Fractional CMO Services
A Fractional CMO for Palos Verdes Estates Law Firms — Where Marketing Is Measured in Signed Cases
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We put in place the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
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 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
