GEO forProfessional Services.
GEO guide for professional services firms. Learn how lawyers, consultants, and accountants can improve AI visibility.
The four things that break the loop.
Every partner we talk to brings the same blockers. Name them first — then fix them.
Directories outrank firms
Aggregators and directories are cited ahead of the firms they list, so the referral lands somewhere else.
Credentials stay invisible
Bar admissions, certifications and case history sit in prose the engines cannot attribute to a named person.
Local and expertise intent split
'Best [profession] in [city]' and '[profession] for [situation]' need different pages; most firms ship one.
No page per practice area
Firms publish one services page covering everything, so no page is specific enough to be the answer to anything.
How Prominara helps. One feature per blocker.

Professional Credentials
