The Fractional CMO Cobalt Law Firms Trust to Turn Spend Into Cases
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We install the plan, mix, and tracking that connect each dollar to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
Quick Answer
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 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: 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
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
