No ads ran in August or September, so this month is all about Google search and the website. Your enquiries come straight to you, so we can't count them from our side: how many came in during September? Send me the number and it goes into next month's report.

Wins this month
"business advisory services", 900 searches a month. New this month, showing at position 1 from the week the website fixes went live. Shown 72 times, no clicks yet, so the page title and description shown in Google are the next thing to sharpen.
"accounting advisory service" at position 1 as well. Also new this month, shown 62 times.
Virtual CFO pages are back in Google. "virtual cfo perth" (32) and "cfo services perth" (39) were not showing at all from April to August.
The searches that matter most

- "accountant perth" (350 searches a month) is the big one, and Google only showed your site for it once in September, at position 71. It's a hard search to win: the firms on page one have far more websites linking to them. Getting other trusted websites to link to yours is the work that moves it.
- "business advisor perth" and "business advisory perth" slipped a few spots this month. Google is still showing an old advisory page address for them, which we're redirecting to the current page.
