Fractional CMO for CEOs done with disconnected marketing. Your ads, funnel, and strategy should work together — not against each other. I fix the system and scale what works. $100M+ revenue. 11:1 ROAS. Yeah, really. (Check the case study.)
I'm ready when you are. If you want to take the jump to the next level for your business, keep reading...
Strategy says one thing, ads say another, and your funnel leaks everywhere. You've hired specialists who optimize their piece but no one owns the whole picture.
That's what a Fractional CMO solves. I step in as your marketing leader — owning strategy, execution, and results.
📈 What I've Delivered as a Fractional CMO:
→ $12.3M revenue added for a supplement brand (scaled from $500/day to $10K/day ad spend)
→ 11.1x ROAS for pet tech e-commerce — took them from negative ROAS to $100K/week in ad spend
→ $30M+ in ad spend managed across Meta, Google, and YouTube
→ $100M+ in total client revenue generated
🔧 My Fractional CMO Services:
✅ Marketing strategy & positioning — clarify your message, offer, and audience
✅ Full-funnel paid media — Meta Ads, Google Ads, YouTube
✅ Direct response copywriting — ads, landing pages, emails that convert
✅ Funnel & landing page optimization — fix the leaks, increase conversion
✅ Marketing audits & roadmaps — find what's broken, prioritize what matters
✅ Team leadership & vendor management — run your marketing like a real CMO
🎯 Best For:
DTC / E-commerce brands ready to scale past $50K/month
Local service businesses (solar, home services, contractors)
Supplement & fitness companies
Businesses ready for Fractional CMO leadership without the $250K+ full-time hire

If you're ready for a Fractional CMO who owns the outcome — not just the strategy deck — message me. Let's see if we're a fit.
I work with founders and leadership teams that have a good product or service but need stronger positioning, better conversion, more qualified leads, or senior marketing leadership to bring everything together. I help companies figure out what is stopping growth, fix it, and turn marketing into a more focused customer-acquisition system.
My work typically includes:
Fractional CMO and senior marketing leadership
Go-to-market strategy
Brand positioning and messaging
Lead generation and customer acquisition
Website and conversion strategy
Paid media and campaign strategy
SEO and organic growth
CRM, funnels and marketing automation
30-, 60- and 90-day growth roadmaps
Management of designers, developers, agencies and marketing specialists
Recent results
Increased qualified leads by 300% for a B2B services company
Nearly doubled organic traffic for a multi-location industrial company
Generated approximately 170% direct ROI from paid campaigns, with significantly higher returns when customer lifetime value was included
Secured a six-figure sponsorship partnership through positioning, outreach and deal development
Built and repositioned brands, websites and acquisition programs across B2B, SaaS, consumer products, automotive, healthcare, professional services and ecommerce
I began my career in advertising and creative direction and have spent more than 25 years working across brand, marketing, digital, ecommerce and growth.
My experience includes work connected to brands such as American Express, Jeep, Chrysler, Kleenex, Land Rover, Mazda, NVIDIA, SEGA, Vail Resorts, BBDO and Dentsply Sirona.
What makes my approach different is that I do not stop at a strategy deck. I can diagnose the problem, establish the priorities, develop the positioning and growth plan, and then work with your team to get it implemented. That may mean rewriting the customer journey, restructuring a website, improving the offer, directing paid media, building a lead-generation system, briefing creative teams, setting up CRM workflows, or deciding which marketing activities should be stopped entirely.
I am especially useful when:
Marketing activity is happening but results are inconsistent
Lead quality or conversion has stalled
The company has outgrown founder-led marketing
Positioning is unclear or undifferentiated
Too many channels are being pursued without a clear priority
A launch or GTM initiative needs senior ownership
You need an experienced marketing lead without hiring a full-time CMO
I am Expert-Vetted on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score. If you have a growth, positioning, acquisition or marketing problem, send me your website and tell me what you are trying to improve. I can usually determine pretty quickly where I can add value.

Are you tired of wasting money on marketing that never works?
Burned by SEO “experts” who overpromise and underdeliver?
Relying too heavily on paid ads without seeing sustainable growth?
Want more qualified traffic and leads, but don’t know who to trust?
I help businesses build predictable, compounding organic traffic by combining proven SEO strategies with AIO (AI Overviews) optimization — so you can rank faster, convert more, and future-proof your search presence in the AI era.
This concept is the revolution of ranking on ChatGPT search and more.
With 20+ years in digital marketing, I’ve scaled 100+ websites I own and manage, plus dozens of client brands. I’ve also been Expert-Vetted on Upwork since 2016, with nearly $1M in consulting revenue and 100+ 5-star reviews.
This isn’t theory — it’s the same approach I’ve used to:
- Build a $5M+ business in the violin niche using SEO
- Rank new content in Google AI Overviews within days
- Drive 6,500+ leads in just 3 days for a client campaign
- Grow my own YouTube channel to 70,000+ subscribers through SEO
You’re a great fit for my services if you:
- Run an established online business making $50K–$500K annually
- Offer services or products (coaching, courses, SaaS, e-comm, etc.)
- Have wasted $2K–$10K+/mo on marketing that didn’t move the needle
- Want a long-term, AIO/SEO-driven system — not a one-off tactic
- Prefer working directly with someone who has built and scaled businesses from scratch
I’m Michael Sanchez — SEO and AIO strategist with a track record of helping good businesses win online without relying on paid ads.
