In Short

What does a fractional CMO do for a Fremont 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 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

The Model

Representative Engagement

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.

Cost per signed case dropped sharply while qualified volume climbed — after years of flying blind.
