Fractional CMO Services
Fractional CMO Services for Marina Law Firms: Stop Spending on Hope
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We install the plan, mix, and tracking that connect each dollar to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CMO do for a Marina 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 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
- Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
What Actually Signs Cases
Every channel, scored by signed cases
Most firms spread budget evenly and hope. We rank every channel by the cases it actually signs, then move money to the winners.

Representative engagement; specifics show the typical outcome.
Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend
