A Fractional CMO for Folsom Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We bring the strategy, channels, and accountability that tie every dollar to a signed case — and hold the agencies and vendors to it.
In Short
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. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: traditional SEO plus AEO and GEO so the firm turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
