Agent Directory Helps Agents Get Found on the Web

Sean Boyle
AgentInsider Sales Manager

Do you like “window shopping” on the web? Before I purchase a big ticket item, I use the Internet to compare products and prices and then find the store that has what I’m looking for that’s closest to me. My online shopping technique is very similar to that of online insurance consumers. Which leads me to a question: do you have an online presence?

If you don’t think you have a strong online presence, we can help. Agent Directory, our online insurance directory, can help you get found by local consumers searching for auto insurance.

Get an Exclusive Listing in Agent Directory

Agent Directory is limited to only one agent per carrier affiliation to sign up in a ZIP Code. Once you’ve locked in your ZIP Codes, no agent from your same carrier will be permitted to select those ZIP Codes. You can choose any or all ZIP Codes within 25 miles of your office.

What makes Agent Directory searches more beneficial than other online directories is that instead of a consumer getting inundated with hundreds or thousands of results, Agent Directory will only display up to 8 local auto insurance agents for any given ZIP Code.

I did a search at YellowPages.com™ for “car insurance agent” in the 95814 ZIP Code (Sacramento, CA area) and saw 164 results, over 20 times the number of agents displayed in our Agent Directory. I then did a Google™ search for “car insurance agents in 95814” and received 133,000 results. That’s an astonishing 16,625 times as many results compared to Agent Directory!

Know How Many People View Your Agent Directory Listing

Unlike other listings on online directories and search engines where it can be difficult to determine how well you are ranking and how often consumers are able to find your information, you’ll have easy access to that information with Agent Directory. You can login to your AgentInsider® account at any time to see how many people have viewed your listing by ZIP Code.

Though extensive marketing efforts across multiple channels by InsWeb.com, there were over 2,264,000 Agent Directory page views from January to May of this year; that’s over 450,000 a month!

What a Consumer Will See on Your Listing

When a consumer views your Agent Directory listing, they will be provided with your office number, email address, and a link to your website. Check it out for yourself by visiting us at www.agentinsider.com/agent_directory/ad_advantages.html and enter a ZIP Code in your area. Remember that the Agent Directory is limited to 8 local agents per ZIP Code and only one agent per carrier affiliation will be allowed to sign up in each ZIP Code. Sign up now to become the EXCLUSIVE AGENT shown for your carrier!

Establish yourself online with an Agent Directory listing and let us help motivated insurance consumers find you. If you have any questions, please contact our Client Services Team at clientservices@agentinsider.com or 866-892-4080.
