About getohdit
getohdit reviews South African law firms' websites for digital risk. It checks the public site against the LPC Code of Conduct publicity rules, POPIA, basic security, search and Google listings, and whether AI assistants can find and cite the firm, then sets out what to fix first.

What an assessment checks
Seven pillars, reviewed from outside on the firm's publicly accessible pages:
- Discovery: the technology, subdomains and third-party scripts on the site.
- LPC Conduct: the site's wording against the LPC Code of Conduct publicity rules.
- POPIA: tracking before consent, and whether the privacy notice is complete.
- Security: TLS, security headers and exposed admin paths, observed from outside.
- SEO: Core Web Vitals, structured data and on-page search signals.
- AI Readiness: whether ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI answers cite the firm.
- Path to Action: the route from landing page to enquiry, on desktop and mobile.
The full scope is on the law firm assessment page, and an example is in the sample report.
