LLM Optimization Services


Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
  • Structured, sourceable content – Clear, fact-based legal pages that AI tools can easily understand and cite.

  • Authoritative mentions and backlinks – Trusted citations from legal directories, news, and industry sites build credibility.

  • Consistent trust signals – Identical firm details across schema, directories, and pages strengthen AI recognition

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
  • AEO helps your firm appear as the direct answer to client questions in Google, voice search, and AI tools—so your firm is found before someone clicks into a website.

  • It structures your content to match how legal prospects actually ask, using clear, concise answers to questions like “How long does probate take in New Jersey?” or “What’s the difference between a will and a trust?”

  • It builds trust by giving quick, credible answers, helping your firm show up as the authoritative voice across featured snippets, AI overviews, and local map packs.

AI Overview Optimization (AIO)
  • AIO helps your firm’s content stay visible in AI-driven search results like Google’s AI Overviews or ChatGPT-powered tools—where traditional SEO alone won’t cut it.

  • It trains your pages to “speak AI” by using structured, fact-based, and semantically rich content that large language models can easily understand and cite.

  • It future-proofs your visibility by optimizing not just for keywords, but for the kinds of nuanced, legal questions people ask AI tools (e.g., “Can I sue for defamation in New York?”).

LLMs.txt
  • Controls how AI models access your content by telling large language models which pages they can or can’t use for training or citations.

  • Protects proprietary legal content by preventing unauthorized use of high-value articles, FAQs, and resources in AI-generated answers.

  • Signals ownership and policy transparency by communicating your firm’s stance on AI usage, supporting brand trust, and digital governance.
