The new legal marketing frontier

Clients are asking AI, not Google

A client in Los Angeles faces a business dispute. Instead of Googling keywords, they open ChatGPT: “I need a business litigation attorney who handles partnership disputes. Who should I contact?” The response determines which firm gets that high-value lead — and it happens thousands of times a day.

Over 70% of people seeking legal services begin online, and that search increasingly happens through AI assistants. Since 2002, InterCore has watched every shift — Yellow Pages to Google Ads, desktop to mobile, SEO to GEO. Each one created winners and losers; the firms that adapted early captured the market.

“Law firms that fail to adapt to Generative Engine Optimization will become invisible to the next generation of legal consumers. It’s not a matter of if, but when.”

— Scott Wiseman, CEO, InterCore Technologies
