A Fractional CMO for Morgan Hill Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We install the strategy, channels, and accountability that trace spend straight to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CMO do for a 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 turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.
- One accountable owner for strategy, budget, vendors, and results
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
