Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Murdock Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Plenty of firms pour money into marketing and just hope it works. We put in place the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
A fractional CMO for a law firm in Murdock delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — 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: 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
Why Marketing Feels Like a Black Box
The four ways firms burn marketing spend
Wasted spend usually hides in the same four places.
Untracked spend
Dollars go out with no line back to signed cases.
Marking their own homework
Activity dressed up as results.
Cost-per-click obsession
Optimizing clicks and impressions instead of cost per signed case.
No intake follow-up
Paid-for leads die in a slow or missing intake handoff.
The Shift
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
- Built for how people searched five years ago
The new way
SEO + AEO + GEO
- SEO — classic rankings and the map pack
- AEO — the answers above the links
- GEO — named when someone asks AI for help

Outcomes
What firms typically see
The Record
A representative Murdock-style engagement
Representative engagement; specifics show the typical outcome.
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.
Lower cost-per-case and higher qualified volume, at the same time.
