- **Description:** Help prospective clients and AI assistants find your practice areas, locations, contact information and current consultation terms.

A prospective client wants to know whether your firm handles their issue in their area. Help AI assistants find your practice areas, locations and contact details so they can use accurate information about your firm.



## What you get

- Inspect direct responses from your practice-area pages
- Get the facts a referral question needs into the first few lines
- Keep every published claim tied to something you actually store
- Source-backed information and reviewed Answers drafts

## The information prospective clients need

Referral questions to an assistant are unusually specific: a practice area, a jurisdiction, sometimes a fee structure or a language. Answering one requires facts that are on your site somewhere and are frequently unreachable: which courts you appear in, which matters you take, whether the first consultation is chargeable, where you are admitted.

Inspect representative practice-area pages for accessible contact, service and consultation details. Our demo service page demonstrates one way to present those facts more compactly.

> **Check one practice-area page now** Inspect the response for jurisdictions, matters and consultation terms. Missing information identifies a source, content or delivery improvement to investigate.

## The facts worth making reachable

Not marketing copy. The specific, checkable items a referral question turns on, stated as text a parser can read rather than implied by a page’s design.

- **Jurisdictions and admissions.** Where the firm and its lawyers are actually admitted to practise.
- **Practice areas, named plainly.** The words a client would use, not only the ones the profession uses.
- **Matters you take and do not take.** Declining clearly is as useful to a referral as accepting.
- **Consultation terms.** Whether the first meeting is chargeable, and on what basis.
- **Locations and contact.** Present in the text, not only in a map widget that loads after JavaScript.
- **Languages.** State the languages your team can provide service in.

## Keep the firm’s sources connected

Connect practice areas, fees, languages and credentials to the firm’s current records. The gateway renders those source facts; Answers supports source-backed drafting and review.

Keep rates, credentials and service details tied to current records. Review drafted answers in the publication workflow so the firm controls what it publishes.

> **Approval stays on by default** Review source-backed drafts through the configured publication workflow. Set clear authority for any automated updates and keep the firm’s information current.

## What is GEO for law firms?

## Why would an assistant skip our firm?

## Is this compliant with advertising rules?

The gateway renders the facts supplied by your firm. Source-backed Answers drafts can be reviewed before publication; keep the firm’s professional requirements reflected in those sources and approvals.

## Do we need to rebuild the website?

Start with a scan, then choose the integration your platform supports. Many sites can connect their existing sources without a redesign.

## Will this affect our Google rankings?

Recognized search crawlers continue receiving canonical HTML. The gateway provides markdown as another representation of your existing information.
