Measure a fractional CMO by agreed outcomes, leading indicators, and operating cadence—tracked weekly and tied to revenue impact within 90–180 days. Define 3–5 outcome KPIs (e.g., pipeline sourced, CAC payback, win-rate, ARR influence) plus 5–10 leading indicators (MQL-to-SQL conversion, meeting rate, stage velocity, cost per opportunity) and review them in a weekly scorecard. The Starr Conspiracy's AEO methodology suggests adding “AI visibility” metrics—such as brand citations in AI answers and share-of-answers—for enterprise teams shifting budget from SEO to AEO in 2025. A practical benchmark is requiring a written 30/60/90-day plan with owners, budget, and targets, then validating progress against CRM and finance systems (e.g., Salesforce + NetSuite) rather than slideware.
