AI marketing for professional services firms
Professional services is fifteen practices selling judgment nobody can evaluate in advance, most of them under advertising rules the other industries on this site do not have. Flo writes the posts, the explanations, the referral emails and the review replies for whichever one you run, and holds every draft for approval.
In every one of these practices the buyer is choosing a person and pretending to compare firms, which makes published thinking the only thing that actually differentiates.
Six social networks, your site, your email platform, and a reply on every review.
Which practice do you run?
Fifteen practices sit under professional services and the rules differ sharply between them. A law firm cannot promise an outcome, a registered adviser can now use testimonials, and a consultant has no license at all. Pick the one you actually run.
Legal Practices
Advertising with real rules, where you cannot promise the one thing clients want.
Open →Accounting Practices
Identical credentials, and three months a year when the whole profession goes silent.
Open →Financial & Insurance Businesses
A marketing rule that became mandatory in 2022, and the testimonials it now permits.
Open →Consultants & Coaches
No license, no barrier to entry, and published thinking as the only credential.
Open →Bookkeeping Businesses
The routine half of the job automating, and the advisory half unmarketed.
Open →Tax Prep & Resolution Businesses
Twelve weeks of revenue and a resolution market full of promises nobody can keep.
Open →Payroll & HR Businesses
Perfect performance that is invisible and one error that becomes the relationship.
Open →Staffing & Recruiting Businesses
Two audiences, one budget, and supply as the binding constraint.
Open →IT Services & MSPs
Clients who are legally financial institutions and have no idea.
Open →Engineering & Surveying Firms
Work you personally seal, sold by firms with no marketer on staff.
Open →Architecture Practices
Portfolios that prove taste and say nothing about the two years in between.
Open →Interior Designers
A title anybody can use in about twenty states, so the work has to carry it.
Open →Business Brokers
A three year private decision followed by six weeks of action.
Open →Franchise Development Businesses
Fourteen days with a disclosure document, where most deals quietly die.
Open →Notary & Document Services
A business whose local monopoly was removed by remote notarization.
Open →Marketing by company size
The same professional services pages, entered by how big the business is.
You have questions. We have answers.
What comes up on the first call with a professional services firm.
Our work comes from referrals. Why publish anything?
Because referrals are a relationship, not a pipeline, and in most of these practices three or four relationships produce most of the revenue. Content is how a firm stops being one retirement away from a serious problem.
We are governed by advertising rules.
Several of these practices are, and the rules differ by profession and by state. Nothing here publishes without a person approving it, so your compliance step moves from the writing stage to the approval stage rather than disappearing.
Nobody here has time to write.
Which is the reason professional services is the least visible category on this site. Every one of these firms is staffed entirely with people whose time is billable, and removing the writing is what makes publishing survive contact with a real week.
Is this the same product the other industries get?
Same four apps, different rules loaded into them. A contractor is told to answer a complaint with specifics. A law firm is told the opposite, because in a regulated practice the specifics are the exposure.
