How we measured this

We asked 10 questions a customer might ask about family lawyers in San Francisco, CA, once on each AI tool, through each tool's official API. For example:

  • My spouse just served me with divorce papers in San Francisco, CA. Which family lawyer should I call?
  • Who is the most trusted family lawyer in San Francisco, CA?
  • Which family law firm in San Francisco, CA is best for child custody?

Perplexity searches the web and shows its sources. Gemini (model knowledge) answers without a web search, from what the model learned in training, so its picks can be out of date. A language model read each answer and listed the businesses it named, and a business counts once per answer. These results describe what AI said on these dates. They are not a rating of any business's work.
