Fractional CGO Services
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Redwood City Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your Redwood City practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Redwood City law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
Above the Silos
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Good leads slip between teams
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
