Most directories list you.
Fiduciary Check builds your practice.

Verified, fee-only fiduciaries get an AEO-ready profile, compliant reviews, a private peer forum, co-branded content, quarterly marketing strategy, and member pricing on the channels that actually grow a practice.

The moat

Fee-only is the strictest fiduciary tier.

Not fee-based. Not suitability. The Orange Check is awarded only to firms whose every dollar of revenue comes from clients — verified against Form ADV, IAPD, and BrokerCheck.

Read the methodology
The discovery layer

Built for the answer-engine era.

Your profile renders for Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini citations. Structured schema, primary-source claims, and editorial content positioned to be quoted.

How AEO works here
The growth engine

Marketing services, not a yellow-pages listing.

Co-branded content, compliant reviews, handwritten letters, seminar packages, quarterly strategy. The work other directories tell you to figure out yourself.

What you actually get

Fourteen benefits, four
jobs to be done.

Grouped by what they do for your practice — visibility, reputation, marketing power, and community.
01 · Visibility & Distribution

Get found by the people already searching.

A listing is a name in a list. A Fiduciary Check profile is a structured, AEO-citable, SEO-indexed surface engineered to surface in Google, AI answer engines, and your own marketing.

  • AEO/SEO/GEO-optimized profile

    Every profile is structured for Google rankings, AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini), and local geographic intent. Schema, citations, and metadata done right by default.

  • Co-branded articles with backlinks

    Editorial pieces published under both names with do-follow backlinks to your firm's domain. Real authority, not directory link rot.

  • AEO/SEO/GEO brandkit

    Use Fiduciary Check's verified-fiduciary brandkit on your own site, blog, and proposals — including badge artwork, schema snippets, and approved copy.

  • Featured advisor spotlights

    Long-form spotlights amplified across our newsletter, social, and the platform's editorial homepage. Plus tier and above.

  • Marketing, educational, and blog content library

    Pre-approved client-facing content you can repurpose — explainers, FAQs, retirement-planning primers — written by Fiduciary Check editorial.

02 · Reputation & Trust

Reviews, badges, and proof your prospects can verify.

Trust is the conversion driver in this category. We give you the artifacts a serious prospect actually looks for — and the compliance posture to handle them correctly.

  • SEC Marketing Rule compliant reviews

    Client review collection that follows the Marketing Rule (Rule 206(4)-1) — disclosures, balance, and recordkeeping handled. Stop avoiding reviews because compliance is hard.

  • Fiduciary Check LinkedIn badge

    A verifiable LinkedIn credential that confirms your firm passed the Orange Check audit. Profile-level proof, not a graphic.

  • Fiduciary Check–powered review link

    Drop a single link in your email signature, your newsletter, or a follow-up — and clients leave compliant reviews on your verified profile.

  • Compliantly transfer Google reviews

    Migrate existing Google reviews onto your Fiduciary Check profile under SEC-compliant disclosure framework. Don't lose the equity you've already built.

03 · Marketing Power

Member economics, on the channels that move the needle.

Verified members get access to growth services at platform rates — including the channels independent fiduciaries usually can't afford to do well.

  • Discounted seminar / webinar marketing

    Member pricing on done-for-you seminar and webinar packages — funnels, slide decks, post-event nurture, and compliant promotion.

  • Discounted handwritten letter service

    SEC Marketing Rule compliant handwritten letters and mailers at member pricing. A real channel for high-net-worth prospecting.

  • Quarterly marketing consultation

    Sit with the Fiduciary Check growth team every quarter to plan content, channels, and conversion improvements specific to your practice.

04 · Community & Partners

Peers and partner pricing, in one place.

Independent doesn't have to mean isolated. Members get a real community of fee-only fiduciaries and pre-negotiated partner pricing on the tools the practice runs on.

  • Private advisor forum

    A members-only forum modeled on the best of Reddit and discreet professional networks — practice management, compliance questions, marketing experiments, peer feedback.

  • Discounted partner resources

    Member pricing on advisor technology, planning software, compliance services, and operational tools through our trusted partner network.

How verification works

Document-based, never self-attested.

The Orange Check is awarded only to firms whose Form ADV Part 1, Part 2A, Form CRS, IAPD, and BrokerCheck records all confirm the fee-only fiduciary standard.
