Fractional CMO for behavioral health: senior marketing and revenue leadership, month to month

Most programs have no senior marketer on staff. Our senior team steps in as your fractional CMO, CRO, COO, or CTO, month to month, and own the number: admits and revenue.

  • CMO, CRO, COO, and CTO leadership
  • A focus on conversion rate optimization
  • Month to month, no full-time hire

The Problem

Owners and executive directors are making marketing decisions alongside clinical, operations, and finance, often without a senior marketer in the room.

  • Vendors execute channels. Nobody owns the strategy, the funnel, or the number the board actually asks about.
  • A full-time CMO or CRO is a large fixed cost for a role many programs need part of the time, at a high level.

Conversion Rate Optimization

Turn the traffic you already have into more intakes.

Our fractional CRO work has a particular focus on website conversion rate optimization. We evaluate your site through the eyes of a family in crisis, streamline every intake touchpoint, and run structured A/B tests on landing pages, calls to action, and forms. Because every conversion is tracked as a key performance indicator, you see the lift in admits, not just in form fills.

  • Intake friction removed from CTAs, forms, and insurance verification pathways
  • Escalating-value conversion tracking from first inquiry to signed intake
  • Decisions made by the quarter and year over year, never on a bad week

The Process

How a fractional engagement runs.

  1. Diagnose

    A review of positioning, channels, funnel, tracking, and team, through the lens of census, cost per admit, and revenue. You get a written assessment of what is working, what is broken, and what to do first.

  2. Prioritize

    A rolling 90-day plan that names the highest-value moves, whether that is fixing tracking, restructuring paid, rebuilding conversion pathways, or leading the team.

  3. Lead & execute

    Your fractional executive leads the work, inside your team and alongside any vendors, with the operating discipline to keep it on schedule.

  4. Report & adjust

    Performance reviewed against captured baselines, by the quarter and year over year to account for seasonality, with honest recommendations for the next 90 days.

Results shown were achieved for specific clients, including results achieved by our team at their previous agencies. They are not typical and depend on budget, market, clinical offering, and intake execution. Oluna does not guarantee census, cost per admit, or rankings.

Who This Is For

This is for you if…

A quick read on fit. If most of these describe your program, we should talk.

  • You are a founder or operator serious about growth, without a senior marketer on staff.
  • You have vendors executing channels and nobody owning the funnel end to end.
  • You need someone to lead the team, fix what is broken, or scale what is already working.
  • You want executive-level direction on month-to-month terms, not a full-time hire.

01

What a fractional CMO for behavioral health does

A fractional CMO partners with your leadership team to align marketing with business goals, optimize acquisition channels, and build systems that turn marketing into a predictable census growth engine. Our Chief Marketing Officer has more than 13 years leading growth for behavioral health, healthcare, and other high-trust service organizations, including in-house executive roles, and steps in where facilities need it most.

02

Behavioral health fractional CRO: both meanings, one owner

In behavioral health, CRO means two things, and this engagement owns both. As a Chief Revenue Officer role, it connects marketing, admissions, and finance around one revenue plan. As conversion rate optimization, it is the discipline of turning more of your existing visitors into calls and verified intakes. That is why the fractional page and our behavioral health website design marketing work go together: the site is where conversion is won or lost.

03

The rest of the leadership bench

Our COO brings operational precision and clear, honest communication; our CTO brings closed-loop tracking, CRM integration, and AI systems. Whether you need one executive or all three, the engagement can run standalone or as leadership over our behavioral health marketing packages and any behavioral health digital marketing service we deliver.

Ask about fractional roles
How is a fractional CMO different from an agency?

An agency executes channels. A fractional CMO owns the strategy, the team, and the number: census and revenue. Ours can do both, leading your internal team and vendors or directing Oluna’s own execution.

What does the CRO role cover?

Both readings. As a Chief Revenue Officer function it aligns marketing, admissions, and finance around one revenue plan. As conversion rate optimization it systematically improves your website and intake pathways so more of the same traffic becomes signed intakes.

How much time does a fractional executive commit?

It is scoped to your needs and the current state of your marketing, on month-to-month terms. Fill out the form for a free custom quote.

Have you worked with treatment centers or behavioral health organizations before?

Yes. Our team has more than 45 years of combined experience in behavioral health and digital marketing, including in-house roles as VP of Marketing and Client Access in the recovery sector and Head of Marketing for a nationwide autism and behavioral health services company, and more than 30 behavioral health organizations served.

Can you show me real numbers, not just traffic or impressions?

Yes. We report qualified inquiries, verified admits, cost per admit, and return on ad spend, pulled from your CRM and call tracking rather than from the ad platforms alone. Our team’s track record includes growing direct admits by 256%, taking a clinic from under 100 to over 100,000 organic sessions a month, and adding $1.2 million in admit revenue in two months on the same ad spend. Results vary by program and market, and we will say so.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract? What happens if the census doesn’t move?

No. We offer month-to-month contracts, so you are never locked into a long commitment. If you are not happy with the work, you can cancel anytime. Clients from our team’s previous agencies have stayed on for more than 10 years on month-to-month terms. If the census is not moving, you will see that in the same report we do, and we will show you the data-backed adjustment before you ever have to ask.
