AI visibility for
law firms.
Legal queries are among the top five intents handled by AI answer engines — and also the ones most heavily filtered for authoritativeness. Firms that win are the ones whose lawyer-authored content survives the model's E-E-A-T screening. Firms that lose are the ones with generic keyword-stuffed practice pages.
The queries that shape your category.
A non-exhaustive sample of the questions we see buyers in this space ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity — pulled from our real-query telemetry, not guessed.

How to get cited in law firms.
- 01
Byline every article with a real attorney
AI models are specifically trained to verify author credentials on legal content. A named, linked-to-bar, bylined author can 2–3× your citation rate by itself. Ghost-written content on a generic 'Firm Blog' byline is a dead letter.
- 02
Build practice-area FAQ hubs
Each practice area gets a /practice/<area> page with twenty FAQs answered in 80–140 words each. This format is *exactly* what Google's Legal AI Overview pulls from, and it cascades to ChatGPT and Claude.
- 03
Publish on JD Supra and Lexology
These secondary legal publishers are in every LLM's trusted-legal-source list. A monthly article on one of them, syndicated properly with canonical attribution, is worth more than four articles on your own blog.
- 04
Crawlable attorney bios with verified Bar numbers
Each attorney page with bar number, admission dates, and linked-to state bar profiles. This is how models verify authority. Without it, your bios don't count toward E-E-A-T.
