The Fractional CMO Echo Park Law Firms Trust to Turn Spend Into Cases
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We install the strategy, channel mix, and measurement that trace spend straight to signed cases — and hold the agencies and vendors to it.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
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. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, 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
