SEO for Bookkeepers
The website built free, the rankings worked on every month, from £300 a month.
Bookkeeping clients stay for years, so a single ranking win pays back for a long time. The problem is that most bookkeeper sites read like an accountant site with the prices removed.
Why the enquiries are thinner than they should be
Lifetime value changes the maths
A client who stays five years justifies patient, compounding work. This is a sector where content and rankings outperform ad spend over any sensible time horizon.
Software is a search term
Xero, QuickBooks and Sage searches carry strong intent from businesses already committed to a platform. A page per certification captures them.
You have to separate yourself from accountants
Searchers conflate the two. Content explaining the difference, and where the handover sits, captures people who searched the wrong word.
No time to touch any of it
You are working, not sat at a laptop. That is exactly the point of this service. You never log in, and the site keeps improving.
What bookkeeping SEO actually involves
Not a report and a monthly invoice. A defined set of work, done every month, on a site we built for you at no upfront cost.
Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, each with your certification, what you take on and what it costs monthly.
The sectors you serve best, with clear monthly pricing, because "bookkeeper for [sector]" converts far better than the generic term.
Categories, service list, areas, photos and posts kept current. For bookkeepers this is what decides the map pack, and the map pack is where most of the enquiries come from.
Titles, headings, internal links, schema, page speed and mobile layout. The unglamorous half that decides whether everything else works.
A capture flow that asks at the right moment and feeds your Google profile, plus monthly reporting against calls and enquiries rather than impressions.
Websites for bookkeepers: price it on the page
Small businesses shopping for bookkeeping are comparing monthly figures. A site with no pricing loses to one with a simple three-tier table, even when the second firm is more expensive.
We build the site free with pricing structured as an extractable table, then optimise it monthly.

We will not show you someone else’s screenshots
Sector SEO is usually sold on graphs going up and to the right, often from a client who was already ranking. We would rather tell you what we measure and let you judge it month by month, reported against calls and form enquiries rather than impressions.
Most bookkeepers start on Local
One trading area, map pack focus, monthly optimisation. Covering several towns or running more than one location? See Regional and National.

Should we target accountancy searches too?+
Only where you genuinely deliver the service. Ranking for terms you cannot fulfil produces enquiries you have to turn away, which costs you time and hurts the page.
How long does SEO for bookkeepers take to work?+
Map pack movement on a well-set-up Google Business Profile can show inside four to eight weeks. Competitive service pages usually take three to six months. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either guessing or targeting terms nobody searches.
How much does bookkeeping SEO cost?+
From £300 a month on Rental with £0 upfront, including the website itself, hosting, all content and monthly optimisation. Rent-to-Own is £500 a month and the site is yours in about two years. There is no separate build fee.
Do you only work with businesses in Bristol?+
No. We are built in Bristol and work with businesses across the South West and beyond. Local SEO is the same discipline wherever you trade; only the areas we target change.
