In Short

What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?

A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — taking the strategy, channels, brand, lead gen, and attribution off your plate. 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. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: traditional SEO plus AEO and GEO so the firm turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.

  • One accountable owner for strategy, budget, vendors, and results
  • Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
  • Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first

Field Note

A representative Norwich-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.

Cost per signed case dropped sharply while qualified volume climbed — after years of flying blind.
