In Short

What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?

A fractional CMO for a law firm in Cerritos delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. 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: traditional SEO plus AEO and GEO 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
  • Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape

Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity

Representative engagement; specifics show the typical outcome.

Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend

Budget was flowing to several agencies with no clear read on which channels produced signed cases.

We connected attribution end-to-end, killed the dead spend, and reallocated to the winners.

Lower cost-per-case and higher qualified volume, at the same time.
