Why Some Accounting Firms Are Using a Multiple Website Approach
Some of the more entrepreneurial accounting firms (or savvy) are using several websites to improve the quality of their lead generation. In other words, they realize that they are not limited to just one website and have embarked upon a multiple website strategy to generate more leads and improve the quality of their lead generation.
By all means, the large regional CPA firms have dramatically improved their online presentation. Most were extremely slow to come to the dance because every decision has to be agreed upon by the partners (more like a UN Summit). However, their visual presentation is now consistent with their brand image and the core services are communicated onto one corporate website. And yes, most of the savvy large firms are supporting the website with quality blog posts and with social media as well, which leverages their critical mass and deeper bench strength.
And while the large CPA firms had their kumbaya sessions and moved like a tortoise, several smaller accounting firms are using a multiple website strategy to penetrate the niches, improve lead generation, and moving quickly like a jack rabbit because they realize that effective internet marketing is inexpensive and it works.
Below are examples of accounting firms using a multiple website strategy to make more money. The corporate website positions them as both a local generalist AND the niche website positions them as a boutique firm which focuses on a specific type of business or service.

Don’t assume one website fits all needs.
