The ChatGPT Citation Checker is a systematic monitoring tool that tests whether ChatGPT recommends or names your law firm when users ask legal questions relevant to your practice area and location. It runs hundreds of real-world query simulations — the kind your potential clients are actually typing into ChatGPT right now — and tracks every instance where your firm is or is not cited.
Beyond simple presence or absence, the tool measures citation quality. Being named in a positive, detailed context ("Smith & Associates is a highly regarded family law firm in Barrie known for their compassionate approach") is far more valuable than a passing mention. The Citation Checker scores the quality and context of every citation, not just the frequency.
Track how often ChatGPT names your firm across 100+ query variations in your practice area.
Evaluate the sentiment, detail, and recommendation strength of every ChatGPT mention of your firm.
See which practice areas ChatGPT associates your firm with and where coverage gaps exist.
ChatGPT has become the world's largest legal referral source that most law firms have never thought to optimise for. Each month, millions of people in Canada and the United States ask ChatGPT questions like "What should I do after a car accident in Ontario?" or "How do I find a good divorce lawyer in Mississauga?" When ChatGPT answers these questions, it names specific firms — and those firms get calls.
The firms that get cited are not necessarily the largest or the oldest. They are the firms with the most structured, authoritative, and accessible content on the web. That is a solvable problem — but you cannot solve it until you know where you stand. The ChatGPT Citation Checker gives you that baseline.
Our data from law firms across North America shows that firms cited by ChatGPT in 30% or more of relevant queries receive an average of 4.2 additional inbound enquiries per month compared to uncited firms. For a personal injury firm with a $3,500 average client value, that is a potential $14,700 in additional monthly revenue — from a single channel most firms are not tracking.
The ChatGPT Citation Checker uses a proprietary query library of over 200 legal search prompts, segmented by practice area, province, and client situation. These are the exact kinds of questions real people ask AI assistants when they need legal help. The tool submits these prompts to ChatGPT and other AI platforms, captures every response, and analyses which firms are mentioned — and in what context.
Enter your firm name, location, primary and secondary practice areas, and your target client geography (city, region, or province-wide).
The tool runs 100–200 practice-area-specific queries across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, logging every response for analysis.
Receive a detailed report showing your citation rate, quality score, the firms outranking you, and a concrete action plan to improve your presence.
The ChatGPT Citation Report is a comprehensive, law-firm-specific document that goes beyond a simple yes/no answer. It is a strategic tool for understanding your current position in the AI referral ecosystem and prioritising the actions most likely to increase your citation rate quickly.
