WHO’S ACTUALLY SEARCHING

Website homepage with large headline “Bristol's small business accountants,” green accents and Google #1 ranking overlay

Small business owners aren't shopping for accounting. They're shopping for someone who'll grow with them.

A trades business that's just incorporated and suddenly needs a Confirmation Statement, corporation tax, payroll and a sensible director's salary plan. An e-commerce founder who's outgrown a high-street bookkeeper. A consultancy turning over £150k and starting to wonder about VAT thresholds and pension contributions. They're past DIY accounting but not yet a big-firm client. What they want is an accountant who'll meet them where they are now and stay with them as the business gets more complicated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do small business accountants really need a website that's different from a generalist accountancy site?
Yes. Small business owners search differently to private individuals or large corporates. They use terms like "small business accountant near me", "limited company accountant [town]", or "accountant for sole traders". A generic accountancy site optimised for "accountant near me" rarely surfaces for these searches. A website built for small business accountants has a page for each service and stage of business, with the town in the URL, so the visitor lands on the page that answers their exact search.
How long does it take a small business accountancy website to start ranking on Google?
Most Frively small business accountancy sites reach page one for their target local searches within three to six months. The exact timeline depends on how competitive your catchment is and your existing online presence. The free assessment will give you a realistic view of where you'd start.
What credentials and certifications should be on my small business accountancy website?
The three things prospects scan for before they enquire: your professional membership (ICAEW, ACCA, AAT), your software certifications (Xero Certified Advisor, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Sage Approved), and your AML supervision. All three should appear in the header and on every relevant service page. The software badge should sit next to the matching service content - Xero next to the Xero accounting page, not buried on an "About" page.
Should my small business accountancy website show pricing?
In most cases, yes - at least at the level of pricing approach. Small business owners want to know what they'll pay before they enquire, and a website that answers cost questions upfront pre-qualifies enquiries. Whether you price by fixed monthly fee, by service, or hourly matters less than making your approach clear. The firm that explains how clients will be billed builds trust faster than the one that hides pricing behind a contact form.
Can I switch to a Frively small business accountancy website if I already have one?
Yes. Many of our small business accountancy clients come to us with an existing site that isn't bringing in enquiries. We migrate your content, rebuild the structure for local search, and keep your existing domain and email running throughout. There's no period where your site is offline.
What does a Frively small business accountancy website cost?
There's an upfront build fee and an ongoing monthly fee that covers hosting, updates, content refreshes, and local SEO. Pricing depends on the size of your practice and the catchment you want to cover. The free assessment includes a price estimate based on your specific situation.
