What we do for insurance brokers
Google Ads for insurance brokers
Personal lines terms on Google Ads are some of the most expensive clicks in any sector. We do not target them. Instead, we focus your budget on commercial insurance, professional indemnity, tradesman insurance, landlord cover, fleet insurance, and other policy types where an independent broker genuinely adds value and where comparison sites either cannot compete or give inadequate advice. Every campaign is built around the enquiries you actually want, not the volume.
Local SEO
Most insurance brokers rank for their own name and not much else. We build visibility for the searches your prospective clients are making: terms like "commercial insurance broker [town]", "business insurance advice [area]", "landlord insurance broker near me". These are slower to build than paid ads but they pay off consistently and do not cost you per click. We carry out keyword research specific to the brokerage market, build and optimise your service pages, and create content that earns rankings in your area.
Google Business Profile management
Your GBP listing is often the first thing a local business owner sees when they search for a broker. We fully optimise your profile with accurate service descriptions, regular posts, updated Q&A, and consistent monitoring. A well-managed profile also significantly improves your visibility in Google Maps, which is where a meaningful share of local searches now land.
Review generation
Switching insurer or choosing a new broker is a decision most people make cautiously. A brokerage with 60 genuine, recent reviews from local businesses and landlords looks fundamentally different from one with eight reviews from five years ago. We put a system in place that makes it easy for satisfied clients to leave reviews consistently, building a profile that does trust work before anyone speaks to you.
Website development
A professional, fast website that clearly communicates what types of client you work best with, what policy areas you cover, and why an independent broker is worth speaking to before going straight to a price comparison site. Built on WordPress, owned entirely by you.

Why digital marketing matters for independent insurance brokers
The comparison site model has been reshaping how people buy insurance for over twenty years. For personal lines, particularly motor and home, the aggregators have largely won. Price is the primary decision factor and the infrastructure those platforms have built is not something a local broker can compete with head-on.
But personal lines is not where an independent broker's value lies anyway.
Where brokers genuinely outcompete comparison sites is in complexity. A sole trader needing public liability, professional indemnity, and employers' liability is not well-served by a price comparison page. A landlord with a portfolio of HMO properties, some on non-standard construction, has needs that no automated quote engine handles well. A contractor working across multiple sites under different principal contractors needs advice, not a dropdown menu. These are the clients who will stay with a broker for ten or fifteen years, add policies as their business grows, and refer their peers.
The problem is that those clients are searching online first. When a business owner types "professional indemnity insurance broker [town]" or "fleet insurance advice [area]", they expect to find a local firm they can speak to. If your brokerage does not appear in those results, they find a national broker, a direct insurer, or they go back to a comparison site and buy something that probably does not fit their situation properly.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, but it requires tight targeting. We exclude the personal lines terms (car insurance, home insurance) where costs per click are extreme and where you cannot compete on price anyway. We focus the budget on commercial, professional, and specialist terms where click costs are lower, conversion rates are higher, and the enquiries are the right fit for a broker.
Only if you specifically want to and have a clear strategy for converting those enquiries profitably. For most independent brokers, the return on personal lines paid search is poor because you are competing with aggregators on price. We will always advise you honestly on where your budget is best placed rather than simply spending it.
We do not try to beat them at their own game. We focus on the search terms and audiences where a broker adds demonstrable value: commercial clients, landlords, contractors, and professional services businesses who need advice rather than a price comparison. Your marketing positions you as the expert, not the cheapest option.
We are a digital marketing agency, not a compliance consultancy, and you remain responsible for ensuring your marketing meets FCA financial promotions requirements. What we do is write copy that sells your brokerage's expertise honestly and clearly, without making claims that would create compliance issues. We flag anything that looks borderline and defer to your compliance sign-off before anything goes live.
That depends on where you currently write the most business and where you want to grow. We will ask you at the outset which client types you work best with, which policy areas you are well-connected in, and what size or type of commercial client fits your book. The targeting follows from that conversation, not the other way around.
Google Ads can start generating enquiries within the first week once the campaign is live, though the first month is typically used to gather data and refine targeting and bidding. You should expect meaningful, consistent enquiries by month two.
For competitive commercial insurance terms, you are typically looking at four to six months before organic rankings start generating noticeable enquiry volume. For less competitive local terms, it can be faster. We will not oversell the timeline, but we will show you progress as it builds.
No. We work with one brokerage per geographic area. If a competing broker in your town approaches us whilst we are working with you, we decline.
Monthly reporting focused on enquiry volume: calls tracked to our campaigns, contact form submissions, and Google Business Profile actions. We do not pad reports with traffic graphs and session duration. You see what your spend generated in terms of actual contact from potential clients.
Not necessarily. If your current site is reasonably fast, mobile-friendly, and has the content structure to support the campaigns we run, we can work with it. If it is slow, difficult to navigate on mobile, or lacks the service pages needed for SEO, we will tell you that honestly and give you an assessment of whether a rebuild is worth the investment.
Yes, and arguably the return is more visible for a smaller brokerage because a handful of new commercial clients makes a measurable difference to the book. The campaigns are sized to your budget, not to a minimum spend that only makes sense for firms with large marketing departments.
No. We work on a rolling monthly basis. You are not locked in and there is no penalty for stopping. We would rather earn your business month to month by generating enquiries than hold you to a contract.
