Adwords for CPAs

Does your CPA practice need a good RainMaker? If you do then you need to meet Google Adwords the Monster in the online advertising world. There are several reasons why Google Adwords works well in the accounting industry and here are a few of the highlights:

  • Accurate Regional Ad Delivery - advertise only to your market
  • High Value Leads - Proactive buyers searching for CPA services
  • Focused Advertising - Use a rifle not a shotgun
  • Low Cost - pay only for what you need
  • Fits any budget

We realize that not all CPA firms offer the same services or have the same marketing objectives and strategies. CPA firms need to either proactively find new business or hold their brand position in the market. Both of these objectives can be supported by an investment in Google Adwords. The key is to know what your goal is and then design your Adwords to make that goal happen.

Google is the Yellow Pages of the Internet

If you want to find a business you just Google it. If the business does not come up it says a lot about that business and none of it is good. One comment you hear is that we come up first for our name so why bother advertising for it? This would seem good logic but it is very very flawed. First the cost of advertising for your name is a small amount of money and this is a perfect lead. They know who you are and they are looking for you. Can you really afford to not be there? The one constant in Google is change and you can be on page 1 today and page 500 tomorrow. We know it's crazy but it is the way it is.

Myth: People never click on the ads

This one kills me every time I hear it "I never click on the ads". If this were true then Google would not be an $18 billion business with 90% of their revenue coming from Adwords. The truth is that depending on our frame of mind we sometimes look at the ads and sometimes we do not. When people are in research mode most do not interact with the ads but when they are in buying mode they do.

Myth: Nobody uses Google to find a CPA

People use Google to find all types of businesses and they expect every business to be in Google. It is true that CPAs are not picked based on Google Adwords but even in the classic referral sale Adwords can sometimes play a supporting role. When your client recommends you to a prospective client what do you think they do? They Google your practice and if they do not find it your referral is burned and your practice does not grow. Bottom line is that most people Google your business and visit your web site before they call you.
