AI search optimization for personal injury law firms
After an accident, more people ask ChatGPT or Perplexity which lawyer to call before they search Google, and the answer names five or six firms. Personal injury is one of the most expensive categories in paid search; AI answers are a channel where a firm can't buy its way in. Cited helps personal injury firms get named.

Single sessions in a new thread. Answers vary between runs and between engines; this is an observation, not a ranking, and no one listed is a Cited client.
The engines name firms with a clear focus on the exact case type asked about, and they often justify the pick with things a firm publishes about itself: years in practice, trial experience, reviews and how fees work. Long-established firms and newer, review-heavy firms appear in the same answer.
What gets personal injury law firms named
No engine publishes its weighting, so treat these as fundamentals, not tricks. They follow from the engines' own guidance and from the answers we log.
- A page for each case type you want (car accidents, trucking, motorcycle, wrongful death) and each city you serve, written for the person asking, not for keywords.
- Attorney bio pages with accurate bar admissions, experience and the case types each lawyer handles.
- Results, fee and process information published in line with your state bar's advertising rules.
- Consistent firm name, address, phone and practice areas across Google, Apple, Bing and legal directories.
- Client reviews that describe the case type and experience, requested ethically.
