FOR CANADIAN ACCOUNTING FIRMS
Help business owners find the right accounting expertise.
See whether your website clearly explains your accounting services, team, industries and service areas—and how your firm is described in AI answers within an agreed audit scope.
START WITH THE BUYER’S QUESTION
What might someone ask AI?
Illustrative questions, not measured search demand or actual recommendations.
02
Who offers bookkeeping and year-end accounting for incorporated businesses in Vancouver?
03
What should I ask an accountant before switching firms?
WHAT WE EXAMINE
The facts behind your visibility.
Service and client fit
We examine whether bookkeeping, tax, year-end and advisory services are clearly distinguished, including which clients and industries your firm serves.
Practitioner and firm identity
We review public team profiles, stated professional designations and their connection to the services offered. Qualifications are treated as claims to verify, not assumed endorsements.
Location and engagement clarity
We check whether service areas, remote options, contact details and onboarding steps are clear across the public sources in scope.
Observed AI answers
For agreed questions and platforms, we document mentions, citations, competing firms and inaccurate descriptions. Findings reflect those tests, not a universal ranking.
ILLUSTRATIVE FINDING · NOT A CLIENT RESULT
What useful evidence looks like.
This scenario explains our reporting style. It is not a completed audit or a promise of results.
01
Observation
A firm lists tax and bookkeeping services but does not explain whether it works with incorporated businesses.
02
Why it matters
A business owner may struggle to judge fit, and an AI answer may rely on a competitor with a clearer description.
03
Recommended next step
Clarify client types and service boundaries, have the firm approve the wording, then repeat the documented questions.
YOUR PAID AUDIT DELIVERABLES
A plan your team can use.
A documented baseline
A scoped assessment with scoring context, page evidence and clear notes on anything not tested.
Observed answer evidence
Agreed prompts, platforms, dates, cited sources and relevant competitor observations. API tests are labelled separately from consumer-app observations.
Priorities and handoff
Recommended actions ranked by impact and effort, with responsibilities and a proposed verification approach. Your existing agency can implement them.

BEFORE YOU START
Questions worth asking.
Will ChatGPT recommend our accounting firm?
No recommendation is guaranteed. We document observed answers and identify improvements to the public information about your firm. Third-party platforms control their results.
Do you need tax returns or financial records?
No client financial records are needed for a public website assessment. Do not submit tax returns, account numbers or client identifiers through the free check. Any additional access is scoped separately.
Can you work with our existing marketing agency?
Yes. Your team or agency can use the report’s evidence, priorities and recommended verification steps. Implementation and ongoing monitoring are separate engagements.
Does the audit validate our tax advice or professional compliance?
No. Your firm remains responsible for approving technical accounting content, professional claims and proposed changes. This assessment does not certify tax advice or compliance.
