The homeowner has thousands of ways to fill out an online insurance quote form, have it sent to five different agents and receive a quote on their home. But for the most part, these particular insurance quote companies do not ask the homeowner about their unique situation. This leaves agents scratching their heads, constantly fighting leads with other agents.
For the most part, agents are not going to write a policy 75 miles from their location. A couple tips is that if you don’t have a website start building one and secondly make sure it is optimized for the search engines. When consumers are looking to protect their most valued asset, they feel more “at home” dealing with a local agent in the area, whether they are a first time homebuyer or a homeowner looking to reduce their monthly premium. InsureMyHouse.com created the 1st online local homeowners insurance agent directory over 6 years ago. In addition they have a “Learn the Basics” section for visitors looking to do research on homeowners insurance. In addition, they provide a “Find an Agent” locater tool sorted by state and zip code. The directory is used for insurance agents so they can market their agency for homeowners insurance by zip code and provide the homeowner with a simple way of finding a local agent. When the consumer selects an agent’s zip code(s), only that agent’s information appears. With 100,000 monthly visitors they are helping agents establish an internet presence in a cost effective manner.
