Book Call

Your reputation won't rank your accounting or CPA firm in Denver search by itself.

You can be the firm that every business owner in Denver recommends and still lose the next client to a competitor that ranks better in Google Maps and organic results. Word of mouth does not place you in the Map Pack – and every month you stay invisible, that competitor books the aerospace contractor, the medical practice, and the tech books you wanted. A business client is years of recurring fees. Lose that client and you're watching a decade of billings walk to the competitor.

While that gap sits open, thin 1040 shoppers can fill the calendar and leave less room for the energy operators, outdoor brands, and Front Range practices Denver firms want to staff. Local SEO for accounting firms, Google Maps SEO, a conversion-ready accounting firm website, and AI SEO when assistants name competitors are how that reputation shows up in search. SEOfor.Accountants does SEO for accounting and CPA firms nationwide – this page is about winning Denver.

Bring the towns you already serve and who ranks above you today. On the call we say which Map Packs are still open, what to fund first, and whether the website is blocking inquiries before SEO can pay off.

Case Study

Kane Tax & Accounting booked $25,250 in month two.

Kane Tax & Accounting was getting about 40 visitors a month before the engagement. Month one was the rebuild and the SEO foundation – a new website plus twelve city pages built for smaller markets the firm could actually win. Month two it launched. Some of those pages ranked in hours. Traffic climbed to close to 200 a month, calls started coming from towns the firm had never shown up in, and that is why month two booked $25,250 – with more already in the pipeline. The firm's own numbers. Not a composite.

The same sequence – win the smaller markets, let them fund the climb, then take the big one – is the regional-firm playbook in miniature. It's the same path we'd build for your firm across the Denver metro.

  1. 01

    Month 1: Website + SEO foundation

    A full rebuild, plus the groundwork – twelve city pages written for smaller markets, on-page SEO, the technical base. Nothing live yet. The foundation.

  2. 02

    Month 2: Launch

    The site went live and some city pages ranked in hours in the thinner markets. Traffic went from about 40 a month to close to 200, the phone started ringing, and every dollar below came in this month – $25,250 booked.

  3. Next

    Coeur d'Alene, ID

    The small markets fund the climb while the work builds the authority to rank in the market the firm actually wants.

Who this is for

Local SEO for accountants & CPA firms that already serve the Denver metro.

For established Denver accounting and CPA firms done filling the calendar with cheap 1040 work – and ready for the business clients search brings.

  1. 01

    Cheap work is crowding out the good files

    Price-shopper 1040s and race-to-the-bottom bookkeeping leave no room for the aerospace books, energy operators, and advisory work that actually pay for your time.

  2. 02

    You refuse to grow on the cheapest clients

    You already know what a bad fit costs – endless scope, unpaid questions, and a team burned out on work you never wanted. Search should send owners who pay for real advice.

  3. 03

    You're ready to hire, or nearly

    Your Denver, Aurora, or Lakewood team is already busy. The next person needs a book of work waiting – work worth staffing, not another pile of discount returns.

  4. 04

    You understand speed-to-lead

    Front Range prospects expect a fast reply. If SEO sends inquiries and nobody answers for a day, you paid for someone else's client. Automated follow-up and a clear sales process have to be ready.

  5. 05

    Your reputation already draws better clients

    Reviews and referrals already cover towns like Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, or Cherry Creek with the caliber you want. Search should send more of that same work.

Process

How our accountant SEO process gets your Denver firm more client bookings.

The order matters – money pages first, then the towns you can win, then Maps, then AI, then the regional climb. Each step funds the next.

  1. 01

    The website

    Homepage and service pages rewritten so an Aurora contractor or Lakewood controller knows what to do next – bookkeeping, payroll, quarterly estimates, specialty tax – with on-page SEO Google and AI tools can crawl cleanly. If the site cannot convert, rankings waste money.

  2. 02

    City pages

    Fresh pages for the towns you can still win in organic search – Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Arvada, Westminster, Centennial – each with real local detail. These pages can rank without a second office. Maps is a different rule.

  3. 03

    Google Maps

    Categories, services, description, NAP, and review velocity so Denver Map Pack searches stop defaulting to whoever posted last. Three slots. If you are not in them, you are not getting the call. Ranking Maps in Aurora, Lakewood, or Thornton needs a real office in that town – one downtown pin will not cover the whole metro.

  4. 04

    Show up when they ask AI

    Citeable pages, mentions, and the same listing signals so ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews have something real to name – before a competitor becomes the default answer across the Front Range.

  5. 05

    Become the regional firm

    Keep publishing Front Range city pages from your Denver office – Adams, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Douglas, and Denver County markets – so the whole region finds you in organic search. Smaller towns fund the climb. The Map Pack stays office-by-office.

How the first months run in Denver.

  1. 01Month 1

    Foundation

    We set up the base your firm needs before rankings can stick in Denver – Google Business Profile work, the website pages that bring in engagements, and clean local listings. If the site cannot convert or Google cannot crawl it cleanly, we say so before we scale city pages around Denver.

    • Google Business Profile categories, services, description, and review plan
    • Homepage, service pages, and city pages for Denver and the towns you serve – rebuilt to convert
    • Site structure, on-page SEO, and redirects if URLs are moving
    • Name, address, and phone cleaned up across directories – then the accounting listings that matter

  2. 02Month 2

    Launch

    The site goes live and the first wave of city pages publishes. Easier towns around Denver often move first – some pages rank within hours – and calls can start from markets you were not showing in before. We also start the local footprint work so assistants have something real to cite about your firm in this metro.

    • Site live and indexed – thinner markets around Denver first
    • City pages for Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, and Thornton – and the rest of your drive-time list
    • Directory listings and the first local backlinks
    • Listicles, mentions, and other sources AI tools already pull from

  3. 03Month 3 onward

    Authority

    Authority here means backlinks – links from other local websites around Denver and from niche sites in finance, accounting, and related fields. We keep building those while adding pages and expanding into harder Denver-area towns only after the easier ones are working.

    • Backlinks from local sites around Denver – directories, Chamber, sponsorships, nearby businesses
    • Backlinks from finance, accounting, and other niche sites that fit the firm
    • More city pages across Denver and nearby markets – as the data shows they help
    • Keep showing up in the AI answers clients actually read

“Tom has been a huge part of the growth of my CPA firm. His SEO work has helped us dominate local search in our area, and my phone is ringing almost every day with new leads. We've only been working together for about 3 months, and I'm blown away at how good it's been. What’s been especially impressive is that people aren’t just finding us through Google anymore. We’re now getting found through ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and other AI tools as well. Tom has done an incredible job making sure my business shows up wherever people are searching for a CPA or tax professional. Being a tax guy, this is usually a pretty slow time of year for new business, but the leads just keep coming. At this point, I’m a little scared for tax season because Tom might be too good at his job and my phone may never stop ringing. If you’re a business owner who wants to actually get found online and generate real leads from SEO, I can’t recommend Tom enough.”

“Tom is an absolute killer. It's hard to know if an SEO agency knows their stuff, and there's a lot of guys that say they know what they're doing and actually suck. Tom is the real deal. We are a $5 million outdoor living contractor that has been around for more than ten years and worked with a ton of different agencies. Tom knows his stuff.”

“We have been working with Tom & his team at Spokane Web Design & SEO Agency and have seen amazing changes regarding our SEO and the influx of calls for business. We now rank much higher locally as a painting company and do not have to worry about my Google Business Profile missing any components. Tom went through and gave us suggestion on improvements and implemented everything fast and in no time we saw results. We look forward to continuing to improve our rankings and would recommend this process for any business.”

“I've followed Tom for a while now, and his advice - plus putting it into action - has really boosted my landscaping and landscape design company's Google SEO rankings in the Columbus, Ohio area. As a local small business owner, I found his SEO expertise right on target. He shared tips on properly setting up my Google Business Profile (GBP) and optimizing it for local Columbus searches, using keywords related to landscaping services and design projects. His advice also helped guide me optimize my on-page SEO, which all also helped improve my organic Google rankings. Tom is a true local SEO expert who recommended simple fixes for local SEO and my GBP. Not long after, I started getting more customer inquiries, which has helped my landscaping business expand. I highly recommend him to any business seeking a reliable SEO company - there aren't many local SEO experts out there like Tom.”

The full metro

How Google Maps ranking splits across the Denver metro – and who calls when you rank.

The Denver metro isn't one search. Every town has its own Map Pack and its own clients – here's how they split, and who calls when you win them.

Your office in Aurora, Lakewood, or Highlands Ranch – or clients driving from Thornton, Arvada, or Greenwood Village – puts the corridors below where you win or lose the next engagement.

One downtown address and a “serving greater Denver” page will not cover Aurora, Lakewood, or Thornton Map Packs. Organic city pages can still win those towns. Maps in each town needs a real office there.

What each corridor sends you

Map Packs split along downtown and Cherry Creek, the east metro, the west suburbs, the north belt, and the south Tech Center / Douglas County corridor. Use this to choose which corridor to fund first.

  • Downtown Denver, LoDo, and Cherry Creek

    Professional services, hospitality, and finance-adjacent firms around LoDo, RiNo, and Cherry Creek. Map Pack here is contested. Rank downtown when your reviews and site can convert – and still publish suburban pages so Aurora and Lakewood owners searching their own town find you.

    Business clients searching bookkeeping, payroll, and S-corp are the engagements worth staffing. A thin “full-service CPA” homepage does not win those.

  • Fund-first: Cherry Creek, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village

    High-value households and south-metro operators who type Cherry Creek, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills, Park Hill, or Boulder before a generic Denver query. Fund this corridor when those searches already send the caliber you want – then push into denser downtown terms with authority behind you.

    Equity events, multi-state returns, and Tech Center business tax are the searches a walk-in shop will not win.

  • Aurora and the east metro

    Adams and Arapahoe small businesses, contractors, and households who search Aurora by name. Map Pack slots here often move before downtown. Fund this corridor and east-metro owners searching today find you before a quieter competitor with clearer pages takes the call.

    Aurora contractors and family businesses are the books and payroll work that fill a hire.

  • Lakewood, Arvada, and the west suburbs

    Jefferson County trades, shop owners, and suburban controllers who type Lakewood or Arvada before a generic Denver query. Rank here and west-side owners searching for bookkeeping, payroll, and business tax find you first.

    Pages that only say “tax preparation” miss the searches those owners actually run.

  • Thornton, Westminster, and the north belt

    North-metro contractors, logistics, and family businesses. Search is practical: bookkeeping, payroll, quarterly estimates. Publish real pages here and north-belt owners searching from a job site call you – the engagements that answer when you pick up.

    Thornton and Westminster each pull their own Map Pack searches – owners type their town, not a generic Denver query.

Book Call

Who Hires You

Who hires accountants on the Front Range – and the work each one sends.

The Denver metro sends two kinds of work worth ranking for: businesses that need real accounting, and individuals whose returns are anything but simple.

  • Aerospace and defense

    Front Range contractors tied to Lockheed Martin, Ball, United Launch Alliance, and the defense supply chain. Cost accounting, government-contract books, and multi-entity structures most seasonal shops will not take. Rank for "aerospace CPA Denver" and "defense contractor accountant Centennial" and you land engagements that bring monthly close and years of recurring fees.

  • Energy, oil and gas, and renewables

    Traditional energy services plus wind, solar, and related contractors across the metro. Job costing, entity structure, and sales and use tax are the work. Owners search from the field: "energy accountant Denver," "oil and gas CPA Lakewood." Rank and answer fast, and you get operators who need monthly books.

  • Healthcare and medical practices

    Independent clinics and dental groups from Cherry Creek to Highlands Ranch, plus providers tied to UCHealth and HealthONE. Practice managers search by town and specialty. The work is S-corp reasonable comp, provider payroll, and associate buy-ins when someone makes partner. Win "dental CPA Highlands Ranch" and "medical practice accountant Denver" and you get offices that already budget for real accounting.

  • Outdoor, tourism, and hospitality

    Outdoor brands, hotels, restaurants, and operators who live on Front Range visitors and lifestyle spend. The work is seasonal cash flow, tip reporting, and payroll that swings with the season. Map Pack visibility that holds through the shoulder seasons puts the seasonal operators and the year-round bookkeeping clients on your calendar.

  • Tech and SaaS

    Tech Center, RiNo, and Boulder-adjacent startups and SaaS shops that need more than a 1040. Equity comp, multi-state payroll for remote teams, and R&D credits are what these founders and controllers search for. Rank for "startup CPA Denver" and "SaaS accountant Boulder" and you land funded companies that bring monthly close.

  • Entity and tax structure niches

    Operators who need careful entity elections, multi-entity books, and specialized tax calendars – including cannabis businesses when that is already your niche. Inventory, 280E awareness, and state licensing calendars are the work. Rank for the structure searches those owners actually run and you get clients most walk-in shops will not take – and they stay once they trust you.

  • Construction, trades, and contractors

    Aurora, Thornton, Arvada, and the suburban belt. Job costing, WIP schedules, and sales and use tax are the work, plus bonding financials when they chase bigger contracts. These owners search from the truck: "bookkeeping for contractors Aurora," "construction accountant Thornton." Rank in the Map Pack and answer fast, and you get the builder who needs monthly books.

  • High-complexity individuals

    Business owners' personal returns, equity and RSU events across Cherry Creek and Highlands Ranch, multi-state filers, K-1 households – the returns with real complexity behind them. These people look for an accountant who handles more than a W-2, and they pay for it. Rank for them and the high-fee individual work comes back every April.

Services

Local SEO, Google Maps, websites, and AI SEO for Denver accountants.

On the Front Range, Local SEO and Google Maps usually move the calendar first – aerospace vendors, energy operators, and Aurora trades all start in search. Rebuild the website only when the current site kills the inquiry after someone finds you. Add AI SEO when ChatGPT already names a competitor. The four cards below are one system, ordered by what usually books Denver metro work fastest.

Local SEO

SEO for accounting firms and CPAs

Lakewood controllers and Aurora contractors rarely start with your referral list – they type what they need. Rank for searches like "CPA near me" from Cherry Creek, "small business accountant Aurora," and "tax preparation Thornton," and you catch the aerospace books, energy operators, and suburban practices before a downtown firm shows up. You get city pages for Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Arvada, and Westminster, review velocity that feeds Maps, and organic runs at terms competitors ignore while they fight one Denver keyword. That is usually the first move for firms that want business clients worth staffing.

Google Maps

Google Maps SEO for accountants

Map Pack on the Front Range is town-by-town, not metro-wide. An Aurora listing shows for Aurora. It will not show for Lakewood. You get the Google Business Profile cleaned up – categories and services matched to bookkeeping, payroll, and business tax – plus review velocity from real clients and town pages that back the pin. Organic pages can still reach drive-time markets from one Denver office. Maps in Thornton, Arvada, or Westminster needs a real office there. Three slots. If you are not in them, you are not getting the call.

Websites

Accounting firm websites

A rebuild is only on the table when the site is why Front Range inquiries die – slow load, thin pages, or a layout that loses a Highlands Ranch controller or Aurora contractor after Maps did its job. If the site can carry service pages and city pages cleanly, we keep it and fix what blocks the conversion. When we rebuild, it is built so Adams, Arapahoe, and Jefferson County search traffic can book – not a brochure that looks fine and converts nothing.

AI SEO

AI SEO for accountants

More Cherry Creek households and Boulder founders ask ChatGPT or Google's AI for a CPA before they open a map – especially for equity events, multi-state payroll, and aerospace or tech books along the Front Range. Those answers pull from clear service pages, consistent citations, and real reviews. Structure the footprint so when someone asks for an accountant in Denver or Highlands Ranch, your firm is in the set the model can name – before a south-metro competitor becomes the default.

Accounting company website examples:

A rebuild and homepage redesigns for accounting and tax firms – built to rank locally and turn the visit into a call. Click a site to see the full page.

  • Coeur d'Alene, ID

    Kane Tax & Accounting

    A full website rebuild for the CPA firm from the study. Direct offer, the towns it serves, and packages a prospect can act on – built to turn local search into booked work.

  • Reno, NV

    J.A. Solari & Partners

    A homepage redesign for a Reno CPA firm. Partner-led tax and advisory, Northern Nevada in the hero, and a clear path to start a conversation.

  • Anchorage, AK

    MCAC

    A homepage redesign for an Anchorage accounting firm. Alaska in the hero, decades in the state, and the work the firm does for businesses across the region.

  • Honolulu, HI

    Fukuya Hasegawa Partners

    A homepage redesign for a Honolulu CPA firm. Kamaaina roots, island service areas, and a direct path to book – so a prospect knows who will actually do the work.

Q&A

Denver accountant SEO questions, answered.

What Denver accounting and CPA firms usually ask before they book a call.

How fast do results come for a Denver accounting firm?

Kane Tax & Accounting shows the real pattern: month one was the website rebuild and SEO foundation – city pages for smaller markets, on-page work, the technical base. Month two the site launched. Some thinner-market pages ranked in hours. Traffic went from about 40 a month to close to 200, and that is the month that booked $25,250 – with more already in the pipeline. On the Front Range, towns like Aurora, Thornton, Arvada, and Westminster with thinner Map Packs can move on that kind of arc. Downtown Denver and the densest Cherry Creek terms take longer – especially when aerospace vendors and south-metro practices are already fighting those keywords. Anyone promising page one on the hardest Denver term in 30 days is selling theater.

How does the work actually run?

Same order every engagement: money pages that convert an Aurora contractor or Lakewood controller, then city pages for Front Range towns you can still win – Thornton, Arvada, Westminster, Centennial – then Google Maps so Denver Map Pack searches stop defaulting to whoever posted last, then AI visibility so ChatGPT has something real to name when someone asks for a CPA in Cherry Creek or an aerospace accountant in Centennial. Process on this page spells that out. Same sequence Kane ran.

Do you offer accountant SEO for firms in Denver, CO?

Yes. This page is for established CPA, accounting, and bookkeeping firms based in Denver or already serving the metro – Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Arvada, Westminster, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, and similar drive-time markets. If your clients already come from those towns, this is the footprint we build for.

What kinds of accounting clients does SEO usually bring on the Front Range?

When pages are aimed correctly: aerospace and defense contractors, energy and renewables operators, healthcare practices tied to UCHealth and HealthONE, outdoor and tourism brands, tech and SaaS companies, and operators who need careful entity and tax structure work. The pages target business services worth staffing – not race-to-the-bottom 1040 work.

Is downtown Denver too competitive for local SEO?

Parts of downtown and Cherry Creek are contested – LoDo professional services, Cherry Creek households, and Tech Center spillover all fight those terms. Most Front Range firms still win faster by ranking Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, and Arvada first, booking the work that funds the climb, then pushing into denser Denver and Cherry Creek keywords once reviews and authority support it. Cherry Creek, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Boulder, Cherry Hills, and Park Hill are often the fund-first markets when those searches already send better clients.

Can you help a Denver CPA firm show up in Google Maps?

Yes. Map Pack visibility in Denver depends on Google Business Profile strength, categories matched to bookkeeping and business tax, services, reviews, and consistent name/address/phone – usually paired with real service and city pages. An Aurora listing shows for Aurora. Ranking Maps in Lakewood, Thornton, or Westminster still needs a real office in that town – one downtown pin will not cover the whole metro.

Should our firm publish pages for Aurora, Lakewood, and Thornton too?

Usually yes, if clients already drive from those towns. A real Aurora page catches Adams and Arapahoe contractors and family businesses searching "accountant Aurora." Lakewood picks up Jefferson County controllers and shop owners. Thornton wins north-metro trades downtown firms miss. Organic city pages can rank those searches without a second office. Maps in each town still needs a local office.

How is this different from hiring a general Colorado SEO agency?

This practice only works with accounting and CPA firms. Service language, city-page structure, Maps categories, and client qualification are built for how Front Range practices sell – aerospace cost accounting, energy and renewables books, outdoor brand seasonality, entity and tax structure niches – not generic Colorado small-business kits.

Will SEO help us get more aerospace and energy clients?

That is the point of the targeting. Pages and Maps categories are written around the work Denver firms want to staff: aerospace and defense vendors along the Front Range, energy and renewables operators, UCHealth-area practices, outdoor brands, and tech shops who need more than a seasonal 1040 shop. Search examples we aim at include "aerospace CPA Denver," "energy accountant Lakewood," and "bookkeeping for contractors Aurora."

Do we need a new website to rank in Denver?

Only if the current site is slow, thin, or fails to convert an Aurora contractor or a Highlands Ranch controller after they find you in Maps. If it can carry service pages and Front Range city pages cleanly, we keep it and fix what blocks rankings. Rebuilds are separate projects when the site is why Denver inquiries stall.

Can bookkeeping firms in Aurora or Lakewood hire you?

Established bookkeeping firms in Aurora, Lakewood, or elsewhere in the Denver metro are a fit when the market and reviews support growth. The local SEO system is the same. Pages are tailored to bookkeeping, payroll, and controller-style services those towns actually search – not a generic CPA brochure.

Does AI search matter for accountants on the Front Range?

More Cherry Creek households and Boulder founders ask ChatGPT or see Google AI Overviews for a CPA before they open Maps. Those answers pull from clear service pages, consistent citations, and real reviews. If your firm is missing from that set when someone asks for an accountant in Denver or Highlands Ranch, a competitor becomes the default name – and you never get the call.

What should we bring to the strategy call?

Office locations, which Front Range towns you already serve – Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Boulder, or farther toward Colorado Springs – the services you want more of (especially aerospace books, energy operators, and practice work), and which competitors sit above you today for searches like "CPA Cherry Creek" or "small business accountant Aurora."

Is SEO month-to-month for Denver firms?

Ongoing local SEO runs month to month with 30 days’ notice. On the Front Range that matters – competitors in Aurora and Lakewood keep posting, Google keeps reshuffling Map Pack slots, and a downtown Denver climb needs maintenance after the suburbs start booking. No long-term lock-in.

How much does accountant SEO cost in the Denver metro?

It depends on how many Front Range towns you need to cover and whether the website needs work. SEO starts at $2k/mo and is built to return more than it costs – priced as an investment against Denver and drive-time engagements, not a line-item race to the cheapest retainer. Exact scope is discussed on the call.

Will this get us ranked for “accountant near me” in Denver?

That style of query is Map-heavy across Denver, Aurora, and Lakewood. Strong Google Business Profile work, review velocity, and supporting site pages are the path. Guarantees on exact near-me wording are a red flag anywhere on the Front Range – including anyone who promises the downtown Map Pack in 30 days.

Why do cheap SEO packages cost only a few hundred a month?

Cheap retainers stay cheap because the work stays thin. A few hundred a month often means a fast website bundle, light Google Business Profile tweaks, and AI-generated edits – not real Aurora, Lakewood, or Thornton city pages and Map Pack work. That leaves Denver and the Tech Center corridor uncovered while another firm keeps "CPA Cherry Creek." Push for a plain list of what gets built across the metro each month before you compare it to real local SEO.

Can a cheap SEO company still rank my accounting firm?

Usually not where it counts on the Front Range. A few-hundred-a-month plan seldom moves your Google Maps listing in Denver or organic pages for Aurora, Lakewood, or Thornton. You can get charts and minor page tweaks while another firm keeps the Map Pack for "aerospace CPA Denver" and the contractor searches out of Arvada. What matters here is booked work from local search – not activity for its own sake.

Why does the SEO company’s own site rank if my firm doesn’t?

National visibility for an SEO company is not local visibility for a CPA in Denver or a bookkeeping firm in Aurora. Different searches, different work. Hold them to whether Front Range clients appear for "CPA Lakewood," "accountant Highlands Ranch," and Map Pack results in Denver – not whether the agency ranks for SEO keywords.

Will I get stuck with an account manager who can’t explain my rankings?

Low-cost packages often put an account manager between you and the work. They can recite a report. They cannot explain why your Denver Map Pack stalled, why Aurora pages are not moving, or what changes next for Lakewood and Highlands Ranch. Here you get the owner, not an account manager – the strategist is on the call. You hear what moved on the Front Range, what didn’t, and what gets built next – without waiting on a relay.

Not a fit

  • Brand-new firms still collecting their first reviews – there's no reputation to rank yet.
  • Anyone shopping on price. SEO starts at $2k/mo and is built to return more than it costs – if you're focused on the cost instead of the return, we're not the fit.
  • Anyone who wants downtown Denver ranked in 30 days – the smaller markets rank first and fund the climb to the big one.
  • Firms that want to hand it off and never look again – this runs like a project, with you in the loop.
