Marketing Leadership for Healdsburg Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We bring the strategy, channel mix, and measurement that connect each dollar to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CMO, and why do Healdsburg firms hire one?
A fractional CMO for a law firm brings senior marketing leadership 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 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: 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
