A Fractional CMO for Oakley Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases

In Short

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. 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. 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.

  • 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

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.
