Is your attorney bio worth citing?
Paste one attorney's bio page. You'll get the seven signals that make a lawyer legible to a search or answer engine — Person schema, a named attorney, bar admissions, education, enough substance to read, a direct way to make contact, and the profiles that corroborate them.
These are on-page signals only. A complete bio doesn't mean an engine cites the attorney — citation depends on authority built off your site, which no page checker can measure. Want the whole site graded? Run the free AEO checker
What should an attorney bio page include?
Seven things carry most of the weight: the attorney’s name as the page heading, Person schema naming them and the firm, the jurisdictions they’re admitted in, their law school and degree, enough written substance to actually learn something, a direct email or phone, and links to the profiles they already have. Most law firm bios have two or three of those.
Does a better attorney bio get you cited by ChatGPT?
On its own, no — and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. A complete bio makes an attorney legible: it states checkable facts and lets an engine tie the same person together across sources. Whether you get cited depends on authority built off your own site, which no page-level tool can measure or manufacture.
Why does Person schema matter for a lawyer?
It removes ambiguity about who someone is. A Person block with a name, a job title, the firm they work for, and links to their other profiles tells a machine that the Jane Doe on your site is the Jane Doe quoted in a trade publication. Without it, an engine is guessing from text alone.
Should I list bar admissions on an attorney bio?
Yes, and it’s the most commonly missing item this tool finds. A bar admission is a public, verifiable credential tied to a named person in a named jurisdiction — exactly the sort of fact that corroborates well. Check your own state bar’s advertising rules for how to word it.
