Marketing Leadership for Orangevale Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We install the strategy, channels, and accountability that tie every dollar to a signed case — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CMO do for a 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. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, the firm gets one executive who sets the plan, runs the vendors and budget, and answers for cost-per-case and ROI. 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
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
The Model
Every channel, scored by signed cases
We score channels on signed cases — not clicks — and reallocate toward what converts. Bars below are illustrative.
What We Measure
We measure the whole path, not the click
Agencies stop at the click. We follow each step to the only number that matters — cost per signed case.
Discovery
Where the client first finds you — tracked, not guessed.
Inquiry
Logged against the channel that drove it.
Qualified
Intake confirms fit before anyone spends time.
Won
The case is signed — and the cost to land it is known.
Repeat & referral
Happy clients feed the next wave of cases.
Get Found

Search split three ways. Each layer is won a different way.
