What Does A Fractional CMO Actually Do?

Q: From your perspective, how does a Fractional CMO build strategic and operational capability in an organization?

By upskilling the internal team, aligning cross‑functional functions around a single customer journey, and using structured audits and workshops to surface gaps and priorities, then driving a concise plan for 12–24 months.

Where SEO Is Heading in 2025 & Beyond

Q: What three things should marketers be doing differently now for their search strategies going forward?

Redistribute and refresh older, high-authority content into new formats like YouTube videos; increase emphasis on brand search and digital PR to broaden brand presence; and engage in cross-functional planning with leadership to adapt content strategy to what audiences will search for in AI-enabled environments.

Where SEO Is Heading in 2025 & Beyond

Q: And do you think AI mode has only just come through and it's not just another typical Google algorithm update. It's kind of a big thing, isn't it?

AI mode represents a paradigm shift in how users discover brands. If supported by a broader rollout, core updates may become less frequent, with AI-mode-driven personalization dominating search experiences. Marketers should prepare for a more multi-channel landscape where traditional SEO still matters but is complemented by digital PR, brand signals, and content distribution across platforms.

Where SEO Is Heading in 2025 & Beyond

Q: So, Ryan, what does AI mean for the traditional playbook? And how should marketers think about optimization, especially when search is becoming less keyword driven and more hyper-personalized?

AI means top-of-funnel queries may be answered directly by AI, reducing reliance on traditional top-funnel SEO. Marketers should shift focus toward mid-to-bottom funnel content, digital PR, and ensuring brands are mentioned across the web to build a recognizable presence that AI can reference. Structured data and multi-channel content become increasingly important to support personalized discovery.

What Is a Fractional CMO

Q: What does an engagement typically look like month to month?

It starts with a clear plan aligned to business objectives, with regular strategic sessions, leadership of the marketing team or agencies, and a flexible cadence that scales with the company's needs and key periods like product launches or rebrands.
