Real Results

How We Help Accounting Firms Grow

Tax Prep Firm Adds 40+ New Clients in 6 Months

A mid-size tax prep firm was struggling to fill their calendar during tax season. We launched a Google Ads campaign targeting 'tax preparation near me' and 'tax returns' keywords, combined with Local SEO optimization. Within three months, they were receiving 15-20 qualified leads per week. By month six, they had added 40+ new tax clients and hired additional staff to handle the volume.

Bookkeeping Practice Generates 60 Leads in 90 Days

A solo bookkeeping accountant wanted to scale but didn't know how to reach new clients. We implemented a multi-channel strategy including Google Ads, Meta Ads targeting small business owners, and Google Business Profile optimization. The combination resulted in 60 qualified leads in the first 90 days, with a cost per lead that was 40% lower than their previous attempts at marketing.

CPA Firm Increases Client Calls by 3x Through Local SEO

A full-service CPA firm invested in Local SEO to build long-term visibility. We optimized their website for accounting keywords, built local citations, and improved their Google Business Profile. After six months of consistent optimization, organic phone calls increased 3x, and they ranked on page one for 15+ local accounting keywords.

Accounting Practice Cuts Lead Cost in Half with Email Marketing

An established accounting practice had a large email list but wasn't using it strategically. We set up segmented email campaigns for tax season, quarterly planning, and referral requests. The email program generated an additional 25 leads per quarter at a fraction of the cost of paid advertising, while strengthening relationships with existing clients.

Yes. We tailor campaigns to your target market. Some firms focus on small business accounting and payroll, while others specialize in personal tax returns. We segment audiences and create messaging that resonates with your ideal clients.
