Law firmsPersonal injury lawyers
Someone gets rear-ended on a Tuesday. By Thursday there's a sore neck, an adjuster calling, and a question typed into ChatGPT or Google: "Do I need a lawyer for a car accident, and who near me handles these?" Back comes a short answer with a handful of firm names.
AEOptim checks what AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google's AI tell injured people in your metro about injury firms, and whether yours is named. AEOptim is a Web Everything company.
The client's questions
Pick a point on the clock. These are examples of what injured people ask, not quotes from anyone's chat.
Asked of an AI assistant
"What should I do right after a car accident?"
Asked of an AI assistant
"The other driver says it was my fault. How is fault decided?"
Asked of an AI assistant
"Should I talk to the insurance adjuster, or take the first offer?"
Asked of an AI assistant
"Who pays my medical bills while the claim is open?"
Asked of an AI assistant
"Which injury lawyer near me offers a free consultation?"
Most injury firms already buy visibility: Google Ads, Local Services Ads, TV, billboards, lead vendors. You know your cost per signed case by channel. Keep all of that.
AI assistants answer in sentences with two or three names, not a page of ten links. A firm on page one of Google, or at the top of the ads, can still go unnamed. AI doesn't read billboards or verdict boards. It reads your site, your listings and directories, and repeats what they say.
That's why the work here is on your own site. Pages you own keep saying the same thing whether or not the ad budget is running this month.
Check your own site
An assistant repeats the facts it can find, and nothing else. Put these on your website, your Google Business Profile and Avvo, worded the same in each. Your intake team can check the site against them.
Client vocabulary
Injured people learn these words the week they're hurt, often by asking AI. A page that defines each one plainly gives AI a reason to put your firm beside the answer.
Near me
Ask for a car accident lawyer near you in Dallas, then in Denver (two example cities), and you get two different short lists. Each is built from what AI can read about the firms in that metro. Google's AI answers link out to their sources, and a firm's own site and listings are part of what they read.
Thirty years of trial work doesn't show up unless it's written down somewhere AI can read. Nobody can promise you a spot on that short list, and you should doubt the vendor who does.
What a clear site does
When your site is clear, an AI assistant can find your firm when someone asks about a crash in your metro, repeat your facts correctly, and tell them whether you're likely a fit before they call.
That helps intake. If your site says which cases you take, where, and how your fee works, AI can say so. The callers who come through that way already know those basics before your intake team picks up.
No AI tool has a booking deal for injury consultations today. ChatGPT, Copilot and Perplexity take restaurant reservations, and Google's AI Mode takes hotel bookings. Injury firms aren't part of either. The call still comes through your own site and phone: a consultation request form that asks what your intake team needs, and a number that gets answered at 2 a.m. or returned first thing.
If your contingency terms on the site are out of date, AI repeats the old ones.

What we won't do
The basics first: "specialist" only with the certifying body named, and your state bar's advertising rules on every page. Florida, New York and Texas add their own on top of the model rules.
The path, with prices
$0
One live AI engine (Perplexity, which searches the web as it answers), one question an injured person would ask, in your city. You see the answer as it came back, names included. About two minutes. No card.
$450, one time
Five engines, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, plus live Google search data: what people search, how often, where you rank, who's ahead. A fix list in order, yours to hand to your web person or your ad agency. +$100 per extra location, up to five.
$350, one time
Your homepage and up to six case-type pages. Answers to the questions injured people ask, drafted only from what your pages already say. You approve every answer. Facts about your services, not legal advice.
from $350 a month
Monitor ($350 a month) re-asks your questions on all five engines, several runs each, and tells you plainly whether a change is real. Standard ($950 a month) and Pro ($1,450 a month) add an AI assistant briefed on your firm that drafts pages and posts for your approval. Pro measures three markets, for firms with more than one office. Change or stop any month.
If your site, Google Business Profile and directories like Avvo disagree on your offices, attorneys or phone numbers, fix that first: Listings Cleanup puts one accurate record on your site, then corrects every directory that matters to match.
If you'd rather have it done for you: Web Everything. AEOptim shows you what AI says about you. Web Everything does the work to change it.
Owner questions
Some do, though no one has a solid count for legal questions, so we don't cite one. The free check shows you what an AI assistant says when someone in your city asks.
It won't. The check shows whether your firm is named, and who's named instead. It won't tie an AI answer to a signed case, and we won't pretend it does.
It isn't. There's no lead list and nothing is resold. The work is on your own site and your own listings, and you own the pages.
It's a separate line. Ads buy placement while they run. This is about what AI repeats from your site and listings. Keep your ads running. Web Everything's Search & Ads manages Google Ads and Local Services Ads for law firms from $450 a month. The fee depends on your ad budget.
Not by default. AI builds its answer from what it can read about the firms in your metro, and ad spend doesn't carry over into that. A firm whose pages explain case types, fees and process plainly gives it something to repeat. We can't promise that's enough in your metro. The check lists who's named in your city today.
Not through a booking deal. No assistant has one with injury firms today. A clear site sends people to your request form and phone with the basics in hand, so intake speed still matters.
We don't publish settlement amounts, verdicts or case results. The pages cover case types, process, fees and who you are. That keeps the copy on the safe side of the advertising rules, and it's what AI can check against other sources.
It's built to stay inside your bar rules, and you approve every word. Rules vary by state, so check with your own compliance reviewer.
This page is general information about AI visibility for personal injury firms. It is not legal advice, it creates no attorney-client relationship, and no case outcome, ranking, or citation is promised or guaranteed.
