FAQ

Accounting Firm SEO FAQs

How long does SEO take for an accounting firm?

Map-pack movement usually comes first, often within the first few months. Organic rankings for competitive terms like “CPA near me” in large metros take longer. Our tracking shows progress in both from month one.

Should we start SEO before tax season?

Ideally, yes. People start searching for tax help in January, so rankings built in the fall and early winter pay off when demand peaks. Advisory and bookkeeping searches run all year.

Which searches do you target?

The ones that become clients: “CPA near me”, “tax preparer [city]”, “small business accountant”, “bookkeeping services”, “IRS tax help” and industry searches like “accountant for contractors”.

Do you work with competing firms?

No. One accounting firm per territory. When you sign up for SEO, your market is closed to other firms.

What is AI search tracking?

Business owners now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity to recommend an accountant. We track whether those tools mention your firm, and work on the reviews, listings and site content they rely on.
