Why this matters
In Criminal Defense Law, buyers and decision-makers increasingly start with an AI assistant before opening a search results page. Whether a firm is named, described, or recommended inside that answer shapes whether it makes the consideration set at all. Tracking AI visibility weekly makes that selection pattern observable instead of anecdotal.
