What is an AISO score?

An AISO score is defined as a 0-100 rating that measures how visible your website is to AI systems. It combines scores for traditional SEO, answer engine optimization, user engagement, and readability. A higher score means AI is more likely to cite your firm.

AEO refers to Answer Engine Optimization. It's the practice of structuring your website so AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google AI Overview can find and quote your content. For estate planning, this means clear definitions, FAQ content, and structured data.

Why do estate planning firms score low in AI visibility?

Most estate planning sites use complex legal language and vague service descriptions. AI needs clear, direct answers. When your site says "we provide comprehensive estate solutions" instead of defining what a trust is, AI skips you.

What estate planning questions do people ask AI?

The top questions are: Do I need a will? What's the difference between a will and a trust? What happens if I die without a will? How much does estate planning cost? Do I need a lawyer for a will?

How can estate planning attorneys get cited by AI?

Write clear definitions of every estate planning term. Create comparison pages. Answer common questions in 2-3 direct sentences. Add FAQ schema markup to help AI find and categorize your answers.

Does my estate planning site need structured data?

Yes. Without schema markup, AI systems struggle to understand what your site offers. Add FAQPage schema for your questions and LegalService schema for your practice areas at minimum.

What is the most important page for estate planning AI visibility?

A "Will vs. Trust" comparison page with clear definitions, a comparison table, and guidance on which one fits different situations. This single page addresses the most common AI query in estate planning.

How long does it take to improve my estate planning site's AI score?

Adding FAQ content and schema markup can improve your score within weeks. Writing definition-rich comparison pages takes more effort but produces the biggest long-term gains in AI citations.
