How long before I start seeing new clients from SEO?

Honestly, three to six months before you notice a real difference in calls and form submissions. Some movement happens sooner, but SEO builds momentum over time. By month eight or nine, you should be getting consistent leads from people searching for accountants and CPAs in your area.

Do I need a new website or can you work with what I have?

Depends on what you're working with. If your current site is reasonably modern and loads well, we can do SEO work on top of it. If it's outdated or built on something we can't work with, starting with our Website+SEO package at $3,500 makes more sense. We'll tell you straight up which route we'd recommend.

What kind of searches will my firm show up for?

The ones that actually lead to business. Things like "CPA in Van TX," "tax preparation near me," "bookkeeping services Van Zandt County," "payroll accountant East Texas." We focus on searches where the person typing is looking for someone to hire, not just browsing.

I mostly get clients from referrals — why do I need SEO?

Referrals are great. But the person who gets referred to you is still going to Google your name before they call. And the people who don't have a referral — they're searching too. SEO makes sure both of those groups find you instead of someone else.

Will this help during tax season specifically?

Yes, and we plan for it. Search volume for tax-related services spikes hard from January through April. If your SEO foundation is solid before that window opens, you catch that wave of traffic right when it matters most. That's why starting before November is smart if tax season is your priority.

What SEO Won't Do for Your Accounting Firm

It won't get you ten new clients by next Monday. It won't make your phone ring the day we start. And it's not going to replace the relationships you've built in Van Zandt County — the handshake referrals, the folks who've known your name since their kids were at Van ISD together. That stuff matters and it's real.

But here's what's frustrating. Somebody in Van searches "CPA near me" or "tax prep Van TX" right now, and your firm probably doesn't show up. Some office in Tyler does. Maybe one in Canton. And that person who lives five minutes from your door picks up their phone, calls a stranger, and books an appointment with them instead. Not because they're better. Because Google showed them first.

SEO fixes that. Slowly. Over six to twelve months, we build the kind of search presence that puts your firm in front of people who are already looking for exactly what you do — tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, quarterly filings. The searches that matter. The ones with intent behind them.

Your Google Business Profile Is Doing Almost Nothing Right Now

This is the part that should make you mad. Most accounting firms in small towns have a Google Business profile that's either half-filled-out or completely stale. Wrong hours. No posts. No reviews strategy. A description that reads like it was written in 2016 and forgotten.

And Google notices. When someone searches for accounting services in or around Van, Google looks at which profiles are active, complete, and relevant. A neglected profile gets buried. A well-maintained one gets calls.

We handle all of that. Profile optimization, consistent posting, review generation strategy, local citation cleanup — the boring stuff that actually moves the needle. Paired with on-page SEO for your website, so when people search for services like tax prep or bookkeeping in Van Zandt County, your site is what they find. Not a directory page. Not a competitor thirty miles away. You.

So What Does This Actually Cost and How Does It Work

Fair question. Our Website+SEO package starts at $3,500 — that gets your site rebuilt and optimized from the ground up. If you've already got a site you're happy with and just need the ongoing SEO and ad management, that's $750 a month.

Is that cheap? No. But think about what one new tax client is worth to you over the next five years. Now think about getting two or three of those a month from search traffic alone.

We're not going to build you a dashboard full of vanity metrics. We're going to get your firm showing up when people in Van, Edom, Ben Wheeler, and the rest of Van Zandt County search for an accountant. That's it. That's the job.

And if you want to talk about what that looks like specifically for your firm — tax season strategy, bookkeeping keywords, whatever — just call. We'll walk through it.
