Quick Answer

What does a fractional CMO do for a Moraga law firm?

A fractional CMO for a law firm brings senior marketing leadership part-time — taking the strategy, channels, brand, lead gen, and attribution off your plate. 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: 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.

  • One accountable owner for strategy, budget, vendors, and results
  • Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
  • 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 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.
