Fractional CMO Services
Fractional CMO Services for Claremont Law Firms: Stop Spending on Hope
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We bring the plan, mix, and tracking that tie every dollar to a signed case — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
Quick Answer
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. 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
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape

Field Note
A representative Claremont-style engagement

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.
Lower cost-per-case and higher qualified volume, at the same time.
