## Challenge

Taxmates is a boutique accounting firm serving small business owners and self-employed contractors who often think about their accountant only once a year at tax time. Growth had relied on referrals, which capped pipeline volume and made forecasting difficult.

Earlier cold Facebook enquiries had arrived unqualified, with prospects seeking free advice rather than paid services and filling the calendar with low-value discovery calls. The goal was a lead engine that qualified prospects upfront and booked advisors only with business owners who had genuine tax complexity and revenue worth optimising.

02

## Approach

Built a multi-step GoHighLevel funnel anchored by a downloadable tax optimisation guide written for New Zealand contractors and small businesses. Captured email first, then routed prospects through pre-qualification questions on business structure, annual revenue, and current accountant status before unlocking the guide.

Delivered the guide instantly and followed up across seven days with automated email sequences featuring case studies and a consultation booking link wired to the advisor calendar. Targeted self-employed and small business audiences through Meta ads, with retargeting for funnel drop-offs.

Produced qualified leads at a $15. 23 cost per lead on a modest test budget.
