In Short

What does a fractional CMO do for a Cheshire 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. In place of a costly full-time CMO or a self-scoring vendor, 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 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

Representative Engagement

Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity

Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.

Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend

Heavy spend across vendors, but nobody could say what was driving 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.
