SEO for Insurance Brokers
It’s imperative to be on the first page of Google and other search engine results in today's fast moving market. When was the last time you clicked to the second page?
At Tao Digital Marketing, we specialise in search marketing and have a lot of experience in helping insurance brokers to generate more sales leads. It’s our job to help you on the journey to generating more quality leads.
One way to do this is via Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
What does SEO for insurance companies include?
The core functions of SEO are as follows:
- Technical SEO
- SEO Content Creation
- Off-site Domain Authority (DA) building
Without all 3 of the above working in the most effective, optimised manner, your site won’t gain the valuable rankings it needs on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo or even Ecosia.
Our team is built up of specialists in each of the 3 areas above and as such, we can help build the SEO strategy and implement the work required to make sure you get the best results.
Members of our team have worked directly within a marketing team at an Insurance Broker and also have experience in other industry sectors that have grown and utilised digital marketing to gain sales and leads.
