What This Guide Includes
This PDF breaks down how generative engines assess law firms across the four E-E-A-T dimensions:
How AI systems interpret real-world work, documented processes, and firsthand insight.
How credentials, author bylines, structured data, and citation networks help verify who is qualified to weigh in.
How backlinks, authoritative citations, partnerships, and knowledge graph recognition influence visibility.
How reviews, testimonials, awards, brand mentions, and customer engagement shape perceived reliability.
Why This Matters
Generative engines do not treat all legal content equally.
They favor firms that demonstrate verified expertise, real experience, external validation, and consistent trust signals across the web. Firms that lack these signals risk becoming invisible in AI-generated summaries, even when their credentials are strong offline.
This guide helps law firms understand how credibility is evaluated in AI-driven discovery, identify gaps in their current E-E-A-T signals, and see what to prioritize next through a practical action framework.
