Purpose CPA

Purpose CPA is a small Canadian accounting firm competing in one of the most competitive digital landscapes: tax and financial services. Larger players like TurboTax, the CRA, and national firms dominate the search results, making it nearly impossible for a local firm to stand out.

Services Provided: Content Marketing, CRO, Website Redesign

Location: Vancouver, BC

Industry: Accounting & Finance

The Challenge

The firm came to us with a clear goal:
 
  • Grow organic traffic without a big ad budget
  • Win rankings against larger competitors
  • Turn their website into a real lead engine

Course of Action

We focused on SEO strategies that give small firms an edge:
 
  • Target audience discovery: Identified search intent across individuals, contractors, and small business owners.
  • Competitor analysis: Studied top-ranking pages from the CRA, TurboTax, and large firms.
  • Keyword research: Found “cusp” keywords where Purpose CPA already ranked just outside the top 3, top 11-20, and 21-30.
  • Content strategy: Wrote strategic content briefs to improve and expand content to be clearer, more practical, and more useful than the competition.
  • On-page SEO: Cleaned up internal links, optimized on-page, and added custom infographics.
Over a 3-month sprint, with their part-time marketer we:
 
  • Strategically rewrote 14 key service and resource pages
  • Optimized on-page SEO and content to improve click-through rates (CTR)
  • Designed custom infographics to simplify complex tax concepts
  • Added internal links to eliminate orphan pages and improve crawlability
No link building, no giant budget, just precision content work.
