Fractional CMO Services
A Fractional CMO for Lantana Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We bring the strategy, channels, and accountability 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 Lantana law firm?
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. 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. 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.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
Where Budget Leaks
The four ways firms burn marketing spend
Wasted spend usually hides in the same four places.
No attribution
Dollars go out with no line back to signed cases.
Marking their own homework
Activity dressed up as results.
Vanity metrics
Cheap traffic that never converts.
Leads left to cool
The best spend wasted at the last step.
Search Just Changed
Search isn’t ten blue links anymore
Where clients look has split three ways — and most firms only optimize for the old one.
The old way
Classic search only
- Rank on Google and hope for the click
- One channel, one kind of optimization
- A shrinking share of intent
Today
SEO + AEO + GEO
- SEO — classic rankings and the map pack
- AEO — cited in AI overviews and snippets
- GEO — named when someone asks AI for help

Outcomes
What firms typically see
Representative Engagement
Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity
Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.
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.
Cost per signed case dropped sharply while qualified volume climbed — after years of flying blind.
