About Stonehenge Accounting

    • Services: Small-Business Accounting & Tax Filings
    • Challenge: Reliance on referrals, limited marketing bandwidth
    • Goal: Build a consistent pipeline of qualified leads from local small businesses

    Stonehenge Accounting prides itself on personalized service, guiding small-business owners through complex tax laws and bookkeeping challenges. However, their growth was limited by sporadic referrals.

    They needed a sustainable method to reach potential clients who were actively searching for accounting and tax help online.

     

    The Challenge: Unreliable Referrals & Lack of Clear Metrics

    • Unpredictable Lead Flow: Waiting for referrals made revenue forecasting difficult.
    • Time Constraints: The owners wanted to focus on servicing clients, not fiddling with marketing platforms.
    • Transparency Needed: Many agencies offer “mystery pricing” with hidden fees. Stonehenge wanted a clear, understandable fee structure.

    At Flux Marketing, we believe professional services—especially accountants—deserve a partner who communicates openly, sets a clear budget, and shows exactly how marketing spend translates into ROI.

     

    Our Approach: Transparent, Consultative & Results-Oriented

    Branding & Local SEO Foundations

      • Brand Refresh
        • We refined Stonehenge’s visual branding to emphasize trust, professionalism, and approachability.
      • Google Business Profile Optimization
        • We updated service descriptions, added relevant categories (like “Tax Consultant” and “Small Business Accounting”), and encouraged satisfied clients to leave positive reviews.

        • Keyword Research
          • We targeted high-intent phrases like “accounting services for small business Toronto,” “bookkeeping for freelancers,” and “tax help near me.” This allowed Stonehenge Accounting to appear in front of local prospects who were ready to hire.

        • Transparent Pricing & Reporting

            • Rather than quoting vague or hidden fees, we established a simple monthly rate for ad management.

            • We implemented conversion tracking to measure exactly how many leads the ads generated. Stonehenge received monthly reports in plain English, detailing cost per lead and overall ROI.

          • A/B Testing & Ongoing Optimization
            • We continually refined ad copy, tested landing page headlines, and adjusted bids. This data-driven approach ensured every marketing dollar was spent effectively.

           

          Consultative Collaboration (Not Just Another Agency)

            • Regular Check-Ins
              • We met with Stonehenge’s leadership team to discuss metrics, new ad ideas, and questions—always in clear, jargon-free language.
            • Hands-Off for the Client
              • They could focus on running their practice and serving new clients while we took care of planning, execution, and measurement of their digital marketing.

             

            The Results: 5x ROI & Predictable Growth

            • Steady Stream of Qualified Leads
              • Within a month, Stonehenge Accounting saw a noticeable uptick in new client inquiries—from sole proprietors to small corporations.
            • 5x Return on Ad Spend
              • Every dollar invested in Google Ads returned 5 dollars in revenue, allowing Stonehenge to confidently reinvest in online marketing.
            • Less Stress, More Client Focus
              • By outsourcing digital marketing to Flux Marketing, Stonehenge freed up valuable time. They were able to onboard and serve their new clients without worrying about ad budgets or analytics dashboards.

             

            “Flux Marketing’s transparent pricing and easy reporting made the entire process stress-free. We finally have a predictable way to attract new clients, and the 5x ROI speaks for itself!”

            – Matt C., Owner at Stonehenge Accounting
