Wayne County
It is the first week of the month in Wayne County and the invoices land at once: the ad agency, the website person and the person who posts on social. Each report says things are going well, and none of them tells you how many clients came from the money.
A fractional CMO sits on your side of the table. They set one plan, one budget and one scoreboard, tie every lead back to its source, and hold each vendor to the numbers that matter to you.
Marketing stops being a pile of bills. You know what each channel brings, you cut what does not work without guilt, and you put more behind what fills your calendar with the projects you want.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.
84% of Wayne County accounting firms have no website, so an accounting firm with real pages for each town starts ahead of 517 competitors.

What we report every month: Cost per lead and per booked project by channel, Lead volume against plan, Booking rate from leads, and Revenue traced to marketing.
A fractional CMO owns your marketing strategy part time. They decide where the budget goes, set the message, manage the agencies and freelancers, and report results in terms you care about, like booked projects and revenue. They do not replace your vendors. They make your vendors accountable.
Cost depends on how many channels and vendors are in play, how much hands-on work you want versus pure direction, and whether tracking needs to be built from scratch. A business with one location and a couple of vendors needs less time than a brand with several locations. Once we understand the setup, the role is priced as one flat monthly fee.
An agency sells and runs specific services, so its advice tends to point toward what it sells. A fractional CMO has no channel to push. The best setups use both: the CMO sets direction and the budget, and the agency executes against targets the CMO tracks.
A good plan starts with the clients you want, the projects with the best margin and the months you need to fill. In Michigan, weather and the school calendar move demand more than most owners expect, so the plan shifts budget ahead of the busy and slow stretches instead of reacting to them.
Ask how they measure success, and listen for booked projects and revenue, not impressions or likes. Look for someone who has managed real budgets in businesses like yours and who is comfortable telling a vendor no. Their monthly report should be something a busy owner can read in one sitting.
Cheapest on paper, but marketing gets your leftover hours and vendors know nobody is checking.
Full attention, but a senior salary for a budget that may not be large enough to justify it.
A senior marketing lead part time who owns the plan, the budget and the vendors, and reports in booked projects.
