We’re grateful to our growing community of wealth management firms and advisors for taking the time to participate in the survey and sharing their experience with other advisors interested in finding the best digital marketing tools to grow their business.
