The Shift, in Brief
Why AI visibility matters, and the two lenses operators keep distinct.
The Operator's Guide to Answer Engine Optimization
The tools a legal tech marketing team needs to run AEO as an operational discipline — not a one-time audit, and not a blog series in a PDF.
- A ranked citation-source directory for legal tech — where AI answers actually come from
- A score-based action framework: what to do at 0–30, 31–60, and 61–80
- A worked, fully-redacted competitive-gap walk-through — why a competitor wins one prompt
- CRM-readiness checklist, a buyer-prompt library, and a 90-day operationalization plan
