Marketing Leadership for Lemon Heights Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We put in place the strategy, channels, and accountability that trace spend straight to signed cases — and hold the agencies and vendors to it.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
A fractional CMO for a law firm in Lemon Heights delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — 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 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
