Marketing Leadership for Los Nietos Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We put in place the strategy, channels, and accountability that connect each dollar to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
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. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, the firm gets one executive who sets the plan, runs the vendors and budget, and answers for cost-per-case and ROI. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: 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.
- One accountable owner for strategy, budget, vendors, and results
- Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
