Fractional CMO Services in Pedley
The Fractional CMO Pedley Law Firms Trust to Turn Spend Into Cases
Too often the budget goes out and no one can say what came back. We put in place the plan, mix, and tracking that connect each dollar 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 is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — taking the strategy, channels, brand, lead gen, and attribution off your plate. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, 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 turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
