In Short

What does a fractional CMO do for a Van Nuys law firm?

A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, 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: classic SEO alongside AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) 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
