Immaculate Vibes - Building an AI-Literate Organization

Executive Summary On this episode of Adventures in Legal Tech, Jared Correia talks with Phillip Greer, CEO of Best Lawyers, about how AI is rewriting the rules of legal search and firm operations. Greer breaks down the real differences between SEO, AEO, and GEO, then explains how he turned his own company into a shop full of vibe coders. It's a practical look at getting found online and getting comfortable with AI at the same time.

Key Takeaways SEO isn't dead. It's the foundation that feeds AEO and GEO, the practices that get law firms found inside AI search tools and chatbots.

Quality, well-structured content and citations from reputable third-party sites matter more than backlink farming ever did.

Legal consumers across every generation are shifting from typed search terms to conversations with AI tools, often without realizing it.

Building an AI-literate firm starts with a safe, governed environment where non-technical staff can experiment without touching client data.

Start small. Pick something fun, not a client matter, to learn how an AI tool handles data before you roll anything out firmwide.
