Content Marketing Ideas for Insurance Agencies

Most people will not think about insurance as the most exciting topic when it comes to content, but Progressive made insurance more personal with their mascot, Flo. Geico brought in a gecko as an unconventional way to discuss insurance with customers. Liberty Mutual introduced LiMu Emu and Doug to spread the word that you can get customized coverage. These insurance businesses found a way to create interest and a narrative around insurance that makes people pay attention. Your insurance agency can take your content strategy up a notch through these tested and proven techniques that serve your customers.

Insurance Content Best Practices Establish Your Online Presence

Content isn’t always about sales. Of course, you want your content to generate income, but customers who find your content aren’t always looking to make a transaction. You build a relationship with a customer when you provide information that is relevant and engaging. Act like you want to genuinely help your customer. Customers will trust that you want to help them.  

Tell a Compelling Story 

In creating content, use a narrative that tells the story of your brand. Progressive began telling Flo’s narrative in 2008 and it’s still going strong 13 years later. Storytelling shares your brand in a pleasant manner while adding a human element. You don’t need a mascot to tell your brand’s story. Start with a character who has a conflict. Show how insurance solves their problem. Let your SEO writer incorporate techniques and best practices once you’ve decided on a narrative. 

Create Content Valuable to Your Audience

Insurance content doesn’t have to always be about insurance. Your copywriter can use current events to discuss what is relevant in the insurance industry. Seasonal information that correlates to insurance can help your audience plan ahead: to be safe on the road with their motorcycle in the spring, get ready for back to school, or winterize their home. Use local events to relate back to insurance, because a good copywriter always keeps the goals of SEO and organic reach in mind.

Always Use a Call to Action (CTA)

The most effective content persuades your reader to take action after consuming it. Think about why your reader should take action after reading your content. Then, think about what the visitor gets in exchange when they do take action. An individual who wants information about “how to keep bugs off their car,” cares about their car but may not be ready to purchase insurance. Your CTA might be “sign up for our newsletter for more car owner tips”. On the other hand, someone who is reading content about insurance rates is probably shopping for insurance, so your CTA might be “call for a free quote.” Match your CTA to your content.

Optimize Your Insurance Content Marketing Success

Insurance companies need to have a relevant content strategy to provide solutions that will help them gain trust from their readers. High-quality content from a content agency lets you focus on your customers while our writers focus on your insurance writing needs.

But Play by the Rules and with a Clear Conscience

My last blog post was the first time I ever wrote about a deeply personal experience. It certainly was heartwarming and overwhelming to receive so many kind and encouraging messages from family, friends, co-workers, clients, and even some past students and interns. Thank you! Some business associates and clients also responded with feedback on my comments about the “AI-generated content elephant in the room”. Healthy discussions ensued and I want to clarify that I am not against AI-generated content. If your small or medium-sized business has time and budgetary limitations, and you cannot hire a content agency, professional copywriters, and SEO content writers, then AI tools may be the way to go. I’ve summarized the key questions clients are asking about this.

Include Your POV to Encourage Conversion

Imagine how differently we'd see Star Wars if it was told through the eyes of a stormtrooper trying to get his next promotion or through Chewbacca's point of view. The reader of a story interprets the tale through the perspective of the narrator. Choosing an engaging and valuable point of view (POV) is essential to the narrative. You may not think of your content as a novel or a movie, but you're still telling a story through your blogs, email newsletters, videos, and other forms of digital content. Offering a unique POV with your online content can help make your brand stand out.
