Goal Summary:
Newsroom PR has been working with R.J. Dreiling since Jan. 1, 2026. The team put together a report that takes a close look at RJ’s online presence and how easily he shows up in major large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini. We compared his visibility in 2025 (before the campaign) with where things stand in April 2026 (during the active campaign).
In addition, we pulled recommendations for additional PR and marketing efforts that could help continue to boost his and Dreiling Law’s overall profile and online authority.
Key Findings:
The campaign successfully shifted R.J.’s media exposure from a focus on legacy cases to a high-volume, real-time expert commentary strategy. This resulted in a significant increase in the volume, timeliness, and diversity of media placements, dramatically boosting his online and LLM discoverability.

Online/AI discoverability then vs. now:
The primary change is the shift from leveraging legacy high-profile cases (Menendez brothers) to consistently generating new, real-time commentary on breaking news. This strategy has resulted in fresh, date-stamped media hits across a wider variety of platforms (Broadcast TV, national and local online news). The consistent flow of new citations in 2026 ensures that R.J. appears as an analyst for current legal stories.
Additional recommendations based on LLM discoverability influencing factors:
Newsroom PR has played an instrumental role helping R.J. successfully building a strong profile centered on timely, high-volume legal commentary in top-tier media outlets. To further raise his visibility and strengthen discoverability in AI models, we recommend increasing proactive thought leadership, strategic content creation, and litigation-related publicity.
Here are the key opportunities we see:
- Publicize successful litigation outcomes (such as the juvenile murder and vehicular manslaughter cases) and create media opportunities to discuss case strategy where appropriate.
- Place bylined articles in trade publications like Law.com’s Daily Journal and Law360, focusing on R.J.’s areas of expertise.
- Develop thought leadership around timely topics, including:
- The long-term effects of county-wide policy changes on the treatment of serious juvenile cases.
- The case for implementing an evidentiary privilege for custodial group therapy and its importance for due process.
- Maintain a steady, consistent media presence.
While we’ve built a solid foundation in both local and national news outlets, we will continue generating regular placements and look for opportunities for ongoing news contributions.
Optimize Digital and Social Platform Engagement
R.J.’s current LLM profile depends heavily on external media citations. His direct digital channels — social media profiles and the business website — remain largely untapped for improving discoverability.
Newsroom PR can assist to strengthen SEO and create original content that can be amplified across social platforms. This includes issuing quick, searchable commentary on breaking legal news, policy changes, and court decisions.
We also recommend producing short-form video content in which R.J. breaks down complex legal concepts in simple, digestible ways — for example, “The Insanity Defense in California.” This type of owned content helps LLMs index R.J. more effectively and further solidifies his expertise in key niches.
