AEO for Law Firms. Get Your Firm Named When Clients Ask AI for a Lawyer.

People now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews which lawyer to call. The firms named in those answers are the ones AI can verify: clear practice pages, consistent listings, and trusted third-party mentions. Engagements start at $5,000/month.

Why law firms get skipped in AI answersThe real gap
01

Directories and lead-gen sites get cited instead of the firm

02

Practice-area pages are thin, generic, or hidden behind forms

03

Firm name, attorneys, and locations are inconsistent across the web

04

No answers to the plain-language questions clients actually ask

The work

02Entity signals

Consistent firm, attorney, and office data with LegalService and Attorney schema

Questions

FAQ

6 answers
What is AEO for law firms?

Answer engine optimization for law firms is the work of getting your firm named when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews which lawyer to call for their situation.

It combines plain-language practice pages, consistent firm and attorney data, trusted third-party mentions, and technical fixes so AI engines can verify and recommend you.

How much does AEO for a law firm cost?

Engagements start at $5,000/month, run by one senior owner. Scope depends on practice areas, locations, and how competitive your market is, and is set on a 30-minute call. See the pricing page for what is included.

Do you have law-firm case studies?

Not yet published. The documented results on this site are from other industries, such as Lumanu (101 conversions from AI search in 60 days) and Riseworks (575% AI search growth). The method carries over, but I will not claim law-firm results I cannot show you.

Is AEO different from law firm SEO?

It builds on it. SEO gets your pages ranked. AEO makes your firm the name an AI engine repeats when it answers the question directly, often with no click at all. The fundamentals overlap, but AEO puts more weight on entity consistency, third-party mentions, and question-led content. More in how to choose an AEO consultant for law firms.

How is this different from a large legal marketing agency?

You work with Austin directly. Large SEO agencies often sell content volume and monthly reports. This engagement focuses on the few pages, listings, and citations that decide whether AI names your firm, and on tracking the client questions that matter.

How do we start?

Book a 30-minute call. We run the questions your clients actually ask, show which firms AI names today, and decide whether an engagement from $5,000/month makes sense. You can also run the free AI visibility checker first.
