Law firm SEO for the age of AI answers

Prospective clients now ask AI which firm to call. WriteWorks shows whether ChatGPT and Google's AI answers recommend your firm for each practice area and market, flags anything they get wrong about you, and helps your team publish practice-area content that partners can sign off.

The challenge

Why legal SEO needs to cover AI answers

The gaps between ranking for a practice area and being the firm AI recommends.

AI answers name a few firms, not a page of results

"Who is the best family lawyer near me" now gets a short answer with two or three firms in it. Legal SEO that stops at rankings can't tell you whether you are one of them.

AI gets firm facts wrong

Out-of-date offices, retired partners, practice areas you no longer cover or fees you never quoted can all appear in an AI answer, and nobody at the firm sees it.

Practice-area pages are thin or locked away

Insight sits in PDFs and partner bios, while practice-area pages say little a model can quote. Firms with clear, specific pages get cited instead.

Review slows publishing to a crawl

Every page needs a partner's sign-off. Without a shared workflow, drafts stall in inboxes and the content calendar slips.

The solution

How WriteWorks runs law firm SEO

Track practice-area prompts, check the facts, ship cited pages, keep partners in the loop.

Register the questions clients ask for each practice area and city, and see whether AI answers mention your firm, at what position, and which firms they name instead. Tracked across 20+ markets.

Featured story

“A near-perfect audit score made it easy to think the job was done. WriteWorks found the one gap that mattered: none of our homepages said who we are in a way a machine could read. We added Organization markup in every market and dated every FAQ page, and key pages carrying the schema AI expects went from 92% to 100%. Small changes, and a much clearer picture of GraftPal for AI.”

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams typically ask before getting started.

What is law firm SEO in AI search?+
Law firm SEO has always meant ranking for practice-area and local searches. AI search adds a second outcome: being one of the few firms an AI answer recommends. WriteWorks measures that outcome directly, practice area by practice area, alongside the page-level work that supports it.
Can WriteWorks fix what ChatGPT says about my firm?+
No tool can edit an AI answer. Truth Check finds where AI engines state something about your firm that contradicts your own facts, shows the evidence, and suggests the fixes, usually a clearer page on your site or a correction to an out-of-date source. Re-runs show whether the answer changed.
Which AI platforms are covered?+
Starter tracks ChatGPT. Growth adds Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Enterprise and agency plans track every platform WriteWorks supports, including Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Meta AI.
Does WriteWorks give legal advice or check content for regulatory compliance?+
No. WriteWorks measures visibility and helps your team write and review content. Accuracy and regulatory sign-off stay with your lawyers, which is what the approvals workflow is for.
Is this suitable for SEO agencies serving law firms?+
Yes. Agency plans give each client firm its own organisation with its own prompts, competitors, brand context and reports.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Starter has a 7-day free trial, enough to set up a practice area's prompts and see where the firm stands on ChatGPT.
