Quick Answer

What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?

A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, the firm gets one executive who sets the plan, runs the vendors and budget, and answers for cost-per-case and ROI. We also future-proof your visibility for the new era of search: traditional SEO plus AEO and GEO so the firm shows up wherever clients now look.

  • One accountable owner for strategy, budget, vendors, and results
  • Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
  • Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape

Field Note

Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity

Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.

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.

Cost per signed case dropped sharply while qualified volume climbed — after years of flying blind.
