Who this is for

Brokerages and insurance agencies we work with

  • High-street and community brokers

    Local clients want new cover or a renewal quote, and Google answers their broker searches with a map pack. Each branch gets a complete profile there, linked to pages for the lines it places.

  • Commercial and business brokers

    Firms weighing up a broker ask Google "which broker to use commercial business insurance" and "what does a business insurance broker do". One plain page on what you arrange for businesses answers both.

  • Specialist-line brokers

    If you place one kind of cover nationally, some clients search for brokers of that line by name, as in "where to find equine insurance brokers online". Each specialism needs its own detailed page.

  • Insurance companies selling direct

    Insurers selling online meet product searches such as "landlord insurance", where Ahrefs records an AI Overview. Those summaries tend to quote pages that answer in the first paragraph, so open each product page with its answer.

What we do

  • How searches differ from one line of cover to the next

    Every line you place is searched differently, which is why we build a page for each rather than one services page. Near a branch, "insurance brokers near me" draws about 1,500 UK searches a month, nearly six in ten from phones, with a map pack in the results (Ahrefs UK data, September 2026). Commercial clients add the kind of cover, as in "business insurance broker" or "commercial insurance broker", and see a map pack too. A product search can dwarf all of these: "landlord insurance" draws about 22,000 a month. Clients also look for renewal quotes, which deserve a page of their own.

Our insurance SEO services

  1. Branch profiles in the map pack

    Through our Local SEO work, each branch's Google Business Profile is set up for the "insurance brokers near me" and "business insurance broker" map packs, with categories matching the lines that branch places.

  2. A page for each policy line

    Landlord, business, commercial and specialist cover each get a page, grouped with supporting articles on that line, so each line builds authority of its own rather than sharing one product list.

  3. Guides for clients still deciding

    Before choosing, many people search "what is an insurance broker" or "is an insurance broker worth it". Your brokers supply the answers; each guide carries a named author and clears your compliance process first.

  4. Reviews that reassure

    Someone trusting you to protect their business or rental property wants word from clients you already cover. We set up a routine for genuine reviews and help word each reply.

  5. Site health for desks and phones

    Speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile use, schema, crawl errors, broken links, and orphaned or thin pages. Fewer than a quarter of "business insurance broker" searches come from phones (Ahrefs UK data, September 2026), so commercial pages must also work well on a desktop.

  6. Your brokerage in AI answers

    Through Generative Engine Optimisation we describe your lines, branches and brokers consistently across your website, Google profile and directories, and work towards mentions on review platforms and in trade press, sources ChatGPT and AI Overviews weigh.

  • Competing with comparison sites and national brands

    In finance, national comparison sites hold many of the top results, and our team has ranked websites against MoneySuperMarket, GoCompare and uSwitch; everyone on your account has 8+ years' experience. A brokerage need not beat them everywhere. The ground worth taking is where a broker's knowledge shows: the map pack around each branch, the firm asking which broker to use for commercial cover, and the specialist line searched by name. Insurance trade press coverage, through our Digital PR work, adds authority Google weighs and shapes how AI models understand your brokerage.

How it works

How an insurance broker SEO campaign runs

  • Step 1 of 4: Map every line and branch

    Weeks one and two: a site crawl, each branch profile compared with the brokers in its local map pack, keyword and prompt research per line and for renewals, and a ranked plan.

  • Step 2 of 4: Quick fixes on landlord and business pages

    From week three: the landlord or business cover page closest to page one pushed first, branch categories matched to the lines each places, and crawl faults on quote pages repaired.

  • Step 3 of 4: Build specialist and commercial pages

    Months two and three: a page per specialist and commercial line, a renewal page, a town page for each branch's patch, broker-signed guides cleared by compliance and a review routine.

  • Step 4 of 4: Report quotes by line and branch

    Monthly: quote requests by line and branch from GA4, Search Console rankings, your place in the "insurance brokers near me" and "business insurance broker" map packs, AI answers naming you, and the next plan.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

By putting a brokerage in front of people searching for a broker or a policy: the map pack near each branch, a page per line and guides for those still deciding. In time, that can mean relying less on paid leads and advertising.

It is the work that helps each branch get found by clients nearby, in Google's map pack and local results: a complete Google Business Profile per branch, steady reviews and a page for each area a branch serves.

Technical, profile and on-page fixes usually produce the first movement within four to eight weeks. Competitive searches often take six to twelve months; Ahrefs UK data scores "commercial insurance broker" 76 out of 100 for difficulty. No one can promise a ranking by a date.

No. AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini lean on what SEO builds: a clear description of your business, well-structured pages and mentions on trusted sites. "Commercial insurance broker" already shows an AI Overview, so we read each page as a language model would. Nobody can guarantee a mention.

Senior people and plain reporting. Ask who handles your account each week (ours all have 8+ years' experience), whether regulated copy reaches your compliance team before publishing, and whether results come line by line. Walk away from guaranteed rankings.

There is no set figure. Scope follows how many lines and branches you want found and how strong the competition is for each. We study your site and competitors first, then set out the work before you agree to anything.
