Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from accountants in Dover every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Your practice doesn't show up in local searches
Most people find their accountant through Google Maps. A bare listing means lost client enquiries every month.
Clients love your personal service but nobody knows
Small accountancy practices thrive on personal service — but online, the firm with more reviews looks more credible.
No clear pricing or service information online
Potential clients want to understand what you offer and roughly what it costs before getting in touch. If your website doesn't tell them, they'll find one that does.
Self-assessment clients going elsewhere in January
January is the busiest month for accountants. If you're not showing up when people panic-search for help with their tax return, you're missing the biggest opportunity of the year.
