In Short

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. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, 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.

  • 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
