Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Pleasant Hill 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 trace spend straight to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CMO, and why do Pleasant Hill firms hire one?
A fractional CMO for a law firm in Pleasant Hill delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — 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: 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
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first

Field Note
A representative Pleasant Hill-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.
Lower cost-per-case and higher qualified volume, at the same time.
