*** 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.

Amplify the reach of your firm’s online reviews.

Introducing Wealthtender Review Sync™

By activating the Wealthtender Review Sync feature, your incoming reviews will display on each advisor’s profile on Wealthtender, in addition to your firm profile.

The benefits don’t stop there. When prospective clients search Google for your firm name or the name of any advisor, your gold stars appear in search results, strengthening your SEO and helping you stand out.

Prefer to let each advisor collect and display reviews individually on their profiles? That’s fine, too.

Learn more about Certified Advisor Reviews™.

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 the industry’s first online reviews website designed for regulatory compliance. We help thousands of Americans each month discover the right wealth management firms and financial advisors for their individual needs.

Today, Wealthtender is an essential digital marketing platform helping wealth management firms and 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.

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 online review platform designed for SEC compliance.

We also reach more consumers each month who visit wealthtender.com and read our syndicated content on popular websites and media outlets.

A Top 5 Marketing Strategy for Around $1/Day

By joining Wealthtender, your firm and advisors 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 firm’s marketing activities that work well and a replacement worth considering for those that don’t.

When your firm joins Wealthtender, your digital marketing investment compounds over time, paying dividends when an increasing number of your future clients find your advisors 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.
