A marketing strategy that never fails
Time and time again we’ve seen what works for accountants and bookkeepers online – and what fails!
You have to start by understanding your audience and their behavior. People don’t change their accountant often (even when they’re unhappy). But when they do, they typically search online.
What are they searching for?
They may be searching for your actual services (in which case you better be showing up on page 1) or they may be searching for content to help them in their business, such as a video on inventory management, a PDF tax guide or an online calculator.
With so many possible touch points, where do you start when creating your online marketing strategy?

Brand strategy
Step 1 of marketing for an accountant
In the rush to get a website up or start generating leads, a lot of accountants miss this crucial step in their marketing strategy: Defining their brand. Without a clear brand image you can confuse the very audience you’re targeting, fail to connect with them and waste your money.
Spend some money on designing a great logo, defining your brand colors, fonts, style and theme. Make sure that your firm maintains that across all of your marketing activities.
Is your brand image consistent with the message you’re communicating? ie – If you’re communicating that you’re a cloud-based, innovative accounting firm does your marketing convey that? Or is your content boring, your website stuck in the 2000’s, without any relevant images?
Our team can put together a clear brand strategy that will set your firm apart. Contact us for more info.
Website strategy
Build a firm foundation online
The foundation of any online marketing strategy for an accountant is a great website. People may see your social media post, your online ad, your Youtube video, but in the end they’ll head to your website if they’re seriously considering your services.
They want to know what you do, who’ll they’ll be working with and how credible you are.
Your strategy has to include a great website that sets you apart from all the other accounting or bookkeeping websites out there, connects with your audience and answers their queries.
We build mobile first websites for accounting firms that are strategically built to engage and convert visitors. Request a proposal.
SEO & content strategy
Can people find you?
Why buy a Ferrari and leave it in the garage? Get it out there! Once you have a great website you need people to see it.
The best marketing strategies for accountants and bookkeepers include SEO and content marketing.
Your prospects will go to search engines like Google and Youtube to find your services or ask questions (like ‘how to manage cash flow in a small business’). You need great SEO and content to ensure that you’re visible online.
SEO is one of the best marketing strategies for accountants because you’ll still see benefits long after you stop.
Our team of SEO experts have consistently helped our clients boost their website traffic and generate new clients. Let’s discuss an SEO strategy for your firm.
Video & social media strategy
Be everywhere.
We like to ensure that you’re showing up in multiple corners of the internet, at various touch points. People are different. Some prefer Youtube, some social media, and others blogs.
All of your content should tie together across all platforms with one unified strategy. The content you create for a Youtube video can also be embedded in a blog on the same topic, used in a social media post and in your email marketing.
With multiple touch points you’re more likely to increase your chances of conversion. This part of an accountant marketing strategy will also establish you as an authority over time as you generate a substantial amount of online content.
Online ads strategy
Pay to play.
Online advertising works well for accountants but there are two things to keep in mind:
- Once you switch them off, the leads stop (which is why we always recommend including SEO and content into your strategy).
- You need a decent budget to really see results.
If you have at least $3,000/month to spend, Google ads can work well to target people specifically searching for your services. For smaller budgets you could use Facebook / Meta Ads, focused on content that appeals to your target audience, and get leads into an automated email sequence.
The ad platform you choose will depend on your budget and where your target audience can be reached.
