The Short Version

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 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
  • Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
  • Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
