SEO for accounting firms, not accounting services for marketing agencies
SEO for accounting firms in Montreal
Where does ILUMA start with an accounting firm?
We help accounting firms attract relevant inquiries for the services they actually provide. We do not provide accounting or tax preparation. Your firm may already be busy during personal tax season but want to grow ongoing bookkeeping, corporate tax or advisory engagements. ILUMA starts with the work your firm wants, the people it can serve and the locations it covers. We improve the useful pages and inquiry path only after that assessment.
The examples on this page describe a way of working. They do not present an ILUMA client, an achieved result or a verified search volume.
Which engagements does your firm want to grow?
A reply from Sergio Ramos, not a robot.
Choose the engagement
Different clients,different engagements
Someone filing a tax return, a business owner who needs recurring bookkeeping and a decision maker looking for advice are different clients. We start from the exact services your firm wants to grow, not from a blanket keyword list.
Bookkeeping
A recurring relationship
A small-business need that comes back every month: the page explains the service, the rhythm and the first conversation.
Corporate tax
A company need
A request tied to the business structure and its deadlines: we make clear who the firm works with.
Advisory
Support for a decision
An owner with a decision to make: the page presents the expertise and how to start the conversation.
How the work flows
- 01Priority engagement
- 02Relevant search
- 03First inquiry
- 04Qualified opportunity
Examples of engagement categories, not services delivered for an ILUMA client or options to select. This is a working logic, not an attributed case.
Two audiences
What prospective accountingclients search for
A business owner might search « small business bookkeeping Laval » or « corporate tax accountant Montreal ». These are end-client examples: what your firm's future clients type, not ILUMA services and not verified volumes.
A firm looking for help with its own visibility searches differently, for example « accountant SEO » or « SEO for accountants Montreal ». This page is written for that firm.
The work
A practical approach shapedaround your firm
- Improve existing pages before considering a new website.
- Verify professional credentials, services and the locations actually covered.
- Keep the contact form simple, without asking for confidential tax records.
- Track opportunities and proposals only through the tools you agree to.
- No automatic page for every neighbourhood: only where your firm really serves clients.
Example
Illustrative scenario:a business needs monthly bookkeeping
Fictional scenario, not a documented case
A small business in Laval looks for monthly bookkeeping. A page explains the service and how a first conversation works. The owner sends a general inquiry, which the firm can qualify before offering a meeting. No contract or result is assumed.
Measurement
How success shouldbe assessed
- Google Search Console: searches and clicks, nothing more.
- Inquiries: a form or booking request, when it is properly recorded.
- Qualified leads and proposals: in the CRM, if one is agreed.
- Signed engagements and payments: only with proof.
A pipeline is not revenue: each stage is reported separately.
Questions
What accounting firmsask us
Do you provide accounting or bookkeeping services?
No. ILUMA works on SEO and business development for accounting firms. The client searches on this page are examples of what your clients type, not services we offer.
Does ILUMA provide accounting services to agencies?
No. ILUMA is not an accounting firm and does not keep books or prepare taxes for marketing, advertising or creative agencies. We help accounting firms with local SEO and business development.
Do we need a new website?
Not necessarily, and no website is included by default. Existing pages are reviewed first. If a new site is genuinely useful, it is agreed in writing.
Can we focus on business clients only?
Yes, if your firm really offers those services. We work on the engagements you choose, for example bookkeeping or corporate tax for small businesses.
Do we need pages in English and French?
As agreed, based on your clients. If part of your clientele searches in English or French, pages can be written for them in that language.
Can you guarantee inquiries?
No. No ranking, number of inquiries or timeline is guaranteed. We report impressions, clicks and inquiries separately so you can see what is actually moving.
