No filing or pre-approval of ads is required. The State Bar says it does not have to review ads first, though a voluntary review is available. Keeping copies is not required but is called a good idea. ERs 7.1-7.5 contain no filing clause.
The finding is the absence of a filing clause in ERs 7.1 and 7.3 (7.2, 7.4 and 7.5 are reserved). The State Bar page is guidance, not the rule.

A lawyer may not make a false or misleading communication (ER 7.1). A lawyer may not state or imply being a certified specialist unless the lawyer meets Supreme Court Rule 44 (ER 7.1(b)); the bar says 'specialize' is allowed if true.

ER 7.2 is reserved, so Arizona has no rule banning payment for a recommendation. The State Bar says lawyers may now pay referral fees to anyone, but cannot thank a referral source without the client's informed consent. Nonlawyer-owned firms (alternative business structures) are licensed under Supreme Court rules.
Finding rests on ER 7.2 being reserved (no payment ban). Whether fee-division rules in ER 1.5 or ER 5.4 limit particular lead arrangements was not analysed.

Legal marketing open data (US)

Published by Probative Growth, a marketing agency for US law firms (SEO and ads, at published monthly prices). Prices: probativegrowth.com/pricing ยท About: probativegrowth.com/about

64 open, citable datasets on US law-firm marketing and the legal market (114,968 records in all), published by Probative Growth: lawyer advertising rules for all 50 states and DC, bar ad filing and fees, ethics opinions, ad-platform policies, attorney fee caps, federal MDL dockets, Spanish-language demand, and official court, complaint, crash, price and wage statistics. New datasets are added as they are released.

Every record quotes its primary source and the date it was checked. Each dataset has a DOI on Zenodo. Not legal advice: check the source and your own counsel before you rely on a rule.

Each dataset is a config (subset) with its own card: the version and DOIs, how to cite it, coverage and gaps, sources and method, the data dictionary and the change log. Click the id in the table.
