Marketing Leadership for Los Angeles Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We install the strategy, channel mix, and measurement that connect each dollar to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CMO, and why do Los Angeles firms hire one?
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. 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. 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 turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.
- 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

From the Record
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 unified tracking from first touch to signed case, scored every channel, cut the spend that wasn’t converting, and moved budget to the highest-ROI sources.
Cost per signed case dropped sharply while qualified volume climbed — after years of flying blind.
