The Fractional CMO Chandler Law Firms Trust to Turn Spend Into Cases
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We put in place the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CMO, and why do Chandler firms hire one?
A fractional CMO for a law firm brings senior marketing leadership part-time — 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. 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
The Model
Every channel, scored by signed cases
We score channels on signed cases — not clicks — and reallocate toward what converts. Bars below are illustrative.
The Path
We measure the whole path, not the click
Agencies stop at the click. We follow each step to the only number that matters — cost per signed case.
First touch
Where the client first finds you — tracked, not guessed.
Inquiry
Captured and attributed to its true source.
Screened
Intake confirms fit before anyone spends time.
Won
Closed, with cost-per-case attached.
Repeat & referral
Retention and referrals recycle into pipeline.
Modern Search
SEO, AEO, and GEO — you need all three
Clients ask Google, AI overviews, and assistants — each rewards different work.
Win the organic and local spots that still drive the most cases.
Land in the AI overviews and snippets that now sit above the links.
Be the firm an AI assistant names when someone asks for help.
