Does it integrate with TaxDome / Canopy / SmartVault / Karbon?+
Yes — DesignSnipe is your marketing + intake site. It links out to your existing practice-management portal. We're not trying to replace Karbon / TaxDome / Canopy (their workflow, client-portal, and e-signature features are what you're paying them for). The website lives in front; the secure portal lives behind.
Can I collect sensitive documents through the site?+
Not directly — and you shouldn't want to. Tax docs (W-2s, 1099s, bank statements) need a secure portal with encryption-at-rest and audit logs, which is what TaxDome / Canopy / SmartVault / Citrix ShareFile already provide. We link to your existing portal, never collect tax docs through a generic web form.
What about state-board advertising rules?+
The AI-drafted copy avoids the language patterns most state boards flag (no ‘guaranteed refund,’ no ‘best CPA in town’ superlatives without substantiation, proper disclosure on results testimonials). Review the final copy against your specific state board guidance before publishing.
Can I show pricing without locking in a quote?+
Yes. The service tier primitive supports ‘starting at $X’ for engagements where complexity varies (1040 + state, S-Corp + payroll, bookkeeping + tax). Pre-qualifies budget without committing to a flat fee. Some firms use ranges ($400–$1,200 / 1040) — also supported.
Do I need a separate blog for tax-season SEO?+
The Professional plan ($100, 7 pages + free SEO blog) includes an AI-written blog scaffolded for tax-season topics (Q1 tax-prep checklist, S-Corp election deadlines, quarterly estimated payments, RMD changes, etc.). Updated annually. Ranks for the seasonal ‘tax tips’ queries that drive new-client traffic in January–April.
