Lead Generation

Google Ads & PPC for Accountants

Appear at the top of Google the moment someone searches for an accountant. Targeted campaigns that deliver qualified enquiries from day one.

Instant visibility for your accounting practice

SEO takes time to build momentum. Google Ads delivers results immediately. The moment your campaigns go live, your practice appears at the very top of Google search results — above the organic listings, above the map pack — right where potential clients are looking. For accounting practices that need enquiries now, Google Ads is the fastest and most controllable way to generate them.

The beauty of PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising for accountants is precision. You only pay when someone clicks your ad, and you control exactly which search terms trigger it, which geographic areas you target, and how much you spend per day. When someone in your town searches "accountant for small business" or "self-assessment help near me," your ad appears above every other result.

The challenge is that Google Ads can be expensive and wasteful if managed poorly. Generic keywords, broad match types, and poorly written ads burn through budgets fast. That's why specialist management matters. We build campaigns specifically for UK accounting practices, using the keyword structures, ad copy, and landing pages that we know convert in this sector. Every pound of your ad spend is targeted, tracked, and optimised to deliver the lowest possible cost per qualified enquiry.

Google Search Ads

Google Search Ads place your practice at the top of search results for specific keywords. We build tightly themed ad groups targeting the services you want to promote — self-assessment, company accounts, payroll, VAT returns, bookkeeping — each with bespoke ad copy that speaks directly to the searcher's intent. We use exact match and phrase match keywords to control spend, and build comprehensive negative keyword lists to prevent wasted clicks.

Ad extensions enhance your visibility and click-through rate: site links to specific service pages, call extensions so prospects can phone you directly from the ad, location extensions that show your address, and structured snippets highlighting your specialisms. Every element is A/B tested and refined to maximise performance.

Google Local Services Ads

Google Local Services Ads (LSAs) appear at the very top of Google — above even standard search ads — with a "Google Guaranteed" or "Google Screened" badge that builds instant trust. You pay per lead (not per click), and leads come through as phone calls or messages directly from the ad. We help you set up and verify your LSA profile, select the right service categories, define your service area, and manage your lead flow.

Landing Page Optimisation

Driving clicks to your homepage is one of the biggest mistakes practices make with Google Ads. We build dedicated landing pages for each campaign or service, with clear headlines, compelling benefits, social proof, and a strong call-to-action. Our landing pages include elements proven to convert: trust badges (ICAEW, ACCA, AAT logos), client testimonials, transparent pricing guidance, and multiple contact options. Every landing page is A/B tested to continuously improve conversion rates.

Budget Management & Reporting

We work with budgets of all sizes, from £500 per month for a single-location practice to £5,000+ for multi-service campaigns across several regions. Every campaign has clear KPIs: cost per click, cost per lead, conversion rate, and — most importantly — cost per qualified enquiry that actually becomes a client. Monthly reports show exactly how many clicks, calls, and form submissions each campaign generated, which keywords are performing best, and where we're making changes to improve results.

How we run your Google Ads campaigns

1
Discovery & Keyword Research

We learn about your practice, target clients, and growth goals. Then we research the keywords your ideal clients are searching — analysing volumes, costs, and competition to build a strategy that fits your budget.

2
Campaign Build & Landing Pages

We structure campaigns into tightly themed ad groups, write compelling ad copy with multiple variants for testing, build negative keyword lists, and create dedicated landing pages designed to convert clicks into enquiries.

3
Launch & Conversion Tracking

We set up conversion tracking across phone calls, form submissions, and emails so every lead is attributed correctly. Campaigns go live and we monitor performance closely during the initial learning phase.

4
Ongoing Optimisation

We continuously refine bids, test ad variations, expand or prune keyword lists, and improve landing pages based on real data. The goal: more qualified leads for less money, month after month.

5
Monthly Reporting & Strategy Reviews

Clear, jargon-free reports showing leads generated, cost per enquiry, conversion rates, and specific actions taken. Quarterly strategy reviews ensure campaigns stay aligned with your business priorities.
