Trade and local sites
Bookkeeping sites should say monthly close, software, and who does payroll, not "CPA alternative."
A bookkeeper is not an accountant with the letters scraped off. The useful website says which books you keep, which software you live in, whether you do payroll, when the monthly close actually lands, and what you will not clean up (three years of shoeboxes, crypto, inventory you do not understand). Bizzit is not QuickBooks and not a bank feed. Free on you.bizzit.io after Google sign-in, 50 Cipher turns. Pro $12 a month for a custom domain, unlimited Cipher, overnight jobs, checkout on your payment account for a cleanup project if you take one, no badge. If Cipher writes tax-resolution copy, rebuild, that is the accountant guide. We do not invent time-saved statistics.
A discovery call that already knows software, monthly vs weekly, payroll yes/no, and cleanup appetite.
What a bookkeeper site is actually for
You sell a recurring close and optionally cleanup projects, in a named stack, with a cutoff for messy books.
A discovery call that already knows software, monthly vs weekly, payroll yes/no, and cleanup appetite. If the homepage cannot do that in one screen, it is a poster. Rebuild from the nouns in the brief below, not from a prettier layout.
Pages that earn their keep
Home. Software, close date, payroll or not, three facts. If this screen cannot settle "is this my bookkeeper?", delete it.
Monthly work. What "done" means. What they still have to do (receipts). Keep only the jobs you still take. Cipher will invent a menu you do not run.
Cleanup. How far back you will go. A from-price if you use one. Write the rule a stranger would ask on the phone.
Not a fit. Industries you refuse. DIY they must keep doing. Proof belongs here: a photo of your room, van, or work, not a stock set.
How we start. Access you need. You are not a bank. The site should not collect routing numbers. Hours and a number that rings beat a second slogan.
Skip a blog, a city-per-URL map, and a week-view that does not hold a real slot. This bookkeeper site needs A discovery call that already knows software, monthly vs weekly, payroll yes/no, and cleanup appetite., not a second product Cipher invented.
Write the brief like an operator, not a slogan
Books in QuickBooks Online, monthly close by the 15th if they send receipts by the 5th. No payroll (they keep Gusto). No inventory manufacturing, no crypto, no 3-year cleanups this year. Discovery call 30 minutes. I am not a CPA and I do not file. Video default. I do not take bank credentials through a website form. Closed the last week of December.
Paste that into brief builder or Create. If the preview is the wrong trade, the nouns were wrong. Fifty free Cipher turns exist so you can name this offer before you pay for a domain.
Photos Cipher cannot honestly invent
A clean desk without screens of client QBO. No stock pie charts. No CPA-office marble you do not have.
Hero and product (or service) shots are different jobs. Upload what you have. If you have nothing, say so in the brief rather than letting Cipher guess a restaurant table for a shop that is not a restaurant.
Hours, NAP, and the action you want
You may not have a lobby. Publish when you take calls and when close week is radio silent if that is true. Do not mark 24/7 because bank feeds run at night. Schema can be weekdays plus "close week delayed replies."
Format the name, address, and phone once with the NAP formatter. Hours that search engines can read belong in JSON-LD as well as on the page, use hours schema and keep them identical to the door. Google's local-business structured data is on Search Central.
Local search without spam city pages
If you have an office, NAP it. If you are remote, service types on one page, not "bookkeeper in {city}" clones. Match GBP to reality. Hours are reply hours.
Mistakes that make the URL useless
Implying you file taxes if you do not. On this trade that is how you lose the first honest visitor.
A website form that asks for bank logins. Cut it before you publish. Cipher will put it back if the brief is adjectives.
Cleanup of any industry under the sun. If the preview already has it, rebuild from nouns, do not decorate it.
City doorway pages. That pattern belongs to a different business. Do not keep it on this URL.
What not to buy this as
We are not the ledger, not a bank-feed product, not a payroll tax engine. Keep QBO. Never put bank credentials in a Bizzit form. Pro checkout is your processor for a cleanup invoice if you want. We do not take a cut. We will not fake reviews.
Bizzit hosts the public rulebook: hours, offer, the action. $12 is not a replacement SKU we have not shipped. Keep the software you already pay for if that is the stack you need.
Close date is the product
If receipts late means close late, say so. Cipher will promise real-time dashboards you do not run. Rebuild. Clients who want CFO theater should not find you by accident.
Payroll is a yes/no, not a vibe
If they keep Gusto, the site should not sell "full payroll." Wrong copy is how you inherit tax notices. We will not be the payroll product either.
Cleanup from-prices without bait
If you quote after a sample month, say that. A fake $99 cleanup is how you get angry reviews. We will not generate stars. A from-price you honor is allowed.
How to ship a bookkeeper site this week
- Write the brief with towns, hours, prices you will honor, and the action. A discovery call that already knows software, monthly vs weekly, payroll yes/no, and cleanup appetite.
- Upload photos that match this trade: A clean desk without screens of client QBO. No stock pie charts. No CPA-office marble you do not have.
- Sign in with Google. Preview on wide, mid, and phone. If it is the wrong trade, rebuild.
- Publish free on you.bizzit.io. Send the slug to one person who will tell you the truth.
- Then consider Pro at $12 and a domain.
Bookkeeper SEO is infested with "we are cheaper than a CPA" which is a different job. Your 50 turns exist to name the 15th and the software. Overnight jobs will not categorize. $12 is the domain on the proposal.
Tools that actually do this job
These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.
Questions people actually ask
Will Bizzit connect to my clients' banks?
No. No bank feeds, no ledger, no Drive. Keep QBO or whatever you use. The public site is software, close cadence, and who you refuse.
Can I invoice a cleanup on the site?
On Pro, checkout is your payment account. We do not take a cut. Better for many bookkeepers: a proposal, then pay in the tool you already invoice from.
Is this the same as the accountant website?
No. Accountants file and advise. Bookkeepers close books. Do not mash the briefs. We have both guides on purpose.
City pages for every client ZIP?
No. One site. Doorways are spam.
