How long does SEO take for an accounting firm?

Early wins — profile fixes, map pack movement — often show in 4–8 weeks. Competitive service rankings typically build over 3–6 months and compound from there.

Should I do SEO or Google Ads for my firm?

Ads buy immediate visibility but stop when the spend stops. SEO builds an asset. Many firms run both short-term, then shift budget as organic and map pack results take over.

What keywords should an accounting firm target?

The searches with intent behind them: your services plus your cities ("tax accountant in [city]"), plus the questions clients ask before choosing. We map these in the audit.

Can you work with our existing website?

Almost always. We optimise what you have first and only recommend a rebuild when the site genuinely can't rank.
