Why does showing up in AI answers matter?
Search is moving into AI. More clients ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Gemini who to hire before they ever visit Google or call a firm. The attorneys named in those answers get the inquiry. If you are invisible there, you lose work to better-known competitors — even when your firm is the stronger fit.
