Tax consulting firms · Pay per click advertising

Check what your council allows before you spend a rupee on ads.

Paid search for a tax firm is a short, deadline-driven push, and whether your firm may run it at all is a question for your own professional body first. GullySales settles that in writing with your partner, then builds narrow campaigns for the notices and deadlines that actually convert.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

Sales and marketing for tax consulting firms, the overview.

Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For tax consulting firms

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Solicitation is the word this turns on”

    Rules on advertising by professionals differ by body and get revised, so your firm's position has to be recorded before any money moves.

  • “Refund status searches will eat the budget”

    Half the people typing income tax queries in July want to know where their refund has gone, and none of them are hiring anyone.

  • “The convertible fortnight is short”

    Enquiries cluster in the two weeks before a due date and in the days after a batch of notices goes out. The rest of the year is mostly waste.

What we do

What we deliver for tax consulting firms.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A written note of what your firm may run

    The position agreed with your partner and recorded, covering wording, claims and where adverts may appear, before a campaign is switched on.

    Result: Nobody is guessing about the rules mid-campaign.

  2. Campaigns kept to the situation and the city

    Narrow keyword sets on notice types, specific filings and the areas you serve, instead of broad terms every firm in the country bids on.

    Result: Clicks come from people with a problem and a date.

  3. Negatives for refunds, jobs and free filing

    Blocks on refund status, portal login trouble, articleship and job searches, coaching courses and the free filing tools crowding this category.

    Result: The budget stops answering students and refund chasers.

  4. A landing page that promises no outcome

    A page explaining what the firm does about that situation, with no comparative claims and no suggestion of a saving or a result.

    Result: The page your partner is willing to sign off.

  5. Calls tracked inside office hours

    A separate number per campaign, with the schedule set to when somebody answers and the calls that rang out counted.

    Result: You find out how many paid calls nobody took.

  6. Spend read against engagements signed

    Monthly cost per enquiry and per signed engagement by situation, set beside the figures from before the first campaign ran.

    Result: You can stop the campaigns that only bring questions.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches to bid on and block

The searches worth paying for as a tax consultant, and the ones to keep out.

Notice searches, such as GST notice reply or income tax notice help
Bid, narrowly, once your partner has agreed the wording. The person has a notice and a date. Describe what the firm does about it, and make no suggestion of a result or a saving.
Filing searches, such as ITR filing for NRI or GST return filing
Bid ahead of the filing deadline and switch off after it. These are lower-value jobs, so a page for each situation with the documents needed will help sort the serious from the casual.
Business setup searches, such as GST registration for a startup
Bid in a separate campaign. A founder searching for registration may become a client for years, so show that you handle the next filings too, in plain terms.
Do-it-yourself searches, such as ITR filing online free or tax calculator
Block. These people want a tool, not a consultant. Add refund status, portal error and form download words, which are people stuck on a portal, not buyers of advice.
Where the click lands
Send the click to a page for that situation with a plain explanation of what you do, the documents to bring and a form asking the type of notice or filing and the period it relates to.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a booked consultation with a filing type or notice date. A caller who wants a free answer is not an enquiry. Mark the ones that became a signed engagement, and see which situation they came from.

Who it is for

This is written for these tax consulting firms.

  • Individual and small business tax consultants
  • GST compliance and advisory firms
  • Corporate tax advisory firms
  • Chartered accountancy firms offering tax services
  • NRI taxation specialists
  • Startup and new business tax advisory firms

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can a chartered accountancy firm run Google Ads at all?
Your institute's code and its guidance on advertising decide that, and both get revised. The certificate of practice is yours, so the answer comes from your partner or from the institute, not from us. We build only what the firm has cleared in writing.
Is paid search worth it outside filing season?
Rarely. The enquiries that convert are tied to a due date or a notice, so the money works hardest in short bursts. A firm running adverts all year usually pays for reading rather than for calls.
Should the advert mention a notice deadline to create urgency?
State a date only if it is current and from the official notice, and keep the tone factual. An advert that frightens people for a click breeds complaints, and your professional body may take a dim view of it.
Is it safe to ask visitors to upload a tax notice on the landing page?
Treat anything uploaded as confidential. Ask for the notice type and date first, and request the document after a call, through a secure route. State on the page how you store it, and who sees it.
Do we need to advertise?
Not at first. A page that explains a GST notice reaches the owner who is searching for it today, with no media spend. Paid search helps for a short push, such as the fortnight before the July income tax deadline.
We are chartered accountants. Are we even allowed to market the firm?
Within limits. ICAI's Code of Ethics restricts how a CA in practice can advertise or solicit clients, and ICAI publishes guidelines on what a firm website may carry. We write explanatory pages inside those limits, with no claims of superiority, and your partner checks the copy before it goes live.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
