Our story
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. When a firm wants to close the gap it reveals, our agency can do the work — but the score itself is never for sale.
