What ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews currently answer
This procurement-stage prompt returns generalist law firm marketing agencies (Mockingbird Marketing, Scorpion, FindLaw, Justia) plus enterprise AEO retainers (First Page Sage). Estate-planning-specialized AEO operators are typically less visible because the practice-area niche is too narrow for generalist agencies to position around.
What KailxLabs would build to capture this citation
A dedicated procurement page for estate planning law firms covering the 5 real options. Honest framing of when each fits (estate planning is less Reddit-driven than PI; static authority through Martindale-Hubbell and named-partner thought leadership matters more). Decision rule prioritized by practice size, named-partner involvement, and budget shape. Internal links to /lawyers, /best-ai-search-agency-for-law-firms, methodology, pricing.
