Fractional CMO Services
Fractional CMO Services for Badger Law Firms: Stop Spending on Hope
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We bring the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a Badger 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. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, the firm gets a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. We also future-proof your visibility for the new era of search: 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.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first

From the Record
A representative Badger-style engagement
Representative engagement; specifics show the typical outcome.
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.
