Fractional CMO services for founder-led businesses.

Fractional CMO Services for Businesses Ready to Lead Their Next Stage of Growth

Sorbet Labs delivers fractional CMO services for founder-led businesses that prefer to outsource marketing instead of building a full team. We work out of Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, with clients across the United States and India.

Whether you call it an outsourced CMO or outsourced marketing, our fractional CMO services give you senior direction, a plan built around your business, and the design, content, search, and media specialists to carry it out.

Our approach

We Do Not Just Push Ads. We Build Growth That Lasts.

Many partners earn more when your ad budget grows. We take no commission on ad spend, so our fractional CMO services can recommend whatever works for your business: search, content, email, or a smaller media budget. We want to work with founders who want to grow sustainably, not rent attention for a quarter. Outsourced marketing should never feel like a black box, so an outsourced CMO from Sorbet Labs shows you the plan and the numbers.

No commission on ads

We earn from results and partnership, never from your media spend, so our advice stays honest.

Tailored, never one-size-fits-all

Every plan starts with your market, customers, and goals, so you never receive a template.

Sustainable growth first

Search, content, brand, and email compound over time. Ads support them, not replace them.

What we lead

Four Systems, One Growth Plan

Each system in our fractional CMO services works on its own, and they work best together.

Why it matters now

Being Found in AI Answers Matters Right Now

Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews who to hire before they ever visit a website.

If you are not in the answer, you are not on the shortlist

AI tools name a handful of businesses. The rest are never considered.

AI search optimization starts with clear answers

AI search optimization means pages, FAQs, and schema that AI tools can read and quote. It is built into our fractional CMO services.

Generative engine optimization rewards early movers

Few founder-led businesses practice generative engine optimization yet, so the gap is open today.

It strengthens classic SEO too

AI search optimization and generative engine optimization use the same clarity and authority that help you rank on Google and Bing.

Design and content

Strong Design and Content Teams, Under One Roof

Strategy only works when it is well made. Our design team shapes your brand, website, and campaigns. Our content team writes the pages, articles, and answers that earn trust, rankings, and AI citations. Together they turn your fractional CMO services plan into work you are proud to publish.

Questions, Answered

What are fractional CMO services?

Fractional CMO services, sometimes called an outsourced CMO, give you a senior marketing leader part-time instead of a full-time executive. At Sorbet Labs, that leader comes with specialists for search, content, design, and paid media. Learn more in What Is a Fractional CMO?

Who are fractional CMO services for?

Founder-led businesses at roughly $1M to $20M that prefer to outsource marketing rather than build a full department. If growth has outpaced what you can lead alone, our fractional CMO services were built for you.

What is the difference between an outsourced CMO and outsourced marketing?

An outsourced CMO sets the strategy and owns the results. Outsourced marketing is the wider work of carrying it out. Our fractional CMO services combine both, so one team leads and delivers.

We work out of Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, and serve founder-led businesses across the United States and India. We schedule calls around your time zone.

What is generative engine optimization?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring your content so AI assistants cite your business in their answers. It sits alongside classic SEO inside our fractional CMO services.

Is outsourced marketing right for my business?

Outsourced marketing suits founder-led businesses that want senior leadership and specialist delivery without the cost and delay of hiring a full department. If you want to own every task in-house, a different model may fit better. See how the options compare.

Do you only push ads?

No. We take no commission on ad spend, so we recommend ads only where they pay off, and we lead with search, content, brand, and email for sustainable growth.

Are your solutions one-size-fits-all?

Never. Every plan is tailored to your market, customers, and goals, and we take one business per industry.

What do your design and content teams do?

Our design team builds brand identities, websites, apps, and campaign creative. Our content team writes pages, articles, FAQs, and case studies that earn trust, rankings, and AI search optimization wins.
