Marketing Leadership for Helena Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We install the strategy, channel mix, and measurement that tie every dollar to a signed case — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
A fractional CMO for a law firm in Helena delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — taking the strategy, channels, brand, lead gen, and attribution off your plate. In place of a costly full-time CMO or a self-scoring vendor, the firm gets a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: 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
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
