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