  3. 3Showcase your real-world expertise in claims, regulations, and risk management. Google rewards E-E-A-T.
  4. 4Proactively answer the top questions prospects ask before hiring a broker. Build trust before they even call.
  5. 5Earn links from industry associations like IIABA or The Council. These are authority signals Google trusts.
  6. 6Be transparent about how you get paid. Explain commission vs. fees upfront to build client confidence.
  7. 7Expect meaningful traction in 3 to 6 months. Full results will compound over 9 to 15 months.

  • Analyze competitor SERPs (e.g., Marsh McLennan, Aon) for underserved niche combinations
  • Publish one dedicated service page per niche: policy + case study + risk mitigation angle
  • Wire each niche page into a cluster with 3+ internal links to related content and services
  • Refresh your niche strategy quarterly as market needs and regulations evolve
