Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Mayfield Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We put in place the strategy, channel mix, and measurement that connect each dollar to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CMO, and why do Mayfield firms hire one?
A fractional CMO for a law firm in Mayfield delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. 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

Outcomes
What firms typically see
From the Record
A representative Mayfield-style engagement
Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.
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.
