Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Coolidge Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We bring the strategy, channels, and accountability that connect each dollar to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
In Short
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, 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
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
