Clients search for lawyers on Google and ask ChatGPT for recommendations. Be visible in both places - without paying agency prices.
Legal keywords cost up to $1,000 per click. Large firms spend $10,000/month on SEO. Small firms can't compete - unless they do it themselves.
Google's AI Overviews answer questions directly. If your firm isn't creating content that AI can reference, you're invisible to modern searchers.
79% of lawyers started using AI in 2024. Your potential clients use it too - to find lawyers. ChatGPT recommends firms with strong online content and visibility.
Most agencies run the same tools we built into RateGather — and mark them up 10x. Here's the part that should make you angry.
No dashboard. No calendar. No post log. No HealthScore. Just an invoice every month and a "quarterly review" PDF that looks suspiciously like last quarter's.
If their work were any good, why do they need a contract to keep you? RateGather has no contract. You can leave any morning before coffee.
You email them on Monday. They reply Thursday. Their writer drafts on Tuesday. You see it Friday. You request a change. Two weeks gone. RateGather: you edit it yourself in 30 seconds.
Your agency runs SEO software, AI writers, schedulers, and review trackers — and bills you $2,000+ on top. RateGather is the tools. Same software. Same AI. None of the markup.
