Key Takeaways

  1. 1Be specific. 'Commercial property insurance for manufacturers' attracts more buyers than 'commercial insurance'.
  2. 2Showcasing industry-specific case studies builds trust and converts better than generic service lists.
  3. 3Add structured data that Google uses to understand your expertise. Most brokers miss this easy win.
  4. 4Your business clients compare options. Content like 'General Liability vs. Professional Liability' guides them closer to a decision.
  5. 5Be transparent about your process and value. Explain how you secure the best rates, not just the rates themselves.
  6. 6Links from industry associations like The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers signal authority more than general backlinks.
  7. 7Expect initial results in 4 to 6 months. Full growth in 9 to 15 months.
