A Fractional CMO for Southbury Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We bring the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and hold the agencies and vendors to it.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
A fractional CMO for a law firm brings senior marketing leadership 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 a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: classic SEO alongside AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) 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
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
