Fractional CMO for ABA clinics in Utah.
Growing an ABA practice in Utah is usually a capacity problem that looks like a marketing problem: moderate demand, uncapped commercial coverage, and clinical pay near the national average. A fractional CMO owns the plan, budget, and vendors - and decides which levers Utah actually rewards.

The Utah read
What Fractional CMO has to solve in Utah.
Where to grow
Demand in Utah is real but uneven across metros (19.1 BCBAs per 100k residents, #25 of 51 for BCBA density). The plan sequences locations and service lines by where capacity and demand overlap, then funds channels in that order.
Revenue per client
No annual cap under H.B. 252 (2014) makes commercial caseload revenue predictable, so acquisition cost can be planned against lifetime value with confidence.
Hiring budget
Clinical pay runs near the national average (BCBA ≈ $71,702, RBT ≈ $14.93/hr), with moderate competition for staff. Recruiting marketing gets its own line in the budget - in most Utah practices it unlocks more revenue than another family-acquisition channel.
Compliance & messaging
Utah requires behavior-analyst licensure (Division of Professional Licensing). The CMO keeps every vendor's messaging - ads, landing pages, review responses - inside licensure, payer, and HIPAA lines, which is where agencies without category fluency get practices into trouble.
What's included

The same program we run for ABA providers everywhere, prioritized around the Utah market above. See the full Fractional CMO service →
Build
Ownership of the marketing budget and every vendor in it: agencies, freelancers, platforms, and in-house hires held to one roadmap and one definition of a qualified inquiry.
Compound
A weekly operating cadence with your leadership team - priorities, blockers, hiring and vendor decisions - so marketing moves at the speed of the business, not the retainer calendar.
Measure
One scoreboard: pipeline, cost per qualified inquiry, intake or demo conversion, and payer-eligible volume, reported monthly to owners, boards, or investors in language they can act on.
FAQ
Fractional CMO questions from Utah.
Q.01When does a Utah ABA practice need a fractional CMO instead of an agency?
When the problem is ownership, not execution: several vendors, no single plan, and nobody accountable for cost per qualified inquiry. A fractional CMO sets the Utah roadmap and budget, manages the agencies and in-house team, and reports one scoreboard to owners or investors.
Q.02What does a fractional CMO prioritize first in Utah?
Sequencing. Utah demand is uneven across metros, so the first 90 days map capacity and demand by location, fix intake conversion, and fund channels in the order the plan needs them.
Q.03Does a fractional CMO need to be based in Utah?
No. The work runs on a weekly operating cadence with your leadership team over video, plus monthly scoreboard reviews. What matters is category fluency - authorizations, BCBA capacity, payer language, licensure through the Division of Professional Licensing - not proximity.
