Legal & law firms: how AI-ready is it?
Legal is the least AI-ready sector on the web, at 77/100 - the profession built on precise language is being out-structured for the AI answer.
mean AEO score / 100 (49 top-ranking pages)
of 13 industries for AI-readiness
vs the 83.6 cross-industry average
Legal content scores lowest of every sector we measured, and it's a clean sweep of structural misses: 65% lack schema, more than half use statement headings, 41% have off-length meta descriptions, and it has the highest rate of thin pages. The expertise is real; the presentation gives an answer engine almost nothing clean to lift.
