Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Soquel Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We install the plan, mix, and tracking that tie every dollar to a signed case — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CMO do for a Soquel law firm?
A fractional CMO for a law firm brings senior marketing leadership 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 one executive who sets the plan, runs the vendors and budget, and answers for cost-per-case and ROI. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: 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
