LawCore AI — the system behind your visibility
LawCore AI is InterCore’s proprietary legal-marketing platform. It continuously monitors how AI engines describe your firm, engineers the structured signals that make you citable, automates client intake, and protects your local exclusivity — one system connecting every service on this page.
How is InterCore different from a traditional Detroit agency?
A traditional Detroit agency chases keyword rankings; InterCore makes your firm the answer AI engines recommend. We are built for GEO and AEO — entity consistency, schema and answer-first content — and we measure signed cases and AI citations, not clicks. Law-firm-only marketing, focused on AI search since 2002.
| Traditional agency | InterCore | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your clients search | Google keyword rankings | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity + Google AI Overviews |
| What gets optimized | Meta tags & backlinks | Entities, schema & AI citations |
| Success metric | Traffic & impressions | Signed cases & AI citation share |
| Who runs it | Generalist marketers | Ex-Google Marketing Director, law-firm-only since 2002 |
| Contract | 6–12 month lock-in | Month-to-month, you own everything |
How does the Detroit legal market differ from other Michigan markets?
Detroit is not interchangeable with the rest of Michigan. It sits in Wayne County, its cases run through different courts, and it even dials a different area code from markets an hour away. That is why a page written for one Michigan city cannot rank for another — and why we build each market on its own courts, county and firms rather than swapping a name.
| Market | County | Area code | Primary court |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detroit | Wayne County, MI | (313) | 36th District Court |
| Southfield | Oakland County, MI | (248) | 46th District Court - Southfield |
| Sterling Heights | Macomb County, MI | (586) | City of Sterling Heights - 41A District Court |
| Monroe | Monroe County, MI | (734) | Monroe County Courthouse |
What is AI legal marketing in Detroit?
AI legal marketing in Detroit is the practice of making a law firm the answer that AI search engines — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity — recommend when a local client asks for a lawyer.

| Approach | What it wins | Where it shows up |

| AEO — Answer Engine Optimization | Owning the direct answer to a question | Featured answers & Google AI Overviews |

Which law firms compete for AI visibility in Detroit?
When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a lawyer in Detroit, the answer names a short list — not a page of results. Established Detroit firms such as Marko Law Firm and Detroit Legal Group PLLC already work the same Wayne County courts and the same client pool, so the question is which of them an AI engine can resolve as an entity and name first. That is decided by structured data, consistent citations and answer-shaped content — not by ad spend.

Detroit AI legal marketing — answered
Yes. We provide AI-powered legal marketing and GEO services for firms in Detroit and across the U.S. — law-firm-only since 2002, with an office at 2870 E Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI 48202. We specialize in positioning Detroit attorneys inside the knowledge graphs of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
Through four core mechanisms: (1) structured Schema.org markup (LegalService, Person, Organization) that makes expertise machine-readable; (2) third-party citations across directories, bar associations and review platforms AI engines trust; (3) topical authority pages targeting local courts and practice areas; and (4) fact-dense, question-shaped content that answers the queries AI engines retrieve.
Combine three approaches: GEO gets your firm cited as a source by AI engines; AEO wins the featured answer and AI Overviews; and local SEO wins the Google map pack. We measure signed cases, not vanity traffic — clients average 18:1–21:1 ROI. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Pricing is month-to-month with no lock-in and scales with scope — practice areas, service-area breadth and content volume. We include a free 23-point AI-visibility audit, and you own all code, content and data we build.
Schema and technical fixes typically land within 1–3 weeks. AI citation share begins to compound within 60–90 days as topical authority builds around your practice areas and the local courts you serve.
Traditional agencies focus on Google keyword rankings and link building. We position your firm inside the knowledge graphs that power ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Founded by a former Google Marketing Director, we measure success by signed cases and AI citation share, and clients own their assets.
We specialize in personal injury, family law, criminal defense, employment law, estate planning, immigration, and bankruptcy. Each practice area receives dedicated local content built around the courts and tailored FAQ/schema for firms serving {city} and surrounding cities.
Start with a free, 23-point AI-visibility audit. We show exactly how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI currently describe your firm, which directories rank above you, and the prioritized action plan. Schedule a call or submit the audit form — results in about 48 hours.

Michigan attorney-advertising rules every law firm marketer must follow
Michigan follows the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct with no mandatory advertising filing or pre-review requirement. Attorneys may advertise freely provided communications comply with content standards prohibiting false/misleading statements and creating unjustified expectations about results. This makes Michigan a standard ABA-model state, more permissive than filing-required states like Florida and Texas.
False or misleading communications
MRPC 7.1A lawyer's communications with the public shall not be false, fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive, including material misrepresentations of fact or law; a lawyer may not create an unjustified expectation about the results they can achieve or make unsubstantiated comparisons of the lawyer's services.
Advertising — required identification & record-keeping
MRPC 7.2(b), (d)Every advertisement must identify the name and contact information of at least one lawyer responsible for the content (may appear on the firm's website homepage if space-limited); a copy of each advertisement must be kept for two years after its last dissemination with a record of when and where it was used.
Solicitation — prohibited direct contact methods
MRPC 7.3A lawyer may not solicit legal business by in-person contact, live telephone communication, or real-time electronic means when the lawyer has not previously represented the prospective client or family member; direct mail, email to specific addressees, and unsolicited posted information are permitted.
Specialization & board certification claims
MRPC 7.4A lawyer may communicate fields of practice or specialization only if permitted by law; advertising board certification (e.g., from the American Bankruptcy Board of Certification) is permitted, but generic 'specialist' claims without recognized certification must avoid creating unjustified expectations.
Trade names & firm identification
MRPC 7.5(a), (d)A lawyer may use a trade name only if it complies with MRPC 7.1 and does not imply government connection, affiliation with a government agency, or entities that do not exist; advertisements under trade names must include the responsible lawyer's name and contact information per MRPC 7.2(d).
Testimonials & client endorsements
MRPC 7.1 (Comment) & MRPC 7.2(c)Client endorsements are prohibited under MRPC 7.1 as they may create unjustified expectations; a lawyer may not give anything of value to a person for recommending the lawyer's services (MRPC 7.2(c) prohibition on compensation for referrals extends to endorsements).
