The Fractional CMO Big Bear City 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.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a 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. In place of a costly full-time CMO or a self-scoring vendor, 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 turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.
- 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
Where your marketing dollars actually convert
Most firms spread budget evenly and hope. We rank every channel by the cases it actually signs, then move money to the winners.
Lead to Signed
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.
Qualified
Intake confirms fit before anyone spends time.
Won
The case is signed — and the cost to land it is known.
Repeat & referral
Retention and referrals recycle into pipeline.
Three Layers of Visibility
SEO, AEO, and GEO — you need all three
Search split three ways. Each layer is won a different way.
Win the organic and local spots that still drive the most cases.
Show up inside the answers that increasingly replace the click.
Be the firm an AI assistant names when someone asks for help.
