Home / Case studies / How Grofuse Elevated Tax Hacks’ Presence with Bespoke Website Development
Tax Hacks is a fast, low-fee PAYE tax rebate company based in Ireland. They are known for offering one of the country’s most affordable and expedited tax refund services. The company charges just an 8% fee (plus VAT) with a small €15 registration fee, making it highly attractive to PAYE taxpayers seeking to claim back overpaid tax. Tax Hacks’ business model focuses on simplicity and speed, aiming to maximise customers’ rebates (often averaging over €1,000) while keeping costs minimal.
Client Goals
Tax Hacks partnered with Grofuse with clear objectives in mind. They wanted to overhaul their website to achieve the following goals:
- Increase website conversions: Enhance the site’s ability to direct users toward the “Apply Now” action, converting more visitors into rebate applicants or leads.
- Improve clarity of messaging and user experience: Make what Tax Hacks offers (and its value proposition) immediately obvious and ensure the site is easy to navigate for all users.
- Add structured pages for core tax rebates: Introduce individual pages with relevant information for each key tax rebate type (e.g., Rent Tax Credit, Flat Rate Expenses, Medical Expenses, etc.) so users can learn about each service and find Tax Hacks through Google searches.
- Implement a fast, mobile-friendly design: Given that many users access the internet on smartphones, deliver a modern website that loads quickly and works flawlessly on mobile devices.
Build trust with potential clients: Incorporate a clear, step-by-step process description and display client testimonials and trust indicators (such as certifications and a “no refund, no fee” policy) to reassure users and establish credibility.
What We Did
To meet Tax Hacks’ goals, Grofuse designed and developed a comprehensive website solution, focusing on structure, content, and performance:
- New WordPress Website and Structure: We created a completely new WordPress website featuring a clean, conversion-driven homepage. The homepage now features a clear hierarchy of content and a strong top-section call-to-action (CTA) with an application form, immediately encouraging visitors to “Start Your Claim”.
- Dedicated Rebate Pages: Our team created well-structured internal pages for each of Tax Hacks’ core tax rebate offerings. This includes standalone pages for the Rent Tax Credit, Flat Rate Expenses, Medical Expenses, and other common rebates. Each page provides detailed information on that rebate type, including eligibility criteria and how Tax Hacks can assist, all presented in an easy-to-read format.
- Content Creation & SEO: Grofuse wrote all the website content from scratch, focusing on clarity and search engine optimisation. We developed a concise, persuasive copy that explains Tax Hacks’ services and benefits in plain language. Each rebate page and the FAQ section were filled with relevant keywords and common questions (e.g., “How to claim Rent Tax Credit?”) to improve Google rankings. We also included a step-by-step breakdown of Tax Hacks’ service process and a comprehensive FAQ section to address common queries. By structuring the content, potential customers can educate themselves and feel more confident to proceed with an application.
- Enhanced Form Functionality: A key improvement was redeveloping the rebate application form. We implemented a smart, multi-step form that captures all the necessary information outlined in the project brief, including fields such as First Name, Surname, Maiden Name (if applicable), Date of Birth, marital status, and mental status, among others. The form is user-friendly and broken into manageable sections, even allowing digital signature input for authorisation. This streamlines the sign-up process and ensures Tax Hacks collects complete and accurate client data in a single transaction.
- Responsive and Fast Design: We delivered a fully responsive design that looks and functions great on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. The new site is lightweight and fast-loading, which enhances the user experience and benefits SEO. On mobile, the navigation and form are optimised for touch, so users can easily complete their tax rebate application on a phone without frustration. Key buttons like “Apply Now” are always easy to find.
- Trust and Compliance Features: To build trust, we integrated prominent trust signals throughout the site. We displayed Tax Hacks’ credentials (such as their Irish Tax Agent registration number) and emphasised the “no refund, no fee” guarantee. The website now features a testimonials section that highlights positive client experiences.
On-Page SEO & Competitive Positioning: Every page was outfitted with proper on-page SEO elements – from meta titles and descriptions to header tags and image alt text – all aligned with the target keywords for tax rebates in Ireland. This thorough optimisation gives Tax Hacks a strong foundation to climb search rankings. The site is now well-positioned to compete with, and potentially outrank, larger competitors for searches like “tax back Ireland” or “claim rent tax credit,” bridging the gap with leading players like IrishTaxRebates.ie in the digital space.
The Result
After launching the new WordPress website, Tax Hacks experienced an immediate increase in user engagement with their brand. The clean structure, clear messaging, and mobile-optimised layout made it easier for visitors to understand the service and take action.
- Form completions increased due to the simplified application journey and prominent call-to-action (CTA) placement across all key pages.
- User engagement increased as visitors explored new standalone rebate pages, such as Rent Tax Credit and Flat Rate Expenses, each tailored for SEO and structured for clarity.
- Bounce rates dropped, reflecting improved trust and usability across desktop and mobile devices.
- Organic search visibility improved, with core tax rebate keywords driving more qualified traffic to the site.
The redesigned website now positions Tax Hacks as a serious competitor in Ireland’s tax rebate market, both visually, functionally, and strategically. The seamless user journey leads applicants from awareness to sign-up in seconds, while backend integrations ensure a smooth handover to the client’s team.
Most importantly, the client was thrilled with the results. They praised Grofuse for understanding the business and delivering a fast, intuitive, and professional website that reflects the quality of their service.
