Transparency about the criteria that determine the order of profiles on Consulto.

How ranking works

Results on Consulto are ordered transparently by three criteria, in order of priority:

  1. 1

    Subscription tier

    Elite appears above Pro, which appears above Basic, which appears above free profiles. All other criteria are equal within each tier.

  2. 2

    Profile completeness

    A profile with a photo, bio, practice areas and contact details appears before an incomplete profile, even within the same tier.

  3. 3

    Update date

    More recently edited profiles take priority within the same level of completeness.

A profile's position in results never implies any assessment of the lawyer's professional quality.
