Frequently Asked Questions
How do family law attorneys find new clients through Google?
Almost entirely through the Maps top 3 for practice area + city searches, plus Google AI Overview citations for process questions ('how does mediation work', 'how is custody decided in SA'). Family law prospects research extensively before they call, and the firms surfaced repeatedly across both Maps and AI answers tend to win the consultation.
Do family law clients really use AI assistants?
Yes — particularly for the early-stage research questions that lead up to a consultation booking. ChatGPT and Gemini are routinely used to understand process, costs, timelines, and what questions to ask before contacting an attorney. Firms cited in those answers build trust before the prospect ever reaches their website.
How competitive is the family law market in Pretoria?
Highly competitive in the Maps pack — there are many established family law firms in Hatfield, Rosebank, and the Eastern Suburbs. AI visibility is significantly less contested and is where most of the easy gains currently sit.
