A hand-coded website for your accountants business — built to rank from day one
I build hand-coded Next.js websites for accountants. Pure code — no WordPress, no page builder, no marketplace theme. Built for the conversion path your accountants customers actually use (consultation-booking conversion) and for the search terms they actually type into Google.
The site ships with the same level of technical SEO work that this very site has: semantic HTML, schema.org markup on every page type, internal linking architecture, Core Web Vitals in the green, mobile-first. Schema-wise, the build includes the appropriate ICAEW, ACCA, AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians), and local chamber of commerce registration display on the homepage and every service page that mentions qualified work.
Pair the build with the local SEO retainer and the site launches into work that compounds month over month.
Why accountants specifically
What a hand-coded site does for your trade
Accountants get planned-work engagements — annual accounts, tax returns, payroll, audit. Customers research for 1-2 weeks before instructing, especially around HMRC deadlines (January self-assessment, April new tax year).
ICAEW / ACCA / AAT qualification display on every page that mentions qualified work. Schema markup on the registration card.
HMRC-deadline-driven content ranks well in the SERP. "Self-assessment tax return deadline January 2027" type content earns featured snippets and positions the firm as the go-to deadline resource.
Service pages for the high-volume services (annual accounts, VAT returns, payroll, corporation tax) earn the most organic traffic. Each gets a dedicated service page with fee structure (where publishable) and timeline.
Free-consultation CTA is the conversion goal. Customers want to know if the firm is the right fit before committing. The CTA copy matters more than the form fields.
Service variants
The accountants services this build ranks for
Each service variant gets a dedicated service page on the build. Schema markup on every one. Internal linking between related variants. The result: a single build ranks for dozens of long-tail queries, not just the head term.
Accountants annual accounts
Accountants self-assessment tax return
Accountants corporation tax
Accountants VAT returns
Accountants payroll

Trust and certification
ICAEW, ACCA, AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians), and local chamber of commerce registration, displayed correctly
ICAEW, ACCA, AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians), and local chamber of commerce registration display is the single highest-trust signal on a accountants website. Schema markup on the registration card means Google can surface it as a knowledge-panel attribute and accountants without registration don't compete on the same SERP feature.

Frequently asked questions
How do [city] accountants rank for Ltd company accountant searches?
Ltd company searches are high-intent and high-value. The customer is a director looking for annual accounts + corporation tax. The ranking signals that matter most: GBP services explicitly include annual accounts + corporation tax, reviews from Ltd company directors, citations on the ICAEW / ACCA / AAT registers, and content targeting the Ltd company fee searches (how much does an accountant cost for a Ltd company).
What GBP categories should a [city] accountant use?
Primary: 'Accountant'. Then secondary based on your client mix: Tax preparation service, Bookkeeping service, Payroll service, Financial planner. Pick 3-5 max. For [city] specifically, list every service you offer so Google can match you to the relevant searches.
How important are reviews for [city] accountants?
Critical - clients compare 3-5 firms on reviews. Detailed reviews that mention specific services and outcomes ('annual accounts + corporation tax, smooth process') carry 10x the SEO weight of generic 5-stars. We push for reviews after every successful engagement and respond to every review personally.
How much does a hand-coded website cost for a accountants business?
Same as anywhere in the UK: £1,500-£5,000 one-off, fixed quote. The exact figure depends on the number of pages and the complexity of the integrations. For accountants, the conversion path is consultation-booking conversion — your build needs to optimise for that, which a hand-coded site does by default and a page builder rarely does well.
Do you build sites for accountants specifically?
Yes. The build process is the same regardless of trade, but the conversion-path engineering is tuned to how accountants customers actually search and book. The site schema includes the relevant ICAEW, ACCA, AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians), and local chamber of commerce registration display where applicable. Accountants sites get service-area pages that match the search intent for your most-searched service variants: annual accounts, self-assessment tax return, corporation tax, VAT returns.
