What has changed

Clients now ask AI which solicitor to instruct

A potential client types “best family solicitor London” into ChatGPT late at night. The answer names a few people and stops. If your firm is not one of them, you never hear about that enquiry.

Those answers come from what AI tools can find and trust: your website, your partner profiles, your directory listings and what the rest of the web says about your work. Most law firm websites were built to look established, not to answer the questions clients ask.

Result

A family law partner who appeared in no searches at all, now first in 14 of 18

When we started, a family law partner at a London firm did not appear in a single AI or Google search we tracked. We tracked the searches the partner’s future clients use, then worked on how AI tools find and describe the partner. Within eight weeks the partner was first in 14 of the 18, and their profile page was first on Google for their name.
