Smokeball Smokeball: AI Visibility Report

smokeball.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about legal practice management, Smokeball ranks #3 of 15, a Visibility Score of 58 in Legal Practice Management .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Smokeball

Smokeball owns one room but rarely controls it.

Where it wins. A 77.8% mention rate in Legal Practice Management puts Smokeball in nearly four out of five AI-generated conversations about practice software, and a rank of 3 out of 15 confirms it belongs in the shortlist.

Where it loses. A 2.8% first-pick rate means buyers hear the name but models hand the recommendation to someone else, and Smokeball never surfaces when enterprise buyers ask, leaving that segment entirely to Clio and its peers.
