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.

Because guess what, they have heard of ChatGPT and other ‘magical’ content creation tools that fill them with confidence that they too can dish out content like a pro. Of course they can, with one caveat though—digital content, whether created using generative AI or by professional copywriters must serve a human audience for whom it proves undeniably valuable.

What Kind of Material Should I Read for Business Insights?

Reading is like the spinach of the writing world, except instead of bulging muscles, it gives you bulging vocabularies! The more you read, the more you absorb the written word and the better equipped you are to string together coherent sentences that engage, convert, and transform.

So don't skip your literary greens, folks. Your writing muscles will thank you!
Are you struggling to write compelling content for your business? Don't worry, you're not alone.

Content Marketing Best Practices that Garner Attention

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? It made popular the phrase, “If you build it, he will come”. Shoeless Joe and other baseball legends may have magically appeared on a cornfield-turned-baseball diamond. However, when it comes to content marketing, your audience will need more than a field of dreams to attract their attention. If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, don’t wait for your local SEO efforts to direct your audience. Give them a hand with these proven content strategies.

How to Use a Pillar Page to Improve your Content Quality

Consider the dictionary meaning of ‘pillar’ – “a firm, upright support for a superstructure”, also defined as “a fundamental precept”. Your content marketing campaign is your ‘superstructure’ that requires a ‘firm, upright support’. That’s the key function of content pillar pages. Without these essential supports, your ‘content superstructure’ will neither stand strong, nor will it attract the right attention.

Two Proven Ways to Organize Products with Similar Keywords

In business, cannibalization typically refers to a loss of sales. A company introduces a new product that displaces sales of an older, usually more outdated, product. Instead of having an increase in sales, the market growth remains stable. What does this mean in the world of SEO and content marketing? Keyword cannibalization occurs when two products have similar keywords or phrases and confuses the search engines about which page is right for which query. Instead of competing with other businesses for search traffic, you’re competing with your own web pages. Here’s why keyword cannibalization is bad for business and how you can overcome it.

How to Optimize your Content for a Global Audience

The global market is much smaller than it once was.  Statista reports over 5 billion internet users globally, or about 63.1% of the population. Reaching out to a broader market can help your business grow, but it’s not as simple as updating your website in a new language and simply hoping your audience finds you through search.

How to Build a Functional Content Marketing Funnel

Most people don’t wake up and think, “oh, today is the day I buy my new mattress,” unless they’ve researched different brands and checked pricing at different stores. Modern customers often take their time with major (and even minor) purchases. Using that information about today’s shoppers can help you design a content marketing map, or funnel, that guides the customer to your product.
