Angie’s List Search Results
In February 2016, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Angie’s List for, among other things, allegedly misleadingly marketing its content – including the order that service providers appear in search results – as based on unfiltered feedback from consumers when, in reality, service providers can and do pay “advertising” fees to appear higher in search results. (Glick et al v. Angie’s List, Inc., Case No. 16-cv-546, D. NJ.)
