How fast will I start getting leads from Google Ads?

Most campaigns start generating clicks within the first few days. Qualified leads — people actually calling or filling out your contact form — usually show up within the first two weeks. It takes about 30 days of data before we can really dial in what's working best.

What's the difference between Google Ads and SEO?

SEO is the long game. It builds your organic rankings over months so you show up in search results without paying per click. Google Ads put you at the top of the page right now, but you pay for each click. Most accounting firms benefit from both, but ads get results faster.

How much should I spend on the ads themselves?

For an accounting firm in the Canton area, ad budgets between $500 and $1,500 a month are common. We'll recommend a starting budget based on your services and goals. You can adjust it anytime — there's no contract with Google locking you into a spend amount.

Can I target just Canton or do I have to cover all of East Texas?

You can target as narrow or wide as you want. We can set your ads to show only within a specific radius of Canton, or expand to cover Tyler, Mineola, Wills Point — wherever your clients come from. Most CPAs want a tight radius so they're not paying for clicks from people who won't make the drive.

What happens during the slow season after tax deadlines?

We shift your campaign focus. Instead of tax prep keywords, we push bookkeeping, payroll, business consulting, and new business setup. The search volume drops some, but the people searching in June for an accountant tend to be serious. Lower volume, higher intent.

You're paying for the wrong clicks

If you've tried running Google Ads yourself, you already know the problem. You set a budget, pick some keywords like "accountant near me" or "tax preparation," and Google happily spends your money. But the calls don't come. Or they come from people looking for free tax software, or businesses three counties away that have no intention of switching CPAs. That's not a traffic problem — it's a targeting problem.

What changes when someone's actually watching

Google Ads work when someone manages them like a real campaign, not a set-it-and-forget-it checkbox. That means building ad groups around the services you actually want to sell — tax prep, bookkeeping, payroll, quarterly filings — and writing ads that speak to the person searching. Someone Googling "CPA in Canton TX" is in a different headspace than someone typing "how to file business taxes." Both might be worth targeting. But they need different ads, different landing pages, and different follow-up.

We set location targeting tight. Canton, the surrounding area, maybe parts of Van Zandt County depending on how far your clients drive. No wasted spend showing ads in Houston or Fort Worth. We add negative keywords so you stop paying for searches that don't match. And we check the numbers weekly — adjusting bids, pausing what isn't working, putting more money behind what is.

Tax season shouldn't be your only pipeline

Accounting firms in a town like Canton tend to get busy from January through April and then watch things slow down. Google Ads can change that pattern. Payroll services, bookkeeping, business formation, QuickBooks cleanup — people search for these things all year. A steady ad campaign keeps your phone ringing in July the same way it rings in March.

Canton's got around 3,600 people, but the pull is bigger than that. Trade Days brings traffic from across the state. Small business owners in the area need accounting help and most of them start their search online. If your firm doesn't show up when they search, someone else's does. That's just math.

You only pay when someone clicks. No impressions fees, no monthly minimums to Google itself. Our management runs starting at $750 a month, which covers campaign setup, keyword research, ad writing, landing page recommendations, and ongoing management. Your actual ad spend with Google is separate and scales to whatever makes sense for your market.

We track every call, every form submission, every click. You'll know exactly what you're getting. And if something isn't working, we change it — not next quarter, not at the next review meeting. That week.
