Welcome to episode 325 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Nick Kringas, founder of LawShift, a company focused on AI business development for personal injury law firms. Nick previously co-founded ApricotLaw, where he helped generate more than $400 million in revenue for PI firms before pivoting his company to focus on what he calls the “AI visibility reset.” The conversation explores how AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are changing the way people find lawyers. Nick explains why the traditional SEO model built around search rankings is giving way to AI-generated recommendations and why many firms that invested heavily in SEO may now be “AI invisible.” He also shares practical insights into how law firms can begin adapting their marketing strategies so they appear in AI-driven answers rather than being left behind as the market shifts.

Why SEO Success Doesn’t Guarantee AI Visibility – What recent data revealed about law firms showing up in AI answers – Why traditional SEO authority does not automatically translate into AI recommendations 3.

Building AI Visibility for Your Firm – Why a holistic strategy matters more than relying on one tactic – Examples of platforms and signals AI systems use when recommending firms 5.
