Get your baselineA prospective client is searching for ip & patent right now. They opened ChatGPT, typed their question, and got a recommendation. If it wasn't your firm, that case is already in a competitor's pipeline. VISIBLD's GEO Audit shows exactly what AI platforms say about your practice across six platforms when innovation-driven companies, research institutions, inventors, and startups navigating patent prosecution or ip litigation search, benchmarks you against the firms being cited, and delivers a step-by-step roadmap to win your share of AI-generated referrals.
The legal vertical has a structural GEO problem. Most firms have invested in websites, SEO, and Google Ads, but none of it was built for AI retrieval. Innovation-driven companies research IP counsel in AI before filing. Technology-domain specificity earns citations for the exact queries that matter: "software patent attorney" not "IP lawyer." LLMs evaluate positioning specificity, third-party authority signals, structured FAQ content, and how consistently your firm is described across platforms. A firm whose website says "experienced attorneys you can trust" earns zero AI citations, because the model has no idea who to recommend them to. A firm whose positioning says exactly what they do, for whom, and where gets cited consistently for the right queries. Your GEO lever: Technology-domain specialization: software/AI, biotech, medical devices, semiconductors, or clean energy. Authority surfaces that matter: USPTO registered practitioner database, IAM Patent 1000, Managing IP, Chambers IP, IPWatchdog and IP industry publications. Competitors currently cited by AI: large IP boutique firms with deep prosecution benches, full-service firms with IP departments, solo registered patent agents and attorneys.
