The Short Version

What does a fractional CMO do for a 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. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, 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 shows up wherever clients now look.

  • 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

What Actually Signs Cases

Every channel, scored by signed cases
