Facebook Ads for Accounting Firms

Facebook Ads for Accounting Firms is a done-for-you Meta advertising service designed to generate consistent enquiries for services like bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and tax returns. Instead of boosting posts, campaigns are built around measurable actions, such as booked calls, qualified lead form submissions, and tracked website enquiries, then improved through ongoing testing.

More information

What Facebook Ads for accounting firms includes

This service covers the full setup and ongoing management needed to turn Meta ads into a reliable lead channel.

  • Campaign setup in Meta Ads Manager (Facebook and Instagram placements) with a clear goal: leads, calls, or tracked website enquiries.
  • Audience targeting built around real buying signals, such as business owners, directors, sole traders, landlords, contractors, and local SMEs.
  • Offer and message development for accounting services, for example “switch your bookkeeping”, “fixed-fee payroll”, “self-assessment support”, “limited company accounts”.
  • Ad creative and copy that fits a regulated, trust-led service, with clear qualifiers to reduce low-intent leads.
  • Lead capture via Instant Forms (with qualifying questions) or traffic to a dedicated landing page.
  • Retargeting for website visitors and engaged users to bring back people who compared options but did not enquire.
  • Conversion tracking setup and validation (Pixel, events, and lead tracking) so results are tied to real actions, not vanity metrics.
  • Iterative testing of audiences, hooks, formats and offers to improve cost per lead and lead quality over time.
  • Simple reporting focused on enquiries, booked calls and cost per result, with clear next steps.

Typical use cases for Facebook Ads in an accounting firm

  • Building a steady pipeline outside of referrals.
  • Promoting a specific service line, such as payroll, bookkeeping, VAT returns, R&D tax claims, or year-end accounts.
  • Generating demand ahead of deadlines (self-assessment, year end, VAT quarters) without relying on last-minute visibility.
  • Filling capacity with better-fit clients by using qualifying questions and service-specific messaging.

From setup to first live campaigns

  • Week 1: confirm the offer, ideal client, service area, and what counts as a conversion (call, form, booked meeting).
  • Week 1: build campaign structure, audiences, tracking, and initial ads.
  • Week 2: launch with controlled budgets, review early signals (lead volume, quality, cost), then adjust targeting and messaging.

Ongoing optimisation to improve lead quality

Meta ads perform best when they are actively managed. Ongoing work focuses on filtering out poor-fit leads, scaling what converts, and keeping results stable as costs change.

  • Refreshing creatives and hooks to prevent fatigue.
  • Tightening qualifiers (questions, copy, exclusions) to reduce “price shoppers” and irrelevant enquiries.
  • Retargeting adjustments based on site behaviour and lead intent.
  • Regular testing so performance improves rather than drifting.

What you need in place for best results

  • A clear list of services you want to sell and who you want to sell them to.
  • A way to respond quickly to leads, ideally same day, to improve booked-call rates.
  • If using landing pages, a focused page with one action, clear service scope, and a simple enquiry path.

    We went from 10 pages in our old site to 113 in Frively. From ranking for our own name locally to what we do nationally. We have seen an increase in bookings, enquiries and new clients. Excellent service and value. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can Facebook ads start generating leads for my accounting firm?
Most campaigns can start producing leads within the first 1 to 2 weeks once tracking, audiences and ads are live. Lead quality usually improves over the first month as targeting and qualifiers are refined.
Do you run ads on Instagram as well as Facebook?
Yes. Campaigns can run across Facebook and Instagram through Meta Ads Manager, with placements chosen based on cost per lead and lead quality. Reporting focuses on results, not the platform.
Should we use Meta lead forms or send people to a landing page?
Lead forms often generate more volume and can include qualifying questions to filter enquiries. Landing pages usually suit higher-value services where you need more explanation before someone books a call; the best option depends on your offer and capacity.
What budget do we need for Facebook Ads for Accounting Firms?
Budget depends on the service line, local competition, and how many leads you want each month. A sensible starting point is a test budget that allows for consistent daily delivery, then you scale once cost per qualified lead is stable.
How do you track conversions and measure ROI?
Tracking is set up around real actions, such as booked calls, completed forms, and key website events. Results are reported as cost per lead and lead outcomes where available, so you can judge performance against your client value.
