The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Seattle?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Accountants in Seattle need people close by searching "CPA", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Searches peak between January and the April tax deadline, so visibility has to be in place months earlier.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, QuickBooks ProAdvisor directory and old directories confuse Google and push your accounting firm down the map in University District.
Rising cost per lead
Prospects want proof of experience with their type of business, from restaurants to real estate investors. Paying per click for every Seattle lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for accountants.
Google Business Profile optimization
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your accounting firm's profile so it is eligible to rank across Seattle.
- Primary category set to “Accountant”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at South Lake Union and Downtown
- LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
