What we observed in this categoryauto-generated

Long Hagan Huff-Harris (lhhlegal.com) holds a commanding lead in AI visibility at 12.5%, against a category average of just 0.8% — a gap of more than 15x. Every other tracked brand, including ranks 3 through 10, sits at 0.0% visibility. This is not a competitive landscape; it is a near-monopoly at the top of AI Overviews presence, with Long Hagan Huff-Harris being the only brand to have registered any meaningful movement, rising from 0.0% in the prior period.

Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, LLP presents the clearest divergence between visibility and citation in this category: it holds 0.0% visibility yet a 25.0% citation rate — the highest citation rate of any brand in the dataset. This means Google AI Overviews is actively referencing Wilkinson & Finkbeiner as a trusted source within answers without surfacing the brand prominently in named responses. Long Hagan Huff-Harris is the inverse: 12.5% visibility but 0.0% citation, suggesting it is named but not linked as a source document.

The top cited sources list is dominated by domains not ranked in the top 5 brands — katesbarlow.com, mavrideslaw.com, ligris.com, bowditch.com, and others — indicating that Google AI Overviews is anchoring its sourcing on firms outside the visibility rankings. massdivorceattorney.net (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner) is the only overlap between the cited sources list and the ranked brands, reinforcing that the AI draws on a different pool of authority signals for citation than for brand mention.

How to read this ranking

Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.

Visibility = being named

A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.

Citation rate = being trusted

Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.

Top engine differs by brand

The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.

Rankings move month to month

AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
