Quick Answer

What does a fractional CMO do for a Delano 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. 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
  • Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
  • Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
