Websites for Accountants

They say you can't judge a book by its cover but when it comes to accountant's websites, potential new clients will pass judgement on your practice in seconds. Statistically speaking, more than 70% of accountants in Australia don't have a website yet it is the starting point for the majority of business owners looking to find a new accountant. An amateurish website (or no website at all) is not the type of first impression you want to make with a prospective new client.

Your website is your 21st century business card and accountants who have invested in a quality website are reaping the rewards. If you want to attract Gen X and Y business owners to rejuvenate your ageing client base you need a website that resonates with your target audience. A website that simply lists the who, what and where is just a billboard. To attract prospects and win new clients on the internet you need to make your website your marketing hub with a focus on niche markets including industries and specialist services. Unfortunately, the majority of accounting firms are in denial regarding the effectiveness of websites and make all sorts of excuses as to why they don't have a website. For many Australian partners and principals it's all been too hard or expensive - until now.

The Accountant’s Marketing Website is designed to give Australian accounting firms a high quality, user friendly, professional website that is tailored to your firm’s corporate image and niche markets. It typically suits small to medium sized accounting firms looking to project a professional image and ramp up their marketing at targeted niche industries and services. It also provides an easy to use email marketing system to promote your services to your clients and build an awareness of your full range of accounting, tax and business services.

The Accountant’s Marketing Website is unique and is proven to generate new business leads. Here is a testimonial from Brunswick based accountant, Linda McGowan from Linda McGowan Pty Ltd.

"We are absolutely delighted with our website and its performance so far has exceeded our wildest expectations. We worked with Pat to develop some content for a left field niche industry and that strategy alone generated more than $50k of new business last year. This is in addition to the significant amount of new fees the other niches have generated. We get a lot of calls and positive comments regarding the website and it continues to pay for itself many times over. We are now starting to use the marketing tools behind the website and it is just so powerful. The support has been sensational and the content and SEO is brilliant because we are on the top of so many Google accountant search pages like plumbers, musicians and cafes just to name a few. It is like having our own marketing manager on staff and it attracts new business clients each and every week. We previously used a templated website that generated next to nothing but this website is a marketing machine and Pat has then helped us develop scripts to convert prospects into appointments.”

We believe your website should generate new clients and new business. The Accountant’s Marketing Website is designed to tell people who you are, what you offer and most importantly, why you should be their accountant. If your current website isn't generating leads for your practice, then you've got the wrong website. This website will appeal to Generation X and Y and also serves as a recruitment tool because it 'talks' to these groups in the carefully constructed 'careers' section.

The website lets you compete with larger firms and showcase your expertise as well as cross sell your full range of accounting, tax and financial services. You can connect with your clients through newsletters and offer secure access to clients looking to upload confidential documents including tax returns and financial statements.

Website Analytics

The website comes with in-built analytics so you can track the performance of your website. At a mouse click you can see how many visitors you’re getting each day, which pages are your most popular, where your visitors are coming from (state, suburb and country) plus lots more.

To really measure and monitor your website’s performance you can see who is online at any time and what they are doing. The system will display a list of members who are either currently viewing your website or one of your emails along with their recent activity. By monitoring live activity you will get a better feel for what marketing is working and you can analyse email reads, clicks, bounces and unsubscribe statistics. You can create groups within your members so you can then target them with direct emails.

Search Engine Optimization

It is surprising to discover that some content management systems hide important keywords from search engines. Avoid using i-frame technology to display content, as it blinds search engines to key words. You want to reveal the total page content to search engines to increase your chance of higher rankings. The system even reports when a search engine is in the process of spidering your website. Search engines, including Google, place a high importance on the keywords found in your URLs. Use clean URLs containing important keywords and avoid URLs using special symbols, numbers and other confusing or irrelevant code.

Grow your Membership

Let clients and prospects subscribe to your newsletter and have a simple registration process to build your database of members. Ensure that all new member email addresses are checked for integrity.
