UK Law Firm Websites Scored Zero Across Every AI
Three UK law firm websites were checked for AI visibility signals. All three scored zero on every measure: no schema, no Organisation schema, no Person.
Last updated: March 2026
We checked 30 UK SME websites across nine industries for AI-readable signals. Law firms were the only industry to score zero on every single measure.
TL;DR
- 3 UK law firm websites were included in our check of 30 SMEs
- All three had: no schema markup, no Organisation schema, no Person schema, no FAQ schema, no sameAs links, no llms.txt, no FAQ content, and no detectable About, Contact or Privacy pages at standard paths
- Law firms were the only industry in our sample to score zero across every signal we measured
- This is notable because legal services depend heavily on individual expertise, trust and reputation - exactly the qualities AI systems try to assess when generating recommendations
- We are not suggesting these firms are invisible to AI, but the structured signals that help AI systems understand them are absent
What we checked
As part of a broader check across 30 UK SME websites, we included three law firm websites:

For each site, we checked:
- llms.txt file presence
- robots.txt AI crawler configuration
- Schema markup (any type)
- Organisation schema
- Person schema
- FAQ schema
- sameAs social profile links
- FAQ content (question-style headings)
- About page at /about
- Contact page at /contact
- Privacy policy at /privacy or /privacy-policy
