The short answer

## How does law firm SEO work in Austin?

It works on two tracks at once. We measured the question "best law firm in Austin": AI named 20 law firms, yet only 2 also sit on Google's first page. So we run ranking and AI citation work together, because ranking alone does not get your firm named, and being named does not rank you. Both need their own plan.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 20 law firms in Austin. Google's first page for the same search has 10 results: 6 law firm sites, 3 directories and 1 other page. 2 of the 20 law firms AI named are among them. Only 1 of the 3 businesses on Google Maps was named by AI. The other 18 are recommended by AI without a place on that page.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best law firm in Austin" 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, lw.com is Latham & Watkins LLP).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### Ranking does not mean being named
Most law firms AI recommends never reach Google's first page for the same search. Treat Google and AI as separate jobs, each with its own plan and its own tracking.
* ### Directories take space on Google
Directories take 3 of the 10 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 7.
* ### AI repeats few agencies
Only 4 of the 10 marketing agencies AI named came up more than once. Consistent mentions across trusted sources decide who gets repeated, and that applies to your firm too.
