Marketing built around the clients you actually want.
For Louisiana professional services

Your firm is invisible where clients are actually searching.

Google. ChatGPT. We make sure your firm is the answer — across every search surface that matters.

Two phones side by side. Left phone shows Google search results for 'best CPA Lafayette LA' with a Louisiana professional services firm ranked first. Right phone shows ChatGPT answering 'Best CPA in Lafayette for small business' and naming the same firm at the top.

The shift

Search just changed. Most firms haven’t noticed.

Three years ago, ranking on Google was the entire game. It isn’t anymore.

One

Nobody types “CPA near me” anymore.

They ask their phone full sentences. “Who’s the best CPA for small business in Lafayette?” “Which Houma firm handles oilfield 1099 contractors?” “What consultant should I hire to get my Thibodaux business through tax season?” These conversational queries go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — and if your firm hasn’t been built to show up in those answers, you’re invisible at the exact moment a client decides who to call.

Two

The Google map pack is the new front page.

Around eighty percent of the clicks for “accountant near me” or “consultant near me” go to the three firms in the Google map. If your Google Business Profile isn’t optimized — categories, services, photos geotagged to your actual city, review velocity, posts, Q&A — your beautiful website might as well not exist. We’ve watched firms with $40K websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.

Three

Your website’s code is doing more harm than your content.

Most professional service websites are missing the technical foundation search engines and AI tools need to understand them: structured schema markup (telling Google you’re an Accountant, FinancialService, or ProfessionalService — not a generic business), clean meta descriptions that show up in search snippets, alt text on every image, semantic heading structure, and WCAG-compliant accessibility. You don’t need to know how any of this works — but if your developer didn’t build it in, your firm gets skipped over by the algorithm and exposed to ADA lawsuits at the same time.

Full service · one team

Eight things most professional firms hire eight different people to do.

We do all of it under one roof, market-exclusive — meaning we only work with one firm per category per city.

01AI search optimization

The new front page of the internet is a ChatGPT or Perplexity answer — not a Google results page. We engineer your firm to be the name AI tools cite when a client asks “best CPA in Lafayette for small business taxes” or “consultant in Houma for restaurant operations.” That means structured data the LLMs can parse, authoritative content on every service you offer, real third-party citations across professional directories, and ongoing monitoring of how you appear across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews. If you’re not the firm being mentioned, you’re invisible at the moment the client decides who to call.

02Google Business Profile & map pack

Around eighty percent of clicks on “accountant near me” or “consultant near me” go to the three firms in the Google map — not the ten organic results below. We rebuild your Google Business Profile from the inside out: correct primary and secondary categories, every service listed with real descriptions, photos geotagged to your actual city, weekly posts, Q&A populated with real client questions, and a review velocity that signals to Google you’re an active, trusted firm. We’ve watched firms with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.

03Local SEO & citations

The signals that move local ranking aren’t on your website — they’re spread across the open web. We run Yext-backed citation cleanup across 70+ professional and general directories so your firm name, address, and phone match everywhere, build the internal linking structure search engines need to crawl your service pages, and create dedicated content hubs for every type of work you do (small business tax, audits, bookkeeping, advisory, payroll, succession). The result is that Google starts to see your firm as the authority on each service in each city you serve, not a generic “accountant” or “consultant” listing.

04Google Ads & lead capture

Most professional services Google Ads campaigns burn money on click volume that never becomes a real engagement. We build conversion-tracked campaigns around lifetime client value — high-intent keywords like “small business CPA Lafayette” or “tax planning consultant Houma,” tightly geo-targeted, with negative keyword lists that filter out individual filers and DIY tax searchers. Every form, phone call, and chat is tied back to the campaign and ad group that produced it, so we can show you cost-per-signed-engagement, not just cost-per-click. When something stops working we kill it; when something is winning we scale it.

05Review automation

Reviews are the single biggest local ranking factor outside of Google Business Profile setup, and they’re the thing your front-desk team will not consistently do. We install a multi-step SMS and email review request sequence that fires automatically after a case closes — nudging the client at the right intervals, routing happy clients to Google and unhappy ones to a private feedback form first. We also draft and post your responses to every review so neither praise nor criticism sits unanswered. The compounding effect is what eventually pushes you into the map pack and keeps you there.

06Website design & updates

Most professional service websites were built once, three to five years ago, and have not been touched since. We build (or rebuild) yours on WordPress hosted at Kinsta — fast, secure, and easy for us to maintain — with dedicated service pages, partner/principal bios that read like a human wrote them, location pages for every city you serve, and intake forms that actually capture useful client detail. Then we keep it current: new blog posts, page refreshes when service mix shifts, schema updates when Google changes its rules, and quarterly audits to catch anything broken. Your website should be working harder every month, not quietly decaying.

07Technical SEO & ADA accessibility

The unglamorous backbone most agencies ignore. We implement professional-services schema markup (Accountant, FinancialService, ProfessionalService), optimize meta titles and descriptions for every page, write descriptive alt text, fix heading structure, audit your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and publish an accessibility statement. Together that’s what makes Google understand your firm — and what keeps you out of an ADA lawsuit.

08Content & social that positions you as the expert

Two posts a week across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn — written in your voice, designed to position you as the authority on your practice area in your city. We also monitor mentions and reviews so a bad day on the internet doesn’t become a reputation problem. Plus blog content written to be cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity, not stuffed with keywords from 2018.

How we work

One firm per category per city. Yours, if you want it.

Market exclusivity isn’t a tagline — it’s how we make sure your competitors never get the same plays we run for you.

  • Free visibility audit before you sign anything
  • Month-to-month — no 12-month contracts
  • We sign with one firm per category per city (Lafayette · Houma · Baton Rouge · Lake Charles · Thibodaux · Prairieville · Youngsville)
  • Direct access to Kayce, not an account manager rotation
  • Monthly reporting that shows leads, calls, and case value — not just impressions
  • Everything done in-house — no offshoring, no white-label resellers

Common questions

What professional services owners actually ask.

National agencies treat your firm like account #4,237. They rotate account managers every six months, lean on offshore teams, and roll out the same playbook for a Lafayette CPA shop that they use for a Cleveland accounting firm. We live here. We know the parishes, the local industries (oil & gas, healthcare, construction, hospitality), and which cities are bleeding clients to which competitors. And you talk to me — not whoever picked up your file this week.
No annual lock-ins. We ask for a 3-month minimum on ongoing services like SEO and ad management — that’s the honest window for the work to actually show results, and anything shorter means you’re paying for setup without ever seeing the payoff. After that, it’s month-to-month with 30 days notice. One-time projects like a website build or audit aren’t on a contract at all.
It depends entirely on what your firm actually needs. Everything we do is à la carte — you build the engagement around the gaps in your visibility, not a generic tier someone else is paying for. The number changes based on whether you need a brand-new website or just updates to the one you have, whether you want monthly video content or photo-only social, how aggressive you want to go on local SEO and AI search visibility, whether ADA compliance work is in scope, and whether you’re running paid ads on top of organic. After your free audit, I’ll show you exactly what’s broken, what’s missing, and what each piece costs — then you pick what you want to start with. No bundles you don’t need.
Map pack and review velocity move first — usually 30-60 days. Organic ranking and AI search citations take 60-120 days. We send a monthly report so you can see exactly what shifted and what didn’t.
No. We only sign one firm per category per city. If your direct competitor is already on our roster, we’d refer you to a vetted partner agency instead.
We assess your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, document the compliance gaps, implement the fixes within our scope (alt text, heading structure, form labels, color contrast, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels), and publish an accessibility statement signed and dated. No agency can issue a legal certification — anyone who says they can is misleading you — but this substantially reduces your lawsuit exposure and shows a good-faith effort that matters in court.
Me — Kayce Sadler, owner — plus a small, vetted team I’ve worked with for years. Everything is done in-house and based in the United States. No offshoring to overseas contractors, no farming the work out to agencies in Asia. Every page, ad, and piece of content is built and reviewed here before it ships.
Ready when you are

Free visibility audit. No pitch attached.

Twenty minutes. I look at your Google rankings, AI search visibility, GBP, ADA exposure, and the firms clients are picking instead of yours. You leave with a report whether we work together or not.
