The short answer

## How does criminal defense SEO work in Boston?

It works as two jobs in one plan, because ranking and being named are different. We asked AI for the best criminal defense lawyer in Boston and it named 13 criminal defense lawyers, yet only 2 are also on Google's first page. We build your firm's presence on both channels at once, with one team, so ranking and being named grow together instead of leaving you visible in only one place.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 13 criminal defense lawyers in Boston.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best criminal defense lawyer in Boston" and searched Google for the same words. Each Google result was classified as a business site, a directory or ranking, or other. AI names were matched to Google results by business name, website domain or initials, and each match was checked (for example, dharlawllp.com is Dhar Law, LLP).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Google rank does not carry over
A strong Google position does not make AI name your firm. Plan for both channels, because each one has its own sources and its own rules.
* ### Directories take space you could hold
Directories take 3 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 6.
* ### AI reads beyond law firm sites
AI cited a mix of firm sites and legal directories. Your firm needs strong pages of its own and clean listings on the directories AI reads.
