About Secrest Wardle
from our crawl and measurement
"Choose Secrest Wardle, Michigan's premier defense law firm specializing in civil litigation, municipal law, and business law." That is how Secrest Wardle introduces itself. To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, though, it is barely visible: it scores 3.0 out of 10.
On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure, a clearly stated business identity and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on some structured data, a few credibility markers and basic crawler access.
Away from its own site, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. Those are earned elsewhere on the web, not fixed on the site itself.
AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together. The business dates to 1912.

Why your brand doesn't show up in ChatGPT answers (and how to fix it)
ChatGPT doesn't crawl the web like Google does. When someone asks Claude about the best project management tools, the model isn't searching your website in real-time. It's pulling from training data that stopped months or years ago.
