e-Filing of Abuse, Neglect Petitions Reaches Family Court

Law firms often think of brand messaging as the language on the current website or in the latest pitch deck. Prospective clients, recruits, journalists, search engines and AI systems don’t see such neat boundaries. They see what’s available. Your newest message is always competing with your oldest accessible content.

The work a law firm does to understand its AI exposure, readiness, and strategic opportunities should not remain an internal exercise. It can — and should — inform how the firm competes, governs and differentiates itself, and plans for the future. As it happens, clients really do care about those things.

Law firms are racing for position in the new world of answer engine optimization (AEO) and AI-generated search. One of the most important tools in that race is something many law firm marketers may not have heard of: schema. Schema is standardized code added to a website to help search engines and AI systems understand what the information on a page means and how it relates to information elsewhere on the site.
