The challenge
Referrals are valuable. They are not a growth strategy.
Most accounting firms still rely heavily on referrals, repeat clients and word of mouth. That works until growth slows, a competitor becomes more visible or the firm wants to expand into new services or locations.
The problem is usually not a lack of expertise. It is that the website does not clearly separate tax, advisory, SMSF, bookkeeping and other services, so Google and AI platforms struggle to understand what the firm should appear for.
We focus on the searches that can lead to real enquiries, then improve the service pages, location visibility, Google Business Profile and AI Search presence around them.

Reviews from accounting firms
What accountants say about working with Ranknv
Real feedback from accounting and financial services businesses that wanted clearer SEO direction, stronger visibility and more valuable enquiries.
"Working with Josh & Rank NV has been a massive weight off my shoulders after many years of failed agencies who overcharge, over promise and under deliver. From day one, his no-bullshit approach, clear communication, and honesty around deliverables stood out. There’s no fluff, no smoke and mirrors just straight-talking, reliable service that actually delivers results."
Ryan FIsher – Black Jacket Suiting
"Josh and the team are the best digital marketing business in the game. They’ve ensured that we get plenty of leads and that we’re consistently on the first page. They’re the best."
Simon Burke – Acctivate
"Have used multiple seo agencies over the last 5 years and spent big, spent small and everything in between and no one was able to show consistent results. Some even went backwards. Josh has managed our seo for the last 6 months and is making some great improvement on possibly the hardest industry to work with"
Daniel Ufer – Priority Insurance Brokers
"Josh knows his stuff when it comes to website and SEO. I engaged Josh a few months ago, the website was up an running in about 6 weeks. He did all the content strategy and mapping out of the outline and how it should be structured and made it all come together in a quality website that works. I've had more engagements and enquiries in the last 3 months, than i did with my old website was live. I have also queried him post implementation and he has no problems making tweaks to the website to optimise it further."
Leigh Smith – Trackwealth
"Josh has helped GQ Electrical with a website re-vamp. He has done an exceptional job and continues to provide us with on going updates and tweaks to the site. Our number of online enquiries has skyrocketed since Josh has become involved."

Christian Harris – Claimboost
"I’ve worked with Josh for a few years now and he’s been excellent. He’s helped significantly strengthen our online presence and, more importantly, generate consistent leads through the door. He’s proactive, easy to deal with and genuinely cares about delivering results. Highly recommend."
Tyrone Shandiman – Strata Insurance Solutions

Their work on our Google Ads has made a huge difference Josh is incredibly reliable and always takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense.

FAQ
Before we start
What accounting firms usually want to know
How is SEO for accounting firms different from general SEO?
The focus is on trust, service intent, location and the type of client you want. We create clear visibility around each accounting service rather than chasing broad traffic that never turns into an enquiry.
Do we need a separate page for every accounting service?
Usually, yes. Tax, business advisory, SMSF, bookkeeping and virtual CFO searches have different intent. Strong individual pages make it easier for potential clients, Google and AI platforms to understand what your firm offers.
Can you improve our local visibility?
Yes. We review your Google Business Profile, local pages, service areas, reviews and location signals so your firm is easier to find across Google Search and Maps.
Can you help us grow across multiple locations?
Yes. We can target individual cities, suburbs, regions or national searches, depending on how the firm operates and where you want new clients to come from.
Can you help us appear in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
Yes. We improve the clarity, structure and trust signals across your website so AI Search platforms can better understand your firm, services, expertise and locations.
Will we work directly with the person doing the SEO?
Yes. There is no sales handoff or account-manager layer. You speak directly with the person reviewing the data, setting the direction and doing the work.
Do you offer fixed SEO packages?
No. The work depends on what is holding the firm back, which services you want to grow and where the strongest search opportunities are.
