Why Marketplaces Still Matter

When people need tax help, they don’t always start with Google.
They start with trust.

They want a directory. A marketplace. A place where they can compare providers, read reviews, and feel confident they’re making the right choice.

That’s why we built TaxBuzz.

What TaxBuzz Is

TaxBuzz is a marketplace where millions of people search every year for:

• Tax preparers.
  
• CPAs.
  
• EAs.
  
• Accountants and advisors who can solve real financial problems.
  

Directories aren’t dead. TaxBuzz turns them into lead engines that match the right clients to your expertise.

As a CountingWorks PRO VIP client, you get a TaxBuzz profile that does more than just list your name. It:

• Drives leads. Prospects come straight from the marketplace to you.
  
• Hosts your reviews. Control your reputation and feed reviews back to your website.
  
• Boosts your SEO. High-authority inbound links push your site higher in search rankings.
  
• Positions you as a thought leader. Publish blogs on TaxBuzz to raise your Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EAT) scores.
  

How MAX Makes It Smarter

Generic directories just list names. MAX makes TaxBuzz intelligent.

• Prospects searching on TaxBuzz get matched with you based on:
  
  • Your skills and specialties.
    
  • Your location.
    
  • Your budget fit.
    
• The more context MAX has about your firm, the better the matches.
  
• That means you don’t just get leads — you get the right leads.
