Search and visibility

Accounting firm website SEO, built from page architecture and content

Accounting firm website SEO starts with page architecture: one page per practice area and one page per office is what gives a search engine something specific to rank, before a single article is ever published.

Who it is for

Is this the right service for your firm?

Accounting firms that are well known by referral but invisible in search, and firms in competitive markets such as Texas, California, New York and Florida where the firms that rank have pages the others lack.

Signs the firm needs it

  • The firm does not appear for "[practice area] + city" searches in its own market.
  • Only the homepage ever appears in search results.
  • The blog has not published anything in over a year.
  • AI assistants describe the firm vaguely or not at all.
01

Structure first, content second

A firm that lists three practice areas in one paragraph on the homepage gives a search engine nothing to associate with any of the three searches a prospective client might run. Splitting each into its own page, with its own title and description, is the single change that does the most for visibility, before any article is written.

02

Researched articles on a fixed schedule

Beyond page structure, every plan includes researched articles published on a fixed weekly schedule, written to answer real questions a prospective client would search rather than generic filler. A site that never publishes anything gives a search engine no reason to crawl it again.

03

Technical fundamentals, handled by default

Every page carries correct titles, descriptions, canonical tags and structured data matched to its content type, plus a sitemap and the crawler-facing files search engines and AI answer engines both check. None of this is an add-on; it ships with every plan.

  • Titles and descriptions written per page
  • Structured data matched to content type
  • Crawler files kept current automatically

What is not included

  • Accounting, tax, audit or financial advice of any kind, on the site or through the AI Engine.
  • Inventing credentials, years in practice, client numbers, results or reviews.
  • Paid ad management, PR or brand strategy (those belong with an agency if the firm wants them).
  • Hourly billing: extra revisions are a flat fee, never time-based.
  • A promise of a specific ranking position, traffic figure or cost per click.

Cost and timeline

What does accounting firm website SEO cost, and how long does it take?

It is priced as part of a monthly plan, not as a project. The plan decides the launch time and what is added on top of the site: the AI Engine on Partnership, the Content Engine on Multi-Partner. What drives the choice is how many channels the firm wants covered, not how many pages it needs.

In their words

What firms say about accounting firm website SEO

We handed over a folder of our real advisory consultations replies and let them work from that. They identified which questions belonged on the site and we checked every answer before launch. I now share a link instead of digging through the outbox.
Bethany FarnsworthConsulting manager, Performance improvement practiceFargo, North Dakota

FAQ research and editorial review for advisory consultations

We knew the advisory consultations document was a problem; we had just never prioritized fixing it. Each section has its own link, so answering a question no longer means attaching the whole file. The print-friendly version remains, but it is no longer the only option.
Christian RigsbyPartner, Independent business advisory firmSalem, Oregon

Structured reference pages for advisory consultations

The review of our advisory consultations pages was uncomfortable reading, in a useful way. Consolidation came with a checklist, so a change in one place is checked everywhere it matters. Updates stopped being a treasure hunt.

Risk, reversed

What do we promise, and on what terms?

Seven commitments a firm can hold us to, each with its condition written beside it rather than in a footnote.

No build fee until you approve the live site

The $797 one-time build fee is not charged at sign-up. It is invoiced only after the site is live and the firm has confirmed it is satisfied with it.

Cancel before the build starts and no build fee is charged. Cancel mid-build and only the work completed may be invoiced.

90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed

Every page we build and host is guaranteed at 90+ Google PageSpeed on mobile and desktop. If a page falls below it because of our work, we fix it at no charge.

Excludes changes made by the firm or third parties. The remedy is the fix, not a refund.

Local search visibility, or we keep working

We guarantee the site starts ranking for local searches in the firm's area within 3 to 5 months of launch. If it has not, we continue the search work at no additional charge until it does.

Covers the firm's own area and services only. The remedy is the continued work, not a refund.

No fixed contract term

Cancel by email with the notice period in the terms and the site runs to the end of the paid month. No exit fee, no minimum term, and an export of the firm's content and articles within 14 days.

Notice must reach us at least 2 business days before the next invoice date.

The domain is the firm's

The included domain is registered in the firm's name and transferred at no charge if the firm leaves.

The firm tells us where to send it.

Revisions without hourly billing

5 revisions a month are included, each completed within 2 to 5 working days. Beyond that, each is a flat $20.

Unused revisions do not roll over.

Nothing invented about the firm

No credential, license, year count, client number or review is ever published unless the firm supplied it.

Applies to every page, article and bio.

Questions about accounting firm website SEO

01Will you guarantee a specific ranking or amount of traffic?

No. We never invent or promise a specific ranking position or traffic number. What is guaranteed is the technical and content foundation: page architecture, 90+ PageSpeed, and a fixed article schedule.

02How is this different from a general SEO service?

A general SEO service is usually applied to a site with whatever architecture it already has. This starts from the page architecture itself, built specifically to give a search engine one clear page per practice area and per office.

03Do the researched articles count toward SEO or are they separate?

They are part of the same effort. Articles are written to answer real search queries relevant to the firm's practice areas and are published on the site's own domain, which is where the search value accrues.

04How long before search results improve?

Search visibility typically develops over a period measured in months rather than weeks, and depends on factors beyond the website alone, including how established the firm already is in search results.

05Do you do AEO and GEO as well as SEO?

Yes, on every plan. Answer-first content and FAQ blocks for featured snippets and voice answers (AEO), and an llms.txt file, consistent firm details and structured data so AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can understand and cite the firm (GEO).

06What structured data do you add?

JSON-LD matched to each page: the firm as an organization, services, FAQ blocks, breadcrumbs, partner bios and articles. Review markup is added only for real, permitted reviews.

07Is there a guarantee on local search?

Our terms guarantee the site starts ranking for local searches in the firm's area within 3 to 5 months of launch; if it has not, we continue the search work at no additional charge until it does. The remedy is the continued work, not a refund.

08Do you build backlinks?

Our plans cover the site, its structure, its content and, on the top plan, the Google Business Profile. We do not sell link building.
