/01 — THE GAP

Why most personal injury are invisible to AI search.

Injured plaintiffs increasingly ask AI for lawyer recommendations. AI engines pull from Avvo, Martindale, Justia, Google reviews, and press citations to synthesize answers. Most PI firms have weak schema and inconsistent profiles.

PI is among the most competitive AI search categories. Firms that built the citation footprint deliberately are dominating; firms that relied on PPC alone are getting routed past.

/03 — OUR APPROACH

How we engineer it.

/01

Practice-area schema and attorney markup

LegalService schema with PI-specific service entries, Attorney schema per partner, FAQPage schema on practice-area pages. Structured data AI engines use heavily for legal queries.

/02

Avvo and review platform optimization

Avvo is one of the highest-weight legal-search signals. We optimize ratings, reviews, and Q&A activity. Google reviews and Justia run in parallel.

/03

Verdict-and-settlement citation seeding

Press placements covering verdicts and settlements tied to specific case types so AI engines map your firm to specific injury queries, not just generic PI searches.

/06 — QUESTIONS

Common questions from personal injury.

Will AEO conflict with state bar rules? +

No. We focus on factual representation and avoid prohibited superlatives, comparison claims, and testimonials in restricted jurisdictions. Compliance-reviewable by default.

How do AI engines use Avvo data? +

They pull from it heavily. Avvo ratings, peer endorsements, and Q&A activity all factor into how AI describes a personal injury attorney. Active, optimized profiles win.

Will this work alongside PPC? +

It compounds with PPC. Plaintiffs who clicked your ad and then asked ChatGPT about your firm convert at higher rates when AI surfaces credibility signals. The two channels reinforce each other.
