Lets start at the beginning, how does PPC advertising work for your insurance company?
It is a quick way to reach a relevant audience on major search engines like Google and Bing, and can be very cost-effective when implemented and managed correctly.
Google’s platform is called Google Adwords. Bing’s platform is called Bing Ads.
You only pay when someone clicks on your advert.
So by using the correct combination of keywords, ad messaging, and landing page, you’ll should only attract visitors who are interested in your product or service. They should hopefully be more motivated to convert.
Appearing organically on page 1 of search engines for your target keywords is difficult, especially for competitive industry sectors.
PPC advertising is a way to get onto page 1 24hrs a day (if you want) by setting up and advertising campaign on the search engines.
Each time your advert is clicked on, the search engines charge you a fee. This could be 0.20p or it could be £20.00 depending on how competitive the keyword you are sponsoring costs.
The insurance industry is possibly one of the most competitive industry sectors for business. As such, paid search is one of the most powerful marketing tools available.

As it is such a highly competitive industry, selecting the very best agency is essential. This can only be done on experience and their knowledge of the insurance sector.
