Market read
Madison's legal market shows median review counts of 149 for top-3 firms (internal benchmark, Apr 2026), yet zero of these leaders appear in ChatGPT citations for personal injury queries. This gap signals review volume alone doesn't drive AI visibility. Top-3 firms average 4.91 star ratings with 1.83 monthly review velocity, while spam comprises 50% of their review bases—a structural inefficiency suggesting quality moderation weakness across the category. Pack-entry firms need 44 reviews minimum to compete in this medium-density tier. For p25 entrants targeting top-3 status, the data implies review authenticity matters more than raw count. Increasing velocity while reducing spam exposure would shift competitive positioning faster than volume accumulation alone.
