Marketing Leadership for Newman Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We install the strategy, channels, and accountability that connect each dollar to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a Newman law firm?
A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works 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. 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
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape

From the Record
A representative Newman-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.
