Technical SEO and monitoring
Crawl, speed, schema, and indexing fixes, then monthly checks so problems don't creep back.
The Problem
Your Phones Ring in March and Go Quiet by May
Tax-season searches bring plenty of calls, but advisory, audit, and bookkeeping buyers search all year. Most firms only catch the first group.
The problem
Your phone lines light up every March with people shopping for the cheapest return.
- By June they're quiet.
- Meanwhile, a manufacturer searching for an outsourced controller finds 3 national firms and a directory, but not you.
- Your site has one Services page with 14 bullet points and no detail.
- Google can't tell what you're best at, so it ranks you for nothing in particular.
How we solve it
We start by mapping searches to the services that pay you best: commercial tax, audits, fractional CFO work, and outsourced bookkeeping.
Each gets its own page, written for the buyer and the search. Then we fix the technical issues holding pages back and earn links from associations and local business press. Tax season becomes one campaign in a year-round program, not the only one.
A page per service line
Commercial tax, audit, CFO, and bookkeeping each get a page built for its searches.
Content for your niches
Industry pages for the clients you know, like contractors or ecommerce sellers.
Leads tracked to the service
Every call and form shows which service and page it came from.

Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Generic SEO Agencies vs In-House Marketing
An accounting firm SEO company that knows your services usually beats a bigger generic agency. In-house staff know your firm best, though. Here's how the three compare.

|---|---|---|---|
| Keyword focus | Service lines that pay best | Broad traffic goals | Whatever time allows |
| Accounting knowledge | Tax, audit, and CFO buyers | Learns on your account | Knows your firm deeply |
| Technical SEO | Fixed by developers | Often outsourced | Rarely in scope |
| Content quality | Reviewed by your partners | Generic templates | Strong but slow |
| Lead tracking | By service line | Traffic reports | Varies by tools |
| Off-season demand | Covered all year | Tax-season pushes | Stalls in busy season |
| Monthly cost | From $800 per month | Retainers vary widely | Salary plus tools |
| Account ownership | Your accounts, your content | Varies by agency | Fully in-house |

LET'S DISCUSSWhat Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and improved websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Accounting Firms Trust Us With Their SEO
We treat SEO as a sales channel for specific services, not a traffic chart. These habits keep the program honest.
Service lines before keywords
We start from the work you want more of and find the searches behind it. Ranking for cheap tax prep rarely helps a firm selling advisory.
Partners review every page
Your partners check each draft for technical accuracy before it goes live. Tax content with an error does more harm than no content.
Every inquiry has a source
We tag calls and forms by service and page, so reports show clients, not just clicks. You see what each month of SEO produced.
Busy season planned ahead
Tax-season pages go live before January, and advisory content runs all year. The calendar follows your revenue, not the other way around.
Straight answers first
If your market is too small for a monthly program, we'll say so. A one-time technical fix may serve you better.
Your content stays yours
Every page, account, and report belongs to your firm. If you stop the program, the work stays on your site.

Who it's for
CPA firms growing advisory work
Your firm wants more fractional CFO and advisory clients, but most of your organic traffic is tax-prep shoppers.
Regional firms chasing commercial clients
You want audit and commercial tax work from mid-size companies, and the last CPA SEO company you hired sent traffic reports, not clients.
Bookkeeping practices selling monthly plans
You sell outsourced bookkeeping on a monthly plan and want searches from owners tired of doing their own books.
Niche firms with an industry focus
Your clients are mostly contractors, dentists, or ecommerce sellers, and your WordPress site doesn't say so anywhere.
Agencies with accounting clients
Your agency manages a CPA firm's Webflow site and needs a white-label partner for technical SEO and content.
Not a fit for
You mostly want map pack calls in one city, and your site is solid. Local SEO Services for Accountants & CPAs is the tighter program.
You need a new site before SEO can work. CPA Website Design Services should come first, and we'll say so.
You're a financial advisor or RIA whose content needs compliance review. Financial Advisor SEO Services is built for that.
Your budget is under $800 per month, or you serve one small town. A one-time technical fix may be all you need.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, ranking timelines, year-round keywords, and measuring what accounting SEO earns.
Our accounting SEO plans start at $800 per month for technical fixes, a keyword map, and 2 service pages a month. Year-round plans with niche pages and outreach start at $1,300 per month. Multi-office programs start at $2,000 per month. You get a fixed proposal after a free audit.
SEO puts your firm in front of owners and CFOs while they research a specific problem, like a sales tax audit or a departing controller. Pages built for those searches bring buyers with bigger budgets than tax-prep shoppers. They arrive already knowing your process and what you charge.
Expect 4 to 8 months for competitive commercial tax and audit terms in a metro area. Niche pages, such as audits for construction companies, often move sooner because fewer firms target them. First technical fixes go live in 2 to 3 weeks, and you get a progress report every month.
Give each service its own page that answers what buyers ask: scope, fee range, software used, and what the first months look like. Link those pages from your industry pages and add a short intake form. Fractional CFO buyers compare firms carefully, so specifics beat slogans.
Service-plus-industry and service-plus-location searches drive the steadiest inquiries. Examples include outsourced bookkeeping for contractors, fractional CFO plus your city, and sales tax compliance for ecommerce sellers. These buyers search every month, unlike tax-prep shoppers who cluster before filing deadlines. We confirm volumes for your market in the audit.
Citations list your name, address, and phone number consistently across directories, which helps Google confirm who and where you are. Technical SEO lets Google crawl, render, and understand every service page. Together they lift the whole site, while content and links decide which searches you win. Local SEO Services for Accountants & CPAs covers the map pack in depth.
Divide your monthly SEO cost by the new clients that came from organic search, then compare that with each client's annual fees. Call tracking and tagged forms show which service and page produced each inquiry, and your CRM confirms who signed. That turns rankings into cost per client for each service.
Each month we fix technical issues, publish or refresh your service pages and niche guides, and work on links and citations. You get a report with rankings, inquiries per service, and next month's plan. Plans differ by how many pages we write and how many offices we cover.
Yes, one team can handle both, which avoids the ranking drops that follow redesigns without redirects. We map every old URL to its new page, keep your strongest content, and fix templates before launch. If a redesign is coming within a year, start with our CPA Website Design Services.
Your firm owns everything: the pages we write, your analytics and Search Console accounts, and your listings. We work inside your accounts from day one. If you stop, the content stays on your site, and your team keeps access to every report and tracking tool.
