Legal marketing for the AI era

Is Your Law Firm Visible in AI Search?

The way people find lawyers is changing. AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are now recommending law firms - is yours being mentioned?

The search crisis

When clients stop clicking.

Search has changed. For years, law firms could rely on Google rankings to bring in enquiries. But now, AI platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are giving answers before a client ever reaches your website.

The "Crocodile Effect"

Impressions keep going up, clicks stay flat or decline. Your potential clients aren't clicking through like they used to. Instead, they're relying on AI-generated answers and summaries to decide which firm to trust.

Why this is a problem

You're Represented Without Control

AI pulls information from across the web. If your digital footprint is weak or outdated, you risk being ignored or misrepresented.

Visibility Isn't Enough

It's no longer just about ranking on Google - it's about being cited, mentioned, and trusted by AI platforms.

Lost Clicks = Lost Enquiries

Even if you appear in search, if AI answers the question without showing your firm, you lose the lead.

Who stands behind this page

Written by the people who ran the enquiries, not by a content team

legalbuzz is run by George Levett and PJ Singh. They met at a City of London law firm, where PJ led sales operations and George ran digital growth, and went on to build Conveyancer Plus, the UK’s first outsourced conveyancing sales team. That is where the data on this site comes from: 36,463 closed conveyancing enquiries across 22 UK firms, which showed that 42.8% of instructions are won on the day of enquiry and that conversion varies 17.6x between firms on the same lead source. Every page here is written by a named founder, checked against the SRA Code, dated and reviewed.
