The problems this solves

Why most Accounting Firms are
invisible on AI search right now

AI engines decide who to recommend based on citation data, schema markup, and GBP completeness. Most accounting firms are missing at least two of these three signals.

🔍

Business owners cannot find your firm on AI search

When a business owner asks ChatGPT 'best CPA near me for small business taxes,' they get a short list. Accounting relationships are long-term, a client who finds you through AI and becomes a client could stay for 10 years. Missing from AI recommendations is extremely costly.

⚠️

Accounting firm directory data is often outdated or incomplete

CPA firm data across professional directories, AICPA, state CPA societies, local business directories, frequently has inconsistencies. AI engines cross-reference this data and inconsistencies between your firm name, address, and contact information reduce recommendation confidence.

📉

High-value clients, small business owners, high earners, use AI extensively

Small business owners and self-employed professionals are among the most active AI search users. 38% of business decision-makers have allocated budget for AI search visibility. This is your target market.

What we do

How Bizl gets your accounting firm
recommended by AI engines

Four signals determine whether AI engines recommend you. Our team fixes all four. Monthly report. No software to manage.

Foursquare and professional services directory listings optimized

We claim your Foursquare listing and ensure your firm appears consistently across accounting and professional services directories. Most accounting firms have unclaimed Foursquare listings despite it being ChatGPT's primary data source for local professional service recommendations.

120+ citations with perfect NAP consistency

Your name, address, and phone submitted to 120+ directories with exact consistency. Foursquare is first, it supplies roughly 70% of ChatGPT's local data. We also fix existing inconsistencies across all directories.

Schema markup installed on your website

JSON-LD schema tells AI engines exactly what type of accounting firm you are, what services you offer, and when you are open. We write, validate, and install it on your site. Pages with FAQ schema are 4x more likely to appear in Google AI Overviews.

GBP and schema optimized for service type and client profile searches

We write your GBP services to include every service you offer, tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, advisory, entity formation, and optimize your Q&As to address the specific questions business owners ask when choosing an accountant. AI engines use this to match you to relevant searches.
