Making a neighborhood tax preparer easy to find before April 15th.

What we built

Scope of the work.

✓

Website development

A straightforward site built around booking an appointment and starting the document process, so clients can get moving without a phone call during the busiest weeks of the year.

✓

Digital marketing

Content timed to the tax calendar — deadline reminders, document checklists — published when people are actually thinking about filing.

✓

Online ads & custom design

Seasonal, geo-targeted ads for the Jacksonville area concentrated in the filing-season window, paired with a design built around trust and clarity.

✓

SEO

Local visibility for tax-preparation searches in Jacksonville, built to compete with national chains on local relevance rather than budget.

Why this one's different

A seasonal business doesn't get a second chance at the calendar.

Most of a tax preparer's business gets decided in a compressed window each year, so the marketing had to front-load visibility and trust-building before filing season hits, not build it gradually over twelve months. That meant leaning hard into local search and timed content rather than a slow-burn brand campaign.

FAQ

Do you work with tax preparers and other seasonal service businesses?
Yes — Trusty Taxes is a good example. The marketing calendar is built around the client's actual busy season instead of spreading effort evenly across the year.
How do you compete with national tax-prep chains on a local budget?
By focusing on local search terms and neighborhood relevance — a chain outspends on national brand awareness, but local relevance and reviews still win the local searches that matter.
What should a tax preparer's website prioritize?
A fast path to booking an appointment or starting the document process, since most clients decide quickly once filing season starts.
