Marketing honesty · browser extension

Find the marketing claims regulators actually punish — on your own site.

HonestSiteAudit scans the page you're on for the patterns the FTC and state AGs really enforce, shows you the actual case behind each one, and how to say it more honestly. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your machine.

The gap

You wrote your copy to sell. Regulators read it for something else.

“Guaranteed results,” “cancel anytime,” “#1,” a countdown timer, a pre-checked box — most of it is written in good faith. But some of those exact phrases have cost real companies real money, and there's no obvious line between the two. HonestSiteAudit draws that line for you, using the record of what's actually been enforced.

How it works

Scan a page, see the receipts, fix the wording.

Scan the page you're on

Click the toolbar button. It reads the current page's own text and markup locally — no crawl, no upload, no account.

See each flag with its case

Every finding gets a severity, why it's scrutinized, and the real FTC / state / court action behind it — with a link to the source.

Say it more honestly

Each flag comes with a plainer, more defensible way to make the same point — so you keep the pitch and lose the exposure.

The record

These aren't hypotheticals. They're settlements.
