The Fractional CMO Palmetto Bay Law Firms Trust to Turn Spend Into Cases
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We put in place the strategy, channel mix, and measurement 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 Palmetto Bay law firm?
A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works 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 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.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first
The Problem
The four ways firms burn marketing spend
Most firms can’t name their cost per signed case. Here’s where the money leaks.
Untracked spend
You can’t optimize what you can’t trace.
Marking their own homework
Vendors report the metrics that flatter them, not the ones that matter.
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.
Search Just Changed
How Palmetto Bay clients find a firm now
Where clients look has split three ways — and most firms only optimize for the old one.
The old way
Ten blue links
- Organic links and the map pack
- One channel, one kind of optimization
- A shrinking share of intent
Today
SEO + AEO + GEO
- SEO — classic rankings and the map pack
- AEO — the answers above the links
- GEO — surfaced inside AI tools and assistants
