Most legal directories rank firms by who pays for placement. Councl does the opposite. Every firm gets the same Councl Score, built from public signals anyone can check — reputation, web presence, experience and reliability — so people can compare on something real, and firms can see exactly where they stand.
The score is free and unsolicited. Separately, firms can hire Councl Studio for website and marketing work. That commercial relationship never changes a firm’s score, ranking, or evidence-review outcome.
