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: 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.

  • 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

From the Record

Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity

Representative engagement; specifics show the typical outcome.

Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend

Budget was flowing to several agencies with no clear read on which channels produced signed cases.

We connected attribution end-to-end, killed the dead spend, and reallocated to the winners.

Lower cost-per-case and higher qualified volume, at the same time.
