Directory signals
No fabricated reviews, imported stars, or pay-to-rank ambiguity.
Estate Law Aid currently omits profile ratings, review counts, testimonials, awards, badges, endorsements, sponsored placement, and featured-professional labels because no complete accepted collection, verification, moderation, disclosure, challenge, and correction system is active.
Current state
Signals are disabled
Source websites may display reviews, ratings, testimonials, awards, or badges. Estate Law Aid does not copy those signals into its own profiles and does not convert them into an Estate Law Aid score.
Membership
Payment is not quality
Free factual control and paid membership remain separate. Membership does not prove quality, specialty, credentials, availability, endorsement, or results and does not change organic profile order.
Future safeguards
What would be required before activation
Any future system would require authentic experience, informed consent where applicable, clear sponsorship or incentive disclosures, no professional-authored client voice, no suppression based on negative sentiment, dispute and correction paths, moderation, anti-manipulation controls, source rights, privacy protection, audit, rollback, and legal and owner approval.
