Every day, dozens of people search for an insurance brokerage on Google. If your website isn't in the top results, those customers end up with the competition. SEO for insurance brokers exists so it's you who shows up, right when they search — so clients compare cover and request a quote.
Nobody searches for a job title: they search for the problem — a letter from the tax office, whether an expense is deductible, how long an appeal takes. Those queries carry little volume and enormous intent, and the page that answers them plainly is the one that gets the call.
On those searches your competitor is not the firm down the road, it is the big national portals. You beat them on the two things they do not have: the local angle, and an answer written by somebody who actually does the work.
Expect the first movement on the long questions within three to four months, and nothing at all on the head term for a year. The honest early signal is impressions on questions nobody else answers, not positions.
Position is the wrong number to watch here. What tells you it is working is enquiries that arrive already knowing the answer to the first question, because they read it on the page before writing.
More and more people ask ChatGPT and AI assistants for a recommendation instead of scrolling Google. We structure your insurance brokerage's content so those tools understand what you do and put your name forward when someone asks.
