Quick Answer

What does a fractional CMO do for a San Dimas 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. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, 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
  • Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
  • Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
