The tax accountants we work with
At Localsearch, we market tax accountants for the two things that actually grow a practice: individual returns that arrive in a wave each July, and business clients who stay for a decade. We build local search visibility for both, and a site that lets someone book an appointment without a phone call they'd rather not make.
What we hear most
- 1Online-only tax platforms undercut you on price for simple individual returns.
- 2The whole year's new business arrives in six weeks and the phones can't keep up.
- 3Business advisory work is the profitable side, but nothing on the site sells it.

Questions tax accountants ask
How do we compete with cheap online tax platforms?
Don't compete on the simplest returns. Target the situations that need a human — rental properties, sole traders, capital gains, crypto — and write pages that explain what goes wrong when those are self-lodged.
Should we take online bookings?
Yes. A large share of tax enquiries happen outside business hours, and a booking link captures the ones who won't leave a voicemail. It also spreads appointment load rather than clustering it around phone hours.
What content brings in business clients?
Practical answers to structure, BAS, and deduction questions for specific industries. Business owners searching those questions in your region are exactly the clients worth having on a monthly fee.
