If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your website doesn’t bring in clients, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Strategic Bookkeeper Podcast, Jeannie Savage sat down with Glenn Senior, the founder and CEO of Bizink, to unpack what makes an accounting or bookkeeping website actually work.
Glenn and his team have helped hundreds of bookkeepers and accountants around the world create websites that don’t just look good but convert. Their philosophy is simple: your website should be your hardest-working employee — attracting, educating, and converting visitors while you sleep.
Why Most Bookkeeping Websites Fail
Glenn began by pointing out a truth that many bookkeepers would rather not face. Most websites fail because they’re designed for the wrong audience. Too often, bookkeepers write for other bookkeepers instead of small business owners.
A good website, Glenn explained, doesn’t just talk about what you do — it shows visitors why they should care. Clients aren’t searching for “reconciliations” or “BAS lodgements.” They’re looking for peace of mind, more profit, and less stress.
Jeannie agreed completely. “Bookkeepers sell peace of mind, not compliance,” she said. “Your website should tell that story from the very first line.”Glenn’s advice was to start by writing with empathy. Use the client’s language, not industry jargon. Show that you understand their pain points and have solutions. When your messaging connects emotionally, everything else becomes easier.
The Power of Clarity and Consistency
Glenn shared that the most effective bookkeeping websites have three core qualities: clarity, consistency, and conversion focus.
First, clarity. Visitors should understand exactly what you offer and who you help within seconds. This means clear headlines, concise service descriptions, and a simple navigation menu.
Second, consistency. Your website should align with your brand — colours, fonts, and tone. Consistency builds trust. A professional, cohesive site signals that you’re organised and reliable, two traits clients value deeply.
Finally, conversion focus. Every page needs a purpose, whether that’s booking a discovery call, downloading a guide, or joining your email list. A clear call-to-action (CTA) guides visitors toward the next step.
As Glenn put it, “A website without a clear CTA is like a shop with no checkout counter.”
Jeannie emphasised that bookkeepers don’t need fancy design skills to get this right. “It’s not about being flashy,” she said. “It’s about being functional. Your website should serve your goals, not your ego.”
How Bizink Makes It Easy
For years, bookkeepers have struggled to find web developers who understand their industry. That’s where Bizink comes in. The company builds custom websites exclusively for accountants and bookkeepers, complete with content that speaks to small-business owners.
Glenn explained that Bizink’s platform includes pre-written pages for bookkeeping services, about sections, and even lead magnets such as eBooks and calculators. These can be tailored to your brand quickly, which saves time and money.
Jeannie highlighted how useful this is for bookkeepers who are great with numbers but less confident with marketing. “Most bookkeepers don’t have time to write web copy or build funnels,” she said. “Bizink gives them a done-for-you solution that works straight out of the box.”
The service also includes hosting, maintenance, and ongoing updates. Glenn’s team ensures your site stays compliant with privacy laws and mobile-friendly — two things that are easy to overlook but vital for conversion.
Building Credibility Through Content
Another major topic in the conversation was content marketing. Glenn believes that trust is built through education. When you share valuable insights, visitors see you as an expert before they ever speak to you.Bizink websites include built-in blogs and email tools that make content publishing simple. Bookkeepers can schedule articles, newsletters, or client updates directly from their dashboard. Glenn’s team even provides ready-to-use blog templates written for the bookkeeping industry.
Jeannie stressed that this kind of automation is key to running a sustainable practice. “If you want to attract better clients, you need to show up consistently,” she said. “But you don’t have to spend hours doing it yourself. Systems like Bizink let you automate marketing without losing authenticity.”
She also mentioned that strategic content is a perfect fit with her Bookkeeping Practice Blueprint, particularly the focus on Assets — one of her five big keys. “Your website is an asset. Every post, every email, every downloadable resource builds equity in your business,” she said.
A Modern Website for a Modern Bookkeeper
One of the strongest points Glenn made was about the future of the industry. Bookkeepers are no longer just compliance partners. They’re becoming strategic advisors — and their websites should reflect that.Clients today expect transparency, online booking, and digital convenience. If your site still looks like it was built in 2012, you’re signalling that your practice might also be outdated.
Glenn explained how Bizink sites integrate seamlessly with modern tools like Intuit QuickBooks, Xero, and Dubsado, allowing clients to book meetings, complete forms, and even sign proposals online. This creates a professional, streamlined experience from start to finish.
Jeannie agreed, noting that small upgrades in presentation can make a big difference in pricing power. “When your brand looks polished, you can confidently charge premium rates,” she said. “Your website is often your first impression — make it count.”
Key Takeaways for Bookkeepers
Jeannie wrapped up her conversation with Glenn by summarising the key lessons for bookkeepers who want to improve their online presence:
Clarity beats cleverness. Say what you do and who you help in plain English.
Design for your clients, not your peers. Focus on outcomes, not industry terms.
Every page needs a purpose. Always include a call-to-action.
Consistency builds trust. Align your website with your brand identity.
Invest in systems. Use platforms like Bizink that understand your world.
A modern website isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s an essential tool for attracting quality clients and showcasing your expertise.
Jeannie’s conversation with Glenn Senior was a reminder that the best marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right structure and message, your website can become your most powerful growth engine.
Bizink continues to lead the way in providing bookkeepers with tools and templates that combine strategy, automation, and professionalism. For bookkeepers ready to evolve from “booked but broken” to thriving and strategic, investing in a website that truly works is one of the smartest moves you can make.
With love and strategy,
Jeannie Savage
