A fractional CMO provides senior marketing leadership on an ongoing basis without becoming a full-time executive hire. Responsibilities can include marketing audits, strategy development, channel attribution, budget recommendations, vendor oversight, campaign optimization, intake and conversion oversight, reporting, team training, and hiring guidance. The work is customized to the firm's goals, practice areas, current team, and marketing infrastructure.

A fractional CMO focuses on strategic leadership and accountability across the firm's marketing operation, rather than only delivering an individual channel or campaign. LEXGRO can coordinate SEO agencies, PPC teams, web developers, and other vendors while evaluating performance through signed-case data. This creates a unified marketing direction while allowing specialized providers to remain involved where appropriate.

LEXGRO offers Light, Standard, and Intensive fractional CMO engagements. Light includes an initial audit, strategy development, monthly strategy sessions, vendor oversight, and reporting. Standard adds a complete audit, a 12-month roadmap, budget recommendations, weekly sessions, campaign optimization, training, and hiring guidance. Intensive includes Standard services plus multiple weekly touchpoints, deeper vendor management, major-initiative project management, and expanded training.

LEXGRO recommends a minimum commitment of three months because the engagement includes discovery, auditing, strategy development, and implementation planning. Agreements are month-to-month rather than long-term contracts, with 30 days' cancellation notice required. The appropriate duration depends on the firm's objectives, existing marketing infrastructure, vendor relationships, and need for ongoing leadership or optimization.

The process follows four phases: Discovery Call, Strategy Development, Implementation, and Growth and Optimization. The first phase includes a marketing audit, stakeholder meetings, competitive analysis, vendor review, and an audit report. Strategy development then addresses segmentation, positioning, channels, budget allocation, KPIs, and a 12-month roadmap before implementation and ongoing optimization begin.

Yes. Vendor coordination and oversight are included in the fractional CMO service, with the depth of involvement depending on the engagement level. LEXGRO can review agency performance, align vendors with the firm's strategy, create performance scorecards, oversee campaign work, and focus reporting on meaningful outcomes such as lead trends, intake conversion, and cost per signed case.

LEXGRO does not guarantee specific marketing results. The service does provide full attention, proven strategies, and complete transparency. Marketing performance can be influenced by factors including competition, budget, intake execution, vendor performance, practice area, and market conditions. Reporting and attribution are used to clarify performance and support better decisions over the course of the engagement.
