Why It Matters

We are the geeks who lose sleep protecting your brand ®

Every claim on your website, every testimonial, every "results may vary" you forgot to add — the FTC is watching. And so are your competitors.

Businesses that run paid advertising, publish customer testimonials, or make earnings or performance claims online are operating under a strict and frequently updated set of FTC guidelines. Most aren't aware of where they stand until they receive an inquiry, a competitor complaint, or worse — a civil investigative demand.

Our Website Compliance Scan is a structured legal review of your business's online presence conducted by a TMBTQ attorney. We look at your website through the lens of current FTC regulations, advertising law, and trademark usage to identify where you're exposed — before anyone else does.

Scope of Review

What We Review

Advertising Claims

Are your product or service claims truthful, substantiated, and clearly qualified? We flag superlatives, absolute claims, and comparative statements that could draw FTC scrutiny.

Testimonials & Endorsements

The FTC's updated endorsement guidelines require clear, conspicuous disclosures for paid relationships, gifted products, and material connections. We check whether your testimonials comply — including those on social media linked from your site.

Income & Results Claims

If your business makes any reference to earnings, ROI, outcomes, or "what's possible," these claims carry significant legal exposure. We review them against current FTC guidance for income claims and atypical results disclosures.

Trademark Usage

We review how your trademarks and third-party marks appear across your site — including competitor references, award logos, and certification badges — to flag improper usage that could create liability.

Privacy Policy & Required Disclosures

We check for the presence and adequacy of your privacy policy, terms of service, and any industry-specific disclosures required by law.

Deliverable

What You Get

Following the scan, you receive a written summary of findings organized by risk level — high, medium, and low — along with plain-English recommendations for remediation. For items requiring legal action or ongoing monitoring, we'll outline next steps and how our team can help.

The goal is simple: you should know where you stand, and you should feel confident that what's on your website won't come back to hurt you.

The Real Risk

What Non-Compliance Actually Costs

This is not a theoretical risk. Businesses that ignore advertising and privacy compliance face penalties that scale fast — especially if they have any customers in California.

FTC Civil Penalties

The FTC can impose civil penalties of up to $53,088 per violation for deceptive advertising, false endorsements, undisclosed material connections, and unsubstantiated claims. Each non-compliant ad, each testimonial without proper disclosure, each income claim without adequate substantiation counts as a separate violation. A single campaign running dozens of ads can translate into millions in potential exposure.

FTC Endorsement & Testimonial Violations

The FTC's updated Endorsement Guides (2023) created sweeping new requirements for testimonials, influencer disclosures, and customer reviews. The FTC has issued Notice of Penalty Offenses to thousands of companies — meaning those companies cannot claim ignorance. Civil penalties of up to $53,088 per violation apply to any company on that list that continues non-compliant practices.

Consumer Review Rule

Suppressing negative reviews, buying fake reviews, or failing to disclose insider reviews can each trigger federal enforcement and civil penalties up to $53,088 per violation. The FTC sent warning letters to over 700 companies in 2025 signaling active enforcement.

California: The Highest-Stakes State in the Country

If your business has customers in California — and if you have a website, you almost certainly do — you are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its enforcement arm, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).

$2,500 per unintentional violation · $7,500 per intentional violation · No cap on the number of violations — each affected consumer can count separately.

The CPPA imposed a $1.35 million fine against Tractor Supply Company for CCPA violations. California's Attorney General reached a $2.75 million settlement with Disney over CCPA opt-out noncompliance — the largest CCPA settlement on record.

Common triggers: missing or inadequate "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" disclosures, failure to honor opt-out requests, third-party tracking that continues despite stated opt-outs, and outdated or incomplete privacy notices.

The Math

A company with 10,000 California website visitors, an inadequate privacy notice, and a Meta Pixel firing without proper consent could face $25 million in theoretical CCPA exposure — $2,500 × 10,000 visitors. The CPPA has made clear it intends to pursue enforcement at scale.

A $197 compliance scan is not an expense. It's an insurance policy.
