wtt.digital — Get your law firm cited by AI before your competitors do.

The shift, in numbers

Your future clients are asking ChatGPT before they Google.

Search is splitting. Buyers no longer arrive at your firm via ten blue links — they arrive via a single AI answer that names a single lawyer. The firms that get named win the case. The firms that don't, don't.

Common questions

FAQ

Three things. First, AI-search-first methodology (the VERDICT Framework) — we don't bolt GEO onto SEO; the methodology was built around AI engines from day one. Second, vertical specialization — we work with law firms only, with practice-area-tuned playbooks for PI, immigration, family, corporate, and criminal. Third, the Compliance pillar — every output is reviewed against ABA Model Rules and the relevant state-bar advertising rules. No generalist agency offers that.

Most engagements show measurable AI citation lift on baseline prompts by month 4. Consultation attribution typically follows by month 6. Pipeline-level impact accumulates from month 6 onward as the work compounds.

Engagements are scoped per firm based on practice mix, firm size, and target geography. The typical entry point is a Diagnostic Audit ($2,500, fixed, 10 business days) — that gives both sides a baseline before committing to a retainer. Retainer pricing is confirmed on the strategy call after the audit.

Initial term is 90 days (foundation work doesn't pay off in less time). After that it's month-to-month with 30-day notice.

Common situation. We work alongside existing SEO partners — the AI SEO hybrid service is built for this. We coordinate with your SEO agency on shared workstreams (schema, content, link acquisition) and own the AI-search-specific work end-to-end.

No. wtt.digital is a marketing agency that specializes in AI search visibility for law firms. We don't provide legal advice. Our scope is marketing strategy, content engineering, and AI citation tracking — reviewed for compliance with the legal-advertising rules in the firm's jurisdiction.
