Ai is rewriting the rules for how law firms get found online and most aren’t ready. 

In my conversation with Tim Sawyer on the Faster Outcomes Legal Keys Podcast, I break down what Google’s new Ai Overviews mean for your firm and how “Answer Engine Optimization” is replacing traditional SEO. You’ll hear how to position your firm to show up in Ai search results, why brand recognition now drives clicks, and the simple website changes that turn visitors into signed cases. I also share how we’re using Ai to coach intake teams, rank job candidates, and even script better client conversations—so your firm can attract, convert, and deliver five-star service from the first click to the final handshake.
