Take Back Control of Your Business Growth
Without Ads or Agencies

3local helps you dominate local search across every town, suburb, and village—so you get predictable leads, daily enquiries, and complete independence from SEO retainers or ad spend.

What is 3local and how can it help my accountancy firm?

3local is a location-based SEO platform that boosts your visibility in Google searches across your surrounding area. It helps more local clients find your accountancy or bookkeeping services by generating search-optimised location pages tied to your Google Business Profile.

I already have a website. Why should I use 3local as well?

Your existing site may rank well in your home town, but 3local helps you appear in additional nearby towns and villages. It works independently on a sub-domain, so there’s no interference with your main site or branding.

Will 3local help me attract small business clients from nearby areas?

Yes. 3local builds geo-targeted content that appeals to local business owners searching for accounting or bookkeeping help in their own postcodes—even if you’re based elsewhere.

How does 3local actually work for accountants?

3local connects to your Google Business Profile and builds structured, SEO-friendly web pages targeting your services in nearby towns—helping Google understand who you are, where you operate and what you offer.

Do I need to run Google Ads alongside 3local?

No. 3local is designed to increase your organic search presence, meaning you can reduce or eliminate reliance on costly ad campaigns.

Can I use 3local if I offer both bookkeeping and tax services?

Absolutely. You can list multiple services—such as tax returns, payroll, self-assessment, VAT, CIS, or company accounts—and 3local will create a dedicated page for each service in each target location.

How does 3local improve my Google rankings?

It uses local schema, maps integration, and keyword-rich location pages to signal your relevance to Google for searches like “accountant in [town]” or “bookkeeping services near me”.

Can I appear in searches outside my main town or city?

Yes. If you’re based in one location but serve clients in surrounding areas, 3local helps you show up in those search results as well—without needing a separate office or website for each town.

Will 3local help me compete with larger firms?

Yes. Many national or city-based firms overlook local SEO. 3local gives smaller practices an advantage by ranking for hyper-local and long-tail keywords like “freelancer accountant in [village name]”.

Can I promote specialist services, like cloud accounting or Making Tax Digital (MTD) support?

Yes—if you offer niche or compliance-specific services, 3local ensures each is clearly listed on every local page, boosting your relevance for those searches.

Will 3local help with seasonal demand like tax return deadlines?

Definitely. You can request pages that include time-sensitive keywords like “urgent tax return help” or “last-minute self-assessment” for your local area.

Is 3local suitable for both independent bookkeepers and established practices?

Yes. Whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a growing firm, 3local scales to suit your structure and services.

Does it work well for remote or virtual accountants?

Yes. If you serve clients online but want to attract business in specific regions, 3local helps position your services in those local searches—whether or not you meet clients in person.

I don’t understand SEO. Will I be able to use 3local?

Yes. If you can log in and select your services and locations, 3local takes care of the rest automatically. No technical knowledge is required for 3local.

Is it safe to use 3local alongside my current SEO provider?

Yes. 3local is designed to complement—not conflict with—any current SEO work, and it won’t impact your main website’s rankings.

Can I choose which areas I want to rank in?

Yes. You set a central location (e.g., your office or service postcode) and 3local builds outwards to include nearby towns and suburbs within your chosen radius.

What keywords will my firm appear for?

Keywords typically include service + location combinations, such as “bookkeeper in [town]”, “limited company accountant near [village]”, or “VAT return specialist [area]”. You can make edits to all of the content inside your dashboard to target any keywords you choose.

Does 3local work for both mobile and desktop searches?

Yes. All pages are mobile-friendly and optimised for both standard and AI-assisted search engines. Each mobile page will have a click-to-call function enabled to allow direct lead collection.

Can I use it to grow a niche, like property accounting or contractor bookkeeping?

Absolutely. You can target specialised offerings like “accounting for landlords” or “bookkeeper for tradesmen in [location]” as part of your 3local service setup.

Is 3local only for tax season, or can I use it year-round?

It’s designed for year-round lead generation. Whether it’s end-of-year accounts, payroll management, or quarterly VAT, 3local keeps your business visible throughout the calendar.
