What Is AI Search Optimization?
AI Search Optimization, sometimes referred to as Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) or Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), is the practice of shaping your website, content, and broader brand signals so AI systems and the large language models (LLMs) behind them, such as Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity, can understand, trust, and cite your firm in their responses.
Instead of competing only for blue links, AI Search Optimization positions your attorneys as the referenced source when someone asks an AI, “Do I need a lawyer for a rear-end crash in [City]?” or “Is there a good criminal defense attorney near me?”
Why AI Search Optimization Matters Now
- AI answers often come before traditional results. If your firm isn’t represented inside those answers, the next lawyer will be.
- High-intent visibility. People who ask legal questions in AI tools are often closer to hiring. AI Search Optimization puts your firm in front of that demand.
- Authority that compounds. When AI systems repeatedly reference your firm, it reinforces your credibility across search, social, and referrals.
