The insurance brokers we work with
At Localsearch, we market insurance brokers against direct insurers with enormous ad budgets. You don't win that fight on spend, you win it on specificity: the trades, transport operators, cafés and strata committees in your region who need cover explained rather than sold. We build the search presence and the site that makes your advice visible before the renewal date.
What we hear most
- 1Direct insurers outbid you on every generic insurance search in your area.
- 2The site talks about products rather than the industries you actually place cover for.
- 3Referrals carry the business, so nothing new comes in when a referrer retires.

The playbook for insurance brokers
In priority order, start here, layer the rest as you grow.
SEO
Rank for the niches you write well — trades, transport, hospitality, strata — with your city attached, where direct insurers don't compete.
Websites
A page per industry you cover, with a short enquiry form that captures business type, turnover band and renewal month.
Google Business Profile
Reviews from local business owners are the strongest trust signal a broker can show, and they surface in map results at renewal time.
Google Ads
Target renewal-intent and claim-help searches rather than broad terms the direct insurers own.

Questions insurance brokers ask
Can insurance brokers advertise online with compliance constraints?
Yes. General advice warnings, licence details and product disclosure references belong in the page footer and near any product statement. The marketing itself is unaffected — you're promoting advice and service, not making personal recommendations on a web page.
What content actually wins broker enquiries?
Plain-English explanations of the covers a specific industry needs and what commonly gets excluded. Business owners search for problems, not policy names, and the broker who answers the problem gets the call.
Should we build pages for each industry we cover?
For the three or four you place the most business in, absolutely. A page written for one industry converts far better than a general commercial insurance page and picks up searches your competitors ignore.
