Generate Cost-Effective Leads

The expert first explains what SEO and PPC are at a high level. SEO refers to organic techniques to improve search engine rankings, like content creation and site optimization. The goal is to rank highly and get traffic from unpaid search results.

PPC is paid advertising where you bid on keywords and pay a fee when someone clicks your ad. The ads often appear above organic results. When clicked, PPC ads send visitors to targeted landing pages rather than a website's homepage.

A key difference is that SEO aims to optimize public pages people find through search. PPC sends traffic to specialized landing pages that align with a specific ad and conversion goal.

The discussion moves on to discuss common PPC mistakes insurance agents make. One is sending PPC traffic to their general website homepage instead of a focused landing page. Homepage visitors may get distracted and leave instead of converting.

Another mistake is having unfocused landing page content that doesn't lead visitors to the desired action. Effective landing pages remove navigation and focus solely on the ad's purpose.

Next, they explore how independent agents can compete with the large PPC budgets of big insurance companies. The key is to be extremely targeted with your niche, location, and ad keywords. Match this with landing pages personalized to your agency.
