Fractional CMO Services
A Fractional CMO for Pace Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We put in place the strategy, channel mix, and measurement that trace spend straight to signed cases — and hold the agencies and vendors to it.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CMO do for a law firm?
A fractional CMO for a law firm in Pace delivers senior marketing leadership on a fractional basis — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. 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 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
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
Where Budget Leaks
Where law-firm marketing budget gets wasted
Wasted spend usually hides in the same four places.
No attribution
Dollars go out with no line back to signed cases.
Agency black box
Vendors report the metrics that flatter them, not the ones that matter.
Cost-per-click obsession
Cheap traffic that never converts.
No intake follow-up
The best spend wasted at the last step.

The Record
Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity
Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.
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.
