Do you Show Up when Clients ask
AI for a Lawyer?
The Women's AI Visibility Institute Conducts the Nation's Most Rigorous State-by-State Research on AI Bias in the Legal Profession
For Most Women Attorneys we've Measured,
the Answer is No
When a Potential Client Asks AI Who to Hire - Will your Name Come Up?
Your potential clients are already using ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to find attorneys. They're not Googling. They're asking AI. AI is answering, just not with your name.
​
Our research across 967 women attorneys in Colorado, Texas, and Florida reveals a systematic, measurable pattern: women attorneys are being left out of AI recommendations at alarming rates. Not because they lack credentials. Not because they lack experience. Because AI systems were trained on a digital record that underrepresents women, and most attorneys don't yet know how to fix it. This is the Double Bias Problem. And it's solvable.
Open ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity.
Type the question a potential client would type to find you:
If you're not on the list, you're not being considered. It's that simple, and it has nothing to do with how good a lawyer you are.
"Who are the best [your practice area] attorneys in
[your city]?"
Search Your Name
Count the Names.
Count the Women.
Count Yourself.
Now You Know the Problem.
Let's Measure Yours.
You just ran an informal test. We run the rigorous one.
Your AI Visibility Audit measures exactly where you stand on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, the same three platforms, the same 20-point framework we used to evaluate 967 women attorneys across three states. In five business days you'll know:
- Your Composite AI Visibility Score - platform by platform
- A criterion-by-criterion breakdown showing exactly where you appear, where you don't, and why
- Your schema status, including whether you have the "false presence" problem we found in 72% of Texas women attorneys
- Your three highest-impact fixes, ranked by what will move your score fastest
​
Built for solo practitioners, partners, and women attorneys at firms of every size. NO marketing fluff.
Just the data you need to be findable.

How We Help
Research Reports
State-by-State AI
Visibility Research
The first empirical research documenting how AI platforms recommend women attorneys. Each state report measures hundreds of attorneys against our proprietary framework and gives bar associations, firm leaders, and policy organizations the data they need to act.
Individual Audits
Know Your Score
In five business days, you'll know exactly how visible you are on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity and the three highest-impact fixes for your specific gaps. Same 20-point framework used in our state reports.
LinkedIn Audit
A Complete Profile Isn't the Same as an AI-Readable One
Your LinkedIn profile is one of the top sources AI platforms cite when recommending attorneys. We score it against the same 20-point framework used in our state reports, which evaluates profile structure, expertise signals, activity, and cross-platform recognition. You receive a composite score and a criterion-by-criterion breakdown
Legal Directory Audit
AI Trusts Directories. Are Yours Working for You?
Nearly 1 in 5 AI citations comes from LinkedIn and legal directories. We audit your presence on Google Business Profile, AVVO, Super Lawyers, and Martindale-Hubbell against our 12-point framework with a remediation plan you can act on this week.
The Book Trilogy
Problem. Playbook. Movement.
Three books that walk you from problem to plan. Book One names the Double Bias Problem, how AI was trained to underrepresent women. Book Two is the playbook for the woman attorney ready to become findable, citable, and recommended. Book Three is for bar associations, women's legal organizations, and firm leaders who want to lead the response.

Would AI Recommend You
to Your Next Client?
Most Attorneys Assume They're Visible.
Our Research says Otherwise.
Where AI Actually Looks for You
That's the Million Dollar Question
When ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity recommend an attorney, they're not just reading your firm website. They're pulling from the places prospective clients already trust, LinkedIn profiles and legal directories like AVVO, Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google Business Profile.
