A Southern Illinois accounting firm with no digital footprint became Monroe County's most-visible CPA — 101% Google Search visibility lift, 62% Maps visibility, 56% more calls.
Sharon M. Gum, CPA is a Southern Illinois accounting firm serving small businesses. Focused on business advisory, tax, and payroll, they were restricted by a complete absence of online assets — no website, no optimized social profiles, and an unclaimed Google Business Profile.
Sharon M. Gum, CPA had no organic keyword capture, no inbound leads from search, and almost no authority in Google Maps. Their GBP was unclaimed and mis-categorized. They had no reviews, weakening client trust signals.
Their existing Facebook page was misbranded and inactive. They were invisible to qualified local prospects despite high-value search traffic.
We introduced a digital foundation: their first WordPress site, technical SEO, claimed and optimized GBP, weekly content, Google Maps campaign. Press releases and local citation networks reinforced authority.
Responsive, optimized for local searches.
Claimed, optimized, with structured review collection.
Niche-authority content for accounting topics.
Citations + directories network.
Syndicated to high-authority media.
From total invisibility to Monroe County leader within 12 months — optimized GBP, review campaigns, content structures, and consistent brand-building gave the firm a competitive edge.
Whatever your stage. Exploring, evaluating, or ready to move. We meet you there. No pressure, no slide-deck theater.
