This week we continue our series of blog articles ’16 mistakes made by accountants – and how to avoid them’. There is significant confusion over what clients and prospects expect of their accountants online, so it’s little wonder that the result is a mess! Small amounts of activity are undertaken with little or no joined up plan in place.
Let’s start by asking a few simple questions about your current site:
Few accountancy firms would accept anything but the very highest standards offline. Yet so many still accept very
poor standards online. Thousands of firms don’t even have a goal for their website. Perhaps your site is simply there because you have to have one – and that’s it! And that’s a big mistake, because you could be missing out on a host of opportunities.
Every potential new client will ‘check you out’ using your website – even before they contact you. Firms that have
won customers directly as a result of launching their App report that their web traffic has also increased significantly.
Even your existing clients will use your website if they are looking for online solutions to the accountancy challenges
they face.
The right website will help you generate high quality visitors and new enquiries at a controllable rate. It will also help
form a big part of your inbound marketing plan (more on that to follow). It helps you position your firm as advanced
and reach out to savvy business owners.

and how to create a site that achieves that goal.
