When considering an update, refresh or complete overhaul of your insurance agency website it is important that you work with a website developer who can provide all the critical components of an effective site. Many vendors are able to create an attractive site, but may not fully understand insurance agency SEO. Other vendors who possess the technical acumen for pristine coding may lack the skill set needed for effective insurance agency social media marketing. When you decide it is time to work on your site, make sure you have access to these five skill sets:
- Graphic Design, Look & Feel
- Coding and Technical Development
- Insurance Agency SEO
- Insurance Agency Social Media Marketing
- Video & YouTube Development
Many organizations provide one or two of these skill sets, but all five are required to develop an effective insurance agency website in 2012. Make sure you have access to all the tools your need to achieve the desired results of your website investment.

I’ve now published over 100 articles on Ezine and track metrics on a weekly basis. My overall goal is to create relevant content germane to our target markets including, B2B Marketing, marketing for technology firms, Law firm marketing and Insurance Agency Marketing. The key marketing metrics provided by Ezine include views, clicks and click through rate. These can vary dramatically, as a popular and well viewed article doesn’t necessarily generate the best Click Through Rate (CTR). In the example below, the #1 article received the most clicks (that makes sense) but the #3 article, though viewed significantly less had a much higher CTR and as a result, almost as many clicks.
- Should You Hire an Agency Producer Without a Producer Marketing Plan
- Traditional Magazines Vs Online Magazines – A Short Term Win and Long Term Rout
- Are the Days of Direct Mail Marketing Dead For Insurance Agencies?
- The 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss – Fact Or Fiction
- Insurance Agency SEO – Search Engine Optimization and Long Tail Keywords
Narrow or niche articles can often generate the best results. for example, my article entitled “Create A Virtual Buyer Persona – Spend Time With Prospects Who Can and Will Buy” had a very high CTR (16%) but ranked much lower on total views. In general, one can assume that a mix of topics, both broad and narrow, balance readership with CTR. Ongoing monitoring and measurement is always helpful with Social Media Marketing initiatives.
