Outlined: a list, directory, booking site or forum. Crossed out: a foreign directory with nothing to do with Sofia. ## Four lessons for lawyers and law firms in Sofia - ### One lawyer named by all three Of 87 lawyers and firms, only Адвокат Росица Астакова (Lawyer Rositsa Astakova) was named by all three assistants, for divorce and for an English-speaking lawyer. - ### Specialists win specialist questions For employment law, Адвокат Венислава Цанкова (Lawyer Venislava Tsankova) came up in 5 of 9 answers, and her own website was cited 9 times. A page that says clearly what you specialise in gets read. - ### No map, so directories and embassies decide Google showed no map for any lawyer question. The assistants read Lawzana, the US Embassy's list of lawyers (12 citations each) and oink.bg (11). - ### English speakers get a different list Asked in English, the assistants named Borislavova & Ivanov Law Firm (6 of 9 answers) and YARD Law Co. (5), firms that present themselves in English. ## What the assistants got wrong - ### A Russian directory, for Sofia - zoon.ru, a Russian business directory, was cited 9 times for lawyers in Sofia. ## What law firms in Sofia can do **0** of 6 checked on your site 1. ### Say clearly what you specialise in The lawyer most named for employment law had her own website cited 9 times. One clear page per area of law. 2. ### Get on the embassy and directory lists Lawzana and the US Embassy list were cited 12 times each. Embassies keep lists of English-speaking lawyers. 3. ### Create a Google Business Profile Google showed no map for lawyers. The field is open. 4. ### Use one name, one phone and one address everywhere In Bulgarian and in Latin letters, identical on your site, Google, Facebook and every directory. Every new spelling splits you in two. 5. ### Add an English page The English question brought a different list almost every time. Say in English what you offer and who speaks English. 6. ### Ask the assistants about yourself every month The four questions on this page are a good start. Fix any wrong fact where it comes from. ## Questions ### Which lawyer in Sofia does AI recommend? Only one was named by all three assistants: Адвокат Росица Астакова (Lawyer Rositsa Astakova). Most of the 87 lawyers and firms were named by one assistant only. ### How can law firms in Sofia get recommended by ChatGPT? ChatGPT leans on Google Maps, so start with a complete and exact Google Business Profile. Then use one name everywhere, be on the lists the assistants read for your sector, and say plainly on your own site what you do and what it costs, in euro. ### How did you test this? We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity the four questions on this page, three times each, on 30 October 2026, and searched the same questions on Google from Sofia.
