The playbook for getting an AI to recommend you comes down to five instructions: be specific, show results, get testimonials, publish prices, and explain why you are the better choice. Four of those five, written the way anyone would write them, collide with a Florida rule if you practice a regulated profession.
That is not bad faith from whoever advised you. That playbook was written for a coffee shop, a gym, a retail store. None of those has a licensing board reviewing their ads. You do.
This is a working document. Pull the sentences off your site, swap each one, and fill the gap with what you can publish. Time to complete: 30 minutes, once. Outcome: your sheet filled in and the exact list of sentences to rewrite.
Which Rule Applies to You
Not every profession carries the same rule, and that confusion is what makes advice that is correct for a dental practice wrong for a law firm.
Dentists, the Swap Table
Fla. Stat. 466.019 is a Florida state statute, not a board guideline. It enumerates what counts as a false, misleading or deceptive dental ad.
Health Care, Testimonials and Before-and-Afters
Applies to dentists, medical practices and med spas. It is the most published and the least authorized. Before using a patient information for marketing, the HIPAA Privacy Rule requires, with limited exceptions, their written authorization under 45 CFR 164.508(a)(3).
Lawyers, the Swap Table
Med Spa, Medical Practice and CPA
The chapter your staff operates under is a fact, not decoration. Publishing it protects you and answers a question people actually ask: who is going to treat me. And part 3 applies to you in full.
The One That Reaches Everyone, Reviews and Incentives
FTC, 16 CFR Part 465, in effect since October 21, 2024. This one does not depend on your profession.
Your Worksheet
Twenty minutes. Pull from your site every sentence that praises you, compares, promises a result, or mentions a price. Mark which of the four it is. Write the replacement.
