The short answer

## How does law firm SEO work in Columbus?

It works by treating Google and AI as two separate channels. When we asked AI for the best law firm in Columbus, it named 25 firms, but only 2 also appeared on Google's first page. Four of the 9 results there were directories. So we work on rankings and on AI citations at the same time, using the same research and content, and we measure each one separately for your firm.

Our own data

## What AI names vs what Google shows.

AI named 25 law firms in Columbus. Google's first page for the same search has 9 results: 5 law firm sites and 4 directories. 2 of the 25 law firms AI named are among them. Google Maps showed 3 law firms; 2 of them were also named by AI. The other 23 are recommended by AI without a place on that page.

We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity "best law firm in Columbus" 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, btlaw.com is Barnes & Thornburg).

What it means

## Three things this tells you.

* ### A good ranking is not enough
AI draws on sources beyond Google's first page. Your firm needs a presence where AI reads, not only one strong position.
* ### Directories take space you could hold
Directories take 4 of the 9 spots on Google's first page. Your site competes for the other 5.
* ### Agency picks are just as scattered
AI named 12 marketing agencies for Columbus law firms, and only 4 appeared in more than one answer. Consistent signals across several sources are what get a name repeated.
