Where it fits
- An adviser posts a client success story or third-party endorsement.
- A social campaign mentions back-tested performance or model portfolio results.
- A firm reuses webinar clips across LinkedIn, email, and landing pages.
- A reviewer needs a consistent record of edits, approvals, and disclosure decisions.
Operational steps
- Identify whether the content is advertisement, educational material, market commentary, endorsement, testimonial, or recommendation-adjacent copy.
- Review performance, ratings, rankings, cherry-picked facts, hypothetical examples, compensation, and conflict disclosures.
- Require substantiation for material claims and preserve sources with the review record.
- Archive the approved content and monitor post-publication edits or comment-driven changes.
Common risks
- A testimonial omits compensation or material conflicts.
- Hypothetical performance is presented as typical client experience.
- A ranking claim lacks methodology, date, or source.
- A short social caption strips away risk language that existed in the longer article.
