Maps, reviews & reputation. Bundles with any plan
Content marketing comes with every website build. Reputation management comes with Google Business Profile. No bloated bundles, just the channels that grow your business.
A business owner needs tax planning. A partnership seeks accounting help. A self-employed freelancer needs year-round bookkeeping. They all search Google first—and your firm either shows up at the top or gets skipped. We get your accounting practice in front of ready-to-hire clients through campaigns built by real PPC experts, not templates.
These are the high-intent keywords business owners and individuals search when they need tax help, bookkeeping, or accounting expertise. They're actively looking and ready to hire. All CPCs reflect real 2026 market data.

Our proven 11-step framework. No shortcuts, no PMax, no guesswork. Exactly how we turn your ad spend into billable consultations and high-value client engagements.
Separate high-intent keywords into 6 core ad groups: Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping, Business Accounting, Tax Planning, Payroll, and Specialty Services. Each group gets custom messaging built for consultations, not clicks.
Each ad group gets unique headlines and descriptions. Tax prep ads emphasize "Fast Returns," "IRS Representation," "Expert CPA." Business accounting ads showcase "CFO-Level Service," "Multi-Entity Support," "Profit Optimization." Payroll ads focus on "Same-Day Processing."
Tax prep keywords go to a tax-focused page with filing timelines. Business accounting keywords go to a multi-entity page. Bookkeeping keywords link to bookkeeping features. Payroll keywords show payroll benefits. Zero generic home pages.
We use Target CPA bidding, not Maximize Clicks. Target CPA set to $60–$95 (your cost-per-lead goal). Google's AI learns which clicks convert to consultations and bids higher on them. Wasted clicks on researchers go unfunded.
We don't spread $4,800/month equally. Tax Preparation gets 40%. Business Accounting gets 30%. Bookkeeping gets 15%. Tax Planning gets 10%. Payroll gets 5%. This mirrors search volume and consultation likelihood.
For high-value tax planning keywords ($22 CPC), we bid aggressively at position 1. For lower-urgency keywords ($12–$15 CPC), we bid for positions 2–3. This maximizes ROI across the portfolio.
Every campaign includes call tracking phone numbers unique to each ad group. Form submissions tracked in Google Ads with 48-hour conversion window. You see which keyword group drives actual consultations booked.
60%+ of "accountant near me" searches happen on phones during work hours when business owners think about taxes. All ads mobile-first. Landing pages load under 1 second. Consultation booking form above the fold.
Tax season (Jan–April) drives massive tax prep demand. Year-end (Oct–Dec) drives strategic planning. Q1/Q3 drive quarterly filing demand. We shift spend 60% tax prep during peak season, 50% tax planning during year-end.
We monitor 5–7 top local accounting firms weekly. We check their ad copy, landing pages, bid positions. We identify messaging gaps. If they don't emphasize "IRS Representation," we do. If they avoid "Multi-Entity Expertise," that's our angle.
Every Monday: review last week's clicks, conversions, consultations booked. Which ad groups underperformed? Increase negative keywords. Which landing pages have high bounce? Redesign. Which keywords have low conversion? Lower the bid or pause. Testing never stops.
No generic templates. Each landing page custom-built for its service type, with real case studies, proof points, and one clear goal: get prospects to book a consultation NOW.
This is a properly structured Google Ads campaign. No wasted spend on tire-kickers or researchers. No ads showing to people who will never hire. Just high-quality client leads, day after day, that convert into booked consultations and signed engagements.
We don't follow a template. Every campaign custom-built with proven strategies that work in accounting—and nowhere else.
We build Search-only campaigns with manual bidding and keyword-level control. No Display Network. No Audience Expansion. No Broad Match. We bid on exact keywords at exact bids we choose.
Tax prep keywords get tax expertise messaging. Business accounting keywords get CFO-level messaging. Each ad group separately tracked, managed, and optimized. One account manager oversees each campaign personally.
We bid $16–$22 on premium keywords because consultations are worth $500–$2,500+ in revenue. We never compete on cheap clicks. We compete on consultations. Our bids 20–30% higher than Maximize Clicks—ROI 3–4× better.
We know which keywords drive phone inquiries, which drive bookings, which waste budget. Every click attributed to exact keyword and ad group. This data drives weekly optimization.
60%+ of accounting searches happen on mobile during work hours. We optimize for speed (under 1.5 sec), consultation buttons, mobile form fills. No desktop-first designs that fail on phones.
Every Monday we review last week's performance. Which keywords converted? Which landed duds? We make 3–5 data-driven changes and report monthly with CPL impact and ROI forecasts.
We charge a management fee of $480–$800/month depending on ad groups and conversion tracking complexity. This is in addition to ad spend. If you spend $4,800/month on ads, add $480–$800 for management. Total monthly investment: $5,280–$5,600. That investment returns 5–7× your ad spend in new client revenue. If CPL is $60–$95 and average new client value is $1,000–$3,000+, ROI is substantial.
CPL determined by CPC ÷ conversion rate. Average accounting CPC ($14–$22) with 7–9% conversion rates yields $60–$95 CPL. But we're selective with keywords. Tax prep ($15 CPC) converts at 9%. Business accounting ($20 CPC) converts at 8%. Tax planning ($22 CPC) converts at 7%. Blended CPL across all groups: $60–$95. To lower further, either lower CPC (fewer leads) or raise conversion rates (better pages). Most clients see CPL drop 15–25% in months 3–6.
No. PMax campaigns (automated AI across Search, Display, YouTube, Gmail) waste 40–60% on low-intent impressions outside Search. A business owner searching "small business accountant jacksonville" is 10× more likely to hire than someone seeing your ad in YouTube. We only buy Search clicks. We bid aggressively on high-intent keywords. PMax optimizes for clicks, not consultations. We optimize for booked engagements. Our search-only approach costs more per click but delivers 3–4× better ROI.
Campaign launch: Day 1. Ads go live immediately. Keywords start showing. You'll see 12–20 clicks on day 1. Not all convert to calls. Expected leads week 1: 3–6. By week 2: 8–12 leads. By week 3–4: 18–22+ leads per week. This assumes call tracking and landing pages ready before launch. If building pages post-launch, add 1–2 weeks. Most clients hit 25+ new client leads/month by week 6.
No contracts. Month-to-month. You can pause or stop anytime with 10 days notice. We don't lock you in. That said, accounting Google Ads campaigns get better over time. Weeks 1–4 are setup and initial optimization. Months 2–4 are refinement. Months 5–12 are peak ROI and lowest CPL. If you leave after 6 weeks, you miss compound gains. Most clients commit 6–12 months because ROI accelerates and new client quality improves. But it's your choice.
Great question. Your unique selling points drive all messaging. Do you offer IRS representation? Other competitors don't—we emphasize that. Do you have CFO-level expertise? Fractional CFO services? Same-day payroll processing? Year-round tax planning? Each becomes the core message of your ad group and landing pages. We analyze top 5–7 competitors weekly. If they don't claim "Multi-Entity Expertise," that's your angle. If they avoid "Tax Savings Guarantee," that's yours. Your differentiation baked into every ad and landing page.
