The Ghost Town Blog Problem
We’ve all seen it: a tax or accounting firm’s website with a blog last updated in… 2017.
A blog like that doesn’t say “thought leader.” It says “abandoned project.”
And in the modern age, clients notice. A dead blog signals that you’re either not active, not up-to-date, or not paying attention. None of which inspire trust.
But keeping a blog alive—timely, accurate, optimized—is brutally hard without the right tools.
The Pain Point: Why Blogging Is So Hard for Firms
Running an effective blog in the tax & accounting space requires juggling a dozen skills most firms don’t have in-house:
- Technical Accuracy: You need someone who knows tax law and accounting regulations.
- Professional Writing: You need a writer who can simplify complex topics without losing meaning.
- SEO Strategy: You need to structure content with keywords, schema, headings, and metadata.
- Design & Images: You need licensed, professional photography (stock mistakes = legal trouble).
- Consistency: You need 15–25 new posts a month to stay relevant. One or two per year won’t cut it.
- Bandwidth: You and your staff are busy running the firm, not running a newsroom.
To get all of this right? You’d need a full-time marketing team—costing $30,000–$50,000+ per year.
Why Consistent Blogs Matter in the AI Age
- Timely, Relevant Touchpoints
Life events happen year-round: selling a business, saving for education, buying a home, divorce, retirement. Blogs let you meet clients at each stage with guidance. - Educational, Not Salesy
Modern clients want value before they buy. A blog builds trust through education, not hard selling. - SEO & GEO Ranking
Fresh content signals activity to Google. Localized posts help you rank in your niche and location. - Thought Leadership Positioning
Regular, accurate content positions you as the trusted authority in your community and specialties. - Content Amplification
Blogs fuel social media, newsletters, and referrals—making every article work harder for you.
What Most Tax & Accounting Pros Get Wrong
- They launch a blog and stop after two posts.
- They try DIY or “Cousin Sal” websites, which look fine but lack content.
- They copy vendor libraries that churn out thin, duplicate articles.
- They don’t write for SEO—missing schema, headings, and keyword strategy.
- They underestimate the time, cost, and expertise required to maintain accuracy.
The result: dead blogs, duplicate blogs, or no blogs—none of which drive growth.
