Case Study: AuerCPA — Accounting Firm Marketing Strategy That Grows With You

Six Years of SEO, Ads, and Website Strategy for a Modern CPA Firm

The Challenge

MINA'S FOCUS -

AuerCPA is a trusted accounting firm in Northern Colorado, supporting individuals and small businesses with tax prep, bookkeeping, and financial clarity. Since 2018, The Mina Company has partnered with Auer to lead their digital marketing strategy — including SEO for accountants, Google Ads, custom website development, social media, and branded photography. The result? A consistent flow of leads, a polished brand presence, and a digital strategy that evolves with the firm.

The Challenge: When we began working with AuerCPA, they had strong word-of-mouth referrals but limited online visibility. As they opened new locations and expanded their services, they needed SEO that would rank locally, a website built to convert, and paid search ads to support key tax seasons — all while maintaining a personal, trustworthy tone.

Our Strategy

We provided a comprehensive digital marketing approach specifically tailored for accounting firms:

  • Built and launched a modern, conversion-friendly CPA firm website

  • Ongoing SEO for accounting services, with emphasis on tax prep, 1099 support, and small business keywords

  • Targeted Google Ads campaigns around tax season and quarterly business filings

  • Branded social media content + photography to humanize the firm and increase trust

  • Monthly strategy + analytics to adapt content and ads to seasonal client needs

“With AuerCPA, we built marketing that reflects what they actually offer — peace of mind, strategic support, and modern professionalism.”

Redesigning AuerCPA’s Website for Trust, Clarity & Search Visibility

In 2023, we led a full website redesign for AuerCPA to better align with their existing logo, brand colors, and down-to-earth approach. The goal was to create a site that felt clean, trustworthy, and approachable — reflecting their commitment to both professionalism and personalized support. We streamlined the navigation, rewrote service pages with SEO in mind, and added clear calls-to-action that made it easier for prospective clients to book. The result is a site that not only looks and feels like Auer, but also performs — driving conversions and reinforcing their reputation as a modern, service-first CPA firm.

What Kind of Marketing Do Accounting Firms Actually Need?

Clarity, credibility, and conversion support.
For most CPA firms, the right clients aren’t scrolling endlessly — they’re searching. We helped AuerCPA show up in Google results with the right keywords, build trust through branding, and convert seasonal traffic with clear calls to action. That’s what real strategy looks like for accountants.

Ep. 6 is out now: The Season of Letting Go 🌊 When Erica’s fifth grader came home upset about a history test, the old Erica would have spiraled. Did we study enough? What does this say about me as a mom? This time, she let it go. They made a simple plan for next time and went to bed. This episode is about that kind of letting go, with the little things and the big ones. Erica gets into how AI is shaking the ground under her business (and why she’s loving it), what it takes to step back and let your team lead even when it’s not done exactly your way, and how she makes decisions from a place of calm when everything is moving at once. Listen here https://ericavandersande.com/podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts! #ConversationsInTheDark #LettingGo #WomenInBusiness #FemaleFounder #Entrepreneurship #AIforBusiness #Leadership #Motherhood #SmallBusinessPodcast

Most businesses run their channels in silos. Ads over here, SEO over there, social doing its own thing. Nobody's connecting them. And a lot of the time they're not just disconnected, they're not that strategic to begin with. Both things hold you back. The real wins come when your channels are actually good and actually working together, all pointed at the same goal. Once they're connected, your numbers start making sense. You can finally see what's driving your leads instead of guessing between platforms that never agree. That's what we build for our clients. Want to see if yours are pulling in the same direction? Let's talk. Want to see if yours are pulling in the same direction? Let's talk. DM us or visit theminacompany.com

Everyone wants the top spot on Google. Our goal is to get you there, first page and ultimately the #1 spot, in the shortest amount of time possible. We'll be honest with you though: SEO is a long game and results take time. We tell clients to expect little movement in the first 3 months after setup, then slow, steady growth month over month, as long as you're keeping up with monthly maintenance. The clients who win at this treat it as a long game. That's exactly how we run it, and we've got the rankings to show for it. Curious where you stand today? Let's talk. DM us or visit theminacompany.com

Ep. 5 is out now: Do It Scared 🥋 Erica gets into the part of growth nobody likes to talk about. Not the shiny goal, and not the moment you finally feel good at something, but the awkward middle where you're a beginner again, your inner voice is screaming at you to quit, and nothing is guaranteed. It starts with her seven-year-old melting down in the car before moving up to a harder jujitsu class, and turns into the thing every business owner needs to hear. The people who make it aren't the ones who felt ready. They're the ones who did it scared and stayed in the awkward middle long enough to find their footing. If you're standing at the edge of a big scary next step right now, this one's for you. Listen wherever you listen to podcasts!

Read those two slides again. Same situations, two completely different responses. One side is protecting revenue. The other is protecting you, even when the honest answer costs us the upsell, the extra scope, or the deal itself. Open and honest communication is one of our core values, and this is what it actually looks like in practice. Not a line on our website, but the thing we choose in the moments where spinning it would be easier. Telling you what dipped. Telling you to cut what isn't working. Telling you when we might not be the right fit before you've signed anything. That kind of honesty is uncomfortable sometimes. It's also the only thing a real relationship can be built on. Which side has your marketing been on?
