Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Rodeo Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We install the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and put results, not reports, on every agency.
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 a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. 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.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
- Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape

Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend
Budget was flowing to several agencies with no clear read on which channels produced signed cases.
