Quick Answer

What does a fractional CMO do for a Chelsea law firm?

A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — taking the strategy, channels, brand, lead gen, and attribution off your plate. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, the firm gets a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. We also future-proof your visibility for the new era of search: classic SEO alongside AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) so the firm shows up wherever clients now look.

  • A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
  • Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
  • Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first

Representative Engagement

A representative Chelsea-style engagement

Representative engagement; specifics show the typical outcome.

Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend

Budget was flowing to several agencies with no clear read on which channels produced signed cases.

We unified tracking from first touch to signed case, scored every channel, cut the spend that wasn’t converting, and moved budget to the highest-ROI sources.
