SEO and AI search for law firms
SEO for law firms and solicitors that also gets you named by ChatGPT. One fixed price: €1,000, no VAT.
The Law Firm Visibility Fix is done-for-you law firm SEO for practices of one to twenty fee earners: we measure 30 real client prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini, fix your Google Business Profile, your website and your listings, then measure again 30 days later. 15 working days of work, then the 30-day re-measure. No contract. No monthly fee.
Built on what we did for our own electrical business and our own local home-improvement business. Both went from invisible to named by AI engines, one of them inside three weeks.

The short version
What does SEO for law firms involve in 2026?
Law firm SEO in 2026 is the same five things it always was, read by two new judges. Your Google Business Profile, your practice area and location pages, your reviews, your listings on the registers and directories that vouch for you, and business details that match everywhere. Google's map pack reads them. So now do ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini.
Law firm local SEO still decides most of it
The map pack sits on most "solicitors near me" and "family law solicitor in [town]" searches, and the ChatGPT local list is built from the same Google Business Profile data. Law firm SEO services, done properly, are a profile with the right categories and practice areas, reviews that keep arriving, and one page per practice area and town. That is the first half of this package. In the UK and Ireland it is sold as SEO for solicitors; the work is the same.
Why does ChatGPT matter to a law firm?
Because clients now type "who is a good family law solicitor in Naas for a separation agreement" into ChatGPT and get a list of three names. In September 2026 our own home-improvement brand took three enquiries in three days from people who, when asked how they found us, said ChatGPT or an AI assistant. Those enquiries cost nothing. Nobody pays for a place on those lists. The businesses named have been structured to be found.
What decides which firm gets recommended?
From the AI answers we have logged for two of our own businesses since April 2026: the review count and rating on your Google Business Profile, a page on your site that plainly says the practice area and the town, structured data that tells the engine you are a law firm at an address, and a listing on the register the engine trusts (the Law Society, the SRA, the state bar, and the directories built on them). Fee questions go to whoever publishes a fee or a fee range, and "no win no fee" questions go to whoever says plainly on the page that they offer it.
SEO for personal injury lawyers
Personal injury is the most competitive legal market on the web. In the US, the top firms in a big city pay more for one click on "car accident lawyer" than most small practices spend on marketing in a month. A fixed-price fix does not compete with that, and we will not pretend it does. What it does is get a local practice named in the local and long-tail prompts, "personal injury solicitor near me no win no fee", "slip and fall lawyer in [town]", where the engines pick from profiles, reviews and directory listings, not ad budgets. The same applies to SEO for immigration lawyers, where the questions are specific and the firms that answer them plainly are the ones that get cited.
Why a fixed price instead of a law firm SEO agency retainer?
Law firm SEO retainers typically run from £800 a month in the UK to $2,000 to $10,000 a month in the US, and personal injury is the most expensive SEO market there is. A law firm SEO company on retainer is usually spreading a one-off structural fix across twelve invoices, and the honest ones tell you to wait six months for a traceable enquiry. Most of the work that moves the needle for a one-office or three-office practice is that one-off fix. So we sell it as one, with a measured result, and let you decide about anything ongoing after you have seen the numbers.

What you get
What is in the Law Firm Visibility Fix?
Seven pieces of work, all done for you, in 15 working days. The schema and listings follow a fixed pattern; the prompts, the profile copy and the page copy are written for your towns and your practice areas.
| Deliverable | What we do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 30-prompt AI visibility audit | We ask ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini the questions your clients ask ("personal injury solicitor near me no win no fee", "how much does conveyancing cost in [town]", "best family law solicitor in [area]") and record who is named and which sources each engine relied on. | You cannot fix what you cannot see. This is the before picture the 30-day report is measured against. |
| Local demand map | Real monthly search volumes for solicitor, lawyer and practice area searches in your towns, pulled from Google data, not guessed. Typically 150 to 400 phrases, ranked by what is worth chasing. | It tells you which practice areas and towns to put your name on first, and which are not worth a page. |
| Google Business Profile rebuild | Primary and secondary categories, the full services list, service area by town, a description written to the questions AI engines ask, Q&A seeded, photo brief, and a review link with a printable card for reception and the client care letter. | The map pack and the ChatGPT local list are both built from your profile. Reviews decide who gets recommended; this is the machine that collects them. |
| Website fixes, done for you | LegalService, LocalBusiness, Service and FAQPage schema. An llms.txt file. Titles and descriptions retargeted on up to 8 pages. Answer-first FAQ blocks written and added to your three most valuable practice area pages. Name, address and phone made identical everywhere. | This is what AI engines read to decide you are a real firm at a real address. It is the work that got our own businesses cited. |
| Register and directory listings | Your entry checked or created on the 6 to 8 registers and directories that AI engines actually cite for lawyers in your country, with the text prepared for you. The Law Society of Ireland find a solicitor register in Ireland; the SRA register, the Law Society find a solicitor service, Review Solicitors and Google reviews in the UK; the state bar directory, Avvo, Justia, FindLaw, Martindale and Google reviews in the US. | When an engine has to choose between two firms, it picks the one that a trusted third party vouches for. |
| Indexing | Every page we change is submitted the same day: IndexNow for Bing and its partners, and an indexing request in Google Search Console. We check back and confirm each one has been picked up. | Changes that Google has not read yet do not exist. Most small sites wait weeks for a recrawl. |
| 30-day rerun and report | The same 30 prompts run again 30 days after the work goes live. You get a plain-English before and after report with screenshots, Search Console impressions and clicks, and the next five things to do, whether or not you do them with us. | You will know, in numbers, whether it worked. If your firm is not named, and your site not cited, in a single prompt where it was absent at the baseline, we do a second round of fixes free. |

Fit
Who is this for, and who should not buy it?
A good fit
- •Law firms and solicitors' practices with one to twenty fee earners, in Ireland, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
- •You already have a website, even a basic one, and a Google Business Profile.
- •You want more of a specific kind of work: conveyancing, personal injury, family law, wills and probate, immigration, employment, commercial.
- •You would rather pay once for a measured fix than sign a 12-month retainer.
Not a fit
- •No website at all. Email us and we will point you at the cheapest honest route to one first.
- •Firms with ten plus offices. That needs the full programme, scoped per office.
- •Anyone who wants a guaranteed number one spot in ChatGPT. Nobody can sell that, and we will not pretend to.
- •Firms with under five Google reviews that will not ask clients for more. Reviews decide the map pack; we build the system, you have to press send.
The same package is available for eleven trades and professions. See them all, or buy it for any other local business, on the local SEO package page.
Proof
Where has this been done before?
On two businesses we run ourselves, with the numbers recorded as we went. We say plainly what each one is, because it matters: neither is a law firm. We have not yet run this package for one. What we have is an electrical wholesaler and a local home-improvement business, and the numbers below are ours.
Shamrock Electrical, Dublin. Electrical wholesaler, Shopify store.
April 2026 baseline: named in 1 of 10 buyer questions. Schema, FAQ blocks and answer-first guides went live over April and May. By June, ChatGPT named Shamrock first of five retailers for electric radiators in Ireland, and Perplexity was citing it for radiators, floodlights and mirrors. Bing's AI Performance report counted 226 Copilot citations across 29 pages on 4 September and 301 across 36 pages on 7 September, after one more content pass.
Caveat: this is a product retailer answering "what is the best" questions, which AI engines are asked far more often than "who should I hire". Read the full case study.
The Home Upgrade Co, Dublin. Kitchens, doors and fitted furniture, supplied and fitted.
This is the closest thing to a law firm in how it wins work: a local service business that wins clients by town, through the same Google Business Profile and town-page signals a practice depends on. On 25 August 2026 it appeared in 0 of 3 test prompts and had 0 Copilot citations. Service and town pages were built to the same standard used in this package. By 13 September ChatGPT named it in 7 of 10 internal-door prompts and 9 of 24 kitchen prompts, and it was the second most cited domain across 48 kitchen answers. Between 10 and 12 September three customers, asked how they had found us, answered ChatGPT or an AI assistant.
Caveat: those are enquiries and citations, not signed contracts. Nothing on this page promises new clients or matters.

The promise
Measured on 30 prompts, or the second round is free
Before we touch anything, we run 30 real prompts across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini and record who is named. Thirty days after the work goes live we run exactly the same 30 again. You get both sets, with screenshots.
"Moved" has one meaning: your firm named, or your website cited, in a prompt where it was absent at the baseline. If that has not happened in a single one of the 30, we do a second round of fixes at no cost. What we will not say is that we can guarantee ChatGPT recommends you. OpenAI is explicit that placement cannot be bought, and any agency that promises it is guessing with your money.

Common questions about SEO for law firms
What is SEO for law firms?
SEO for law firms is the work that makes a practice show up when someone searches for a solicitor or lawyer in their town: Google Business Profile, practice area and location pages, reviews, and consistent business details. In 2026 it also has to cover ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini, which answer the same questions from the same sources.
Do you need my passwords, and what if my web developer will not give access?
No passwords, ever. You add us as a manager on your Google Business Profile and Search Console and remove us the day the report lands. For the website we need an editor login or your developer's email. If the developer refuses or charges, we send them a one-page change sheet with the exact schema, titles and FAQ blocks to paste in, and we check the result.
Who does the work, can it break my site, and what is the refund position?
Ger Devereux does it, personally. Before any edit we take a backup or work on a staging copy, and every piece of page copy is sent to you for approval before it goes live. Full refund at any point before the baseline sweep starts. Once work has started there is no refund, because the sweep and demand map have already been paid for; the second-round promise covers the result.
What about my regulator's advertising rules?
The page work is factual: your profile, your schema and your directory listings, stating what you do, where you are and who you are registered with. It does not make claims about outcomes or compare you with other firms. Your own regulator's advertising rules, whether that is the Law Society of Ireland, the SRA or your state bar, apply to any copy we write, and we send every sentence to you for approval before it goes live so you can check it against them.
Does this work for SEO for personal injury lawyers?
Yes, with a caveat. Personal injury is the most competitive legal search market in the US, so a €1,000 fix will not put a new firm ahead of the national advertisers on "car accident lawyer" in a big city. What it does is get you named in the local and long-tail prompts, "personal injury solicitor near me no win no fee", "slip and fall lawyer in [town]", where AI engines pick from profiles, reviews and directory listings rather than ad budgets. The 30-day report tells you whether the market is worth the €3,500 programme.
I am in a rural area. Will there be any search data for my towns?
Often not much below county level, and we say so rather than pad the numbers. In that case the demand map is built at county and nearest-city level, the profile is set up for a service area rather than a town list, and we put your name on fewer, stronger pages. One service area means one office and the patch you actually cover, usually a county or two.
How much does SEO for law firms cost?
Law firm SEO retainers typically run from £800 a month in the UK to $2,000 to $10,000 a month in the US, and personal injury is the most expensive SEO market there is. Most come with a minimum term. The Law Firm Visibility Fix is a one-time €1,000 (about £850 or US$1,150) with no contract. The €3,500 Growth Programme adds new pages, guides and three months of tracking.
Can you guarantee my firm will be recommended by ChatGPT?
No, and nobody honestly can. OpenAI says placement in ChatGPT answers is not guaranteed, and its ads are kept separate from the answers. What we do instead is measure 30 real prompts before and after the work. If none of them has moved after 30 days, we do a second round of fixes at no cost.
Does the Law Firm Visibility Fix work outside Ireland?
Yes. The method is the same in Ireland, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. What changes is the register and directories AI engines trust for lawyers: the Law Society of Ireland find a solicitor register in Ireland; the SRA register, the Law Society find a solicitor service, Review Solicitors and Google reviews in the UK; the state bar directory, Avvo, Justia, FindLaw, Martindale and Google reviews in the US. We map the right ones for your country.
What do I need to give you?
A 20-minute onboarding form, access to your website or your web developer's contact, manager access to your Google Business Profile and Search Console, your Law Society, SRA or state bar number, the towns you cover, the practice areas you want more of, and about ten photos of the office and the team, with the town each was taken in.
Which website platforms do you work on?
WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, GoDaddy, Webflow and static sites, and the legal website platforms that sit on top of them. If you have no website at all, this is not the right package; email us and we will tell you the cheapest honest route to one.
How is this different from the free AI visibility check?
The free check tells you whether AI engines mention you today. The Law Firm Visibility Fix measures 30 prompts, finds out why you are missing, and then does the fixing: profile, schema, pages, listings, indexing, and a 30-day re-measure. The free check is the diagnosis; this is the work.
How is this different from the €7,500 GEO for Service Businesses programme?
The €7,500 programme is a full 21-day rebuild of your web presence for AI search: schema across the whole site, buyer-question content on every key practice area page, an entity consistency audit, a citation gap analysis and a 90-day keep-working guarantee. The €1,000 fix works with the pages you already have and touches eight of them. Start with the fix and upgrade once you have seen the 30-day report.
Not sure whether you are invisible?
Run the free check first. It takes a minute and tells you whether AI engines mention your firm today. If they already do, you may not need this.
