A lot of accountancy website designs are built around a handful of generic pages, a homepage, a services list and a contact form, and not much else. That structure leaves trust gaps, missed search opportunities and visitors who leave without enquiring.
Below are the seven pages that actually do the work of converting visitors into clients, backed by data on why each one matters.
1. A Homepage That Builds Trust in Seconds
What It Needs
- A clear headline explaining who you help and what you do
- Visible trust signals (reviews, qualifications, years in business)
- A strong, obvious call to action
- Fast loading speed, ideally under two seconds
2. A Detailed Services Page (or Pages)
Why Specific Pages Outperform General Ones
Individual service pages give you more opportunities to rank for the specific terms people are actually searching, like “VAT return accountant” or “payroll services for small business”, rather than competing for one broad term with a single page.
3. An About Page That Does More Than List Qualifications
Trust is the deciding factor for most accountancy enquiries, and your About page is where a lot of that trust gets built or lost.
Consumers most trust Google, Google Maps and a business’s own website when researching who to work with, ahead of social platforms and review sites. That makes your About page one of the highest-value pages on your entire site, not an afterthought.

4. A Pricing or Fees Page
Many accountants avoid publishing pricing, worried it’ll put people off. The data suggests the opposite is usually true. When buyers were asked to prioritise what they want to see on a professional services website, pricing information consistently comes out near the top of the list, and transparent pricing is widely recognised as a trust signal that helps clients feel confident they’re making the right decision before they ever speak to you.
If exact pricing isn’t possible because every client’s needs differ, a clear pricing guide or starting-from figure still does most of the work.
Why This Matters More Now
5. Client Reviews and Testimonials Page
Reviews aren’t a nice-to-have, they’re close to essential. 97% of consumers read online reviews of a local business before visiting, and the average person reads around 10 reviews before deciding to trust a business. A dedicated reviews page, alongside reviews scattered across your other pages, reinforces trust at every stage of the visitor’s journey.
What to Include
- Full client reviews, not just star ratings
- A mix of recent and longer-standing reviews
- Reviews relevant to specific services, where possible
- A link to your Google Business Profile
6. A Resources or Blog Section
A blog isn’t just good for SEO, it’s increasingly important for visibility in AI search tools. AI-referred website sessions jumped 527% between January and May 2025, and tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews are increasingly the starting point for people looking for answers to specific tax and accounting questions.
Content structured around real questions performs particularly well. Page titles that closely align with the sub-questions people actually ask are one of the strongest predictors of whether a page gets cited in an AI response, which means blog content answering specific questions like “when is my self-assessment deadline” or “how do I register for VAT” has a real chance of being the source an AI assistant references.
7. A Clear, Low-Friction Contact Page
What a Good Contact Page Includes
- A short enquiry form, not a long one
- A clear phone number and email address, displayed prominently
- An option to book a consultation directly, if possible
- Accurate, consistent address and contact details
85% of consumers consider the presence of clear contact information an important factor when researching a local business, ranking it above price, proximity and even reviews. If your contact details are hard to find, inconsistent, or buried at the bottom of a long page, you’re likely losing enquiries you’d otherwise win.
Why Page Structure Matters for AI Search Too
It’s worth noting that having the right pages isn’t just about human visitors. Structured, well-organised content also helps AI platforms understand and recommend your firm. Content with proper schema markup has up to a 2.5 times higher chance of appearing in AI-generated answers, and implementing schema markup correctly can boost the chances of appearing in AI-generated summaries by over 36%. Clear, dedicated pages for services, pricing, reviews and FAQs give AI tools the structured information they need to cite your firm accurately.
