We put the questions a Dublin client actually asks to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and recorded which of 67 firms each engine names. Only 6 consistently appear - the rest are invisible in the channel clients increasingly start with.
When a Dublin client asks AI for an immigration law firm, the same handful of names come back - Sinnott Solicitors, KOD Lyons, IMK Law Solicitors, McGrath Mullan Solicitors, MS Solicitors. The other 61 firms, including most with strong reputations and busy practices, rarely surface at all. 63% of the cohort is effectively invisible in AI search.
Real, unedited answers from the study - the same handful of names recur, question after question.
Visibility = share of AI answers naming the firm. The full ranking of all 67 firms, with each one's band, is available on request.
