The Harsh Truth for Law Firms in 2025

If You’re Still Using Old SEO, You’re Already Invisible in AI Search

Presented by John McDougall, President of McDougall Interactive
SEO pioneer, author, and trusted advisor to law firms nationwide.

Why Old SEO is Dead for Lawyers
Blog posts and backlinks alone won’t get you cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI search results.

The Real Cost of Staying the Same
Each day you delay adapting, your competitors scoop up high-value cases that should have been yours.

AI + E-E-A-T = Visibility
Discover how Google and AI engines evaluate authority and why most firms fail this test.

Talk Marketing for Authority
How turning your expertise into unscripted conversations builds trust with both humans and algorithms.
