The verdict in three sentences
For an accountant or consultant in Dakar, the site is not a decorative showcase but a B2B lead-generation tool: it costs between 350,000 and 700,000 FCFA and ships in 12 to 18 days. Credibility is built with trust elements (accreditations, team, quantified case studies) and an expertise blog that captures SME owners' searches. Online booking and white papers turn an anonymous visitor into a qualified lead, at a cost 3 to 5 times lower than field prospecting.
The trust elements that convert an SME owner
An owner picks their accountant on trust before price. Each element below reduces doubt and shortens the sales cycle.

Content strategy: capturing SME searches
The expertise blog answers the questions an owner types into Google. Each well-ranked article becomes a passive, durable lead source.

|---|---|---|---|
| Tax article | SME tax deadlines in Senegal 2026 | SEO traffic | 2 / month |
| Practical guide | How to choose your tax regime | Capture the lead | 1 / month |

Mini case study
Khady's firm in Dakar invests 600,000 FCFA in a site with a blog and online booking. In six months the blog generates about 40 qualified contacts, of which 8 become clients on engagements of 400,000 FCFA a year, i.e. 3,200,000 FCFA in recurring revenue. The acquisition cost drops to 15,000 FCFA per lead, versus 60,000 to 80,000 FCFA in field prospecting: the site pays for itself with the first signed client.
