Marketing for insurance, measured in bound policies.

Valuing a policy across renewals

Insurance revenue arrives over years, not at the sale. A policy that renews five times is worth far more than its first-year commission, and the right acquisition cost depends on that full value.

We value policies across expected renewals by line, so you see true LTV:CAC instead of judging every channel on month one. That often shows which lines can carry a higher acquisition cost, and which ones only look profitable because the math stops too early.

From quote to bound policy

Quote requests are easy to buy and hard to bind. Many come from shoppers comparing prices with no intent to switch, or from buyers who don't fit your appetite.

We track every quote through to bind, so each campaign is measured on bound policies and their value. Bound-policy data then goes back to the ad platforms, so bidding favors the buyers who actually purchase. The result is usually fewer quotes and more policies.

Search for the lines you write

Different lines have very different buyers. A commercial trucking operator searching for coverage after a lapse is a different person than a family comparing home and auto rates.

• Campaigns split by line and policy value, with budgets set to match
• Landing pages that speak to each buyer's situation, from new authority filings to retirement planning
• Pages that answer the research questions buyers ask before they quote

Research-heavy lines like long-term care and commercial coverage reward in-depth content, which also builds organic demand you don't pay for per click.

Buying leads vs. building owned demand

Purchased leads can fill a pipeline fast. They are often shared with other agents, aged, or low intent, and their prices rarely fall.

We measure every lead source on cost per bound policy. Sources that pay back stay. The rest get replaced with owned demand from search, content, and referral programs, which lowers blended acquisition cost and makes growth less dependent on someone else's inventory.

Compliance and carrier rules

Insurance marketing runs under rules from states, carriers, and in some lines, federal agencies. Medicare marketing has its own federal requirements, and carriers often review ads and landing pages before they run.

We build approval time into the plan, keep claims within what your carriers and licenses allow, and flag anything that needs your compliance team's review. Your agency approves everything published under its name.

Planning for long payback

When acquisition cost is paid up front and revenue comes in over years, growth can strain cash even when every policy is profitable.

We report payback period alongside LTV:CAC, so you can see how long each line takes to return its acquisition cost. That lets you decide how fast to grow, which lines to push when cash is tight, and where a higher acquisition cost is worth carrying.

Retention is part of LTV

Every renewal raises the value of the customer you already paid to win. Retention work, cross-selling, and timely outreach before renewal all lift LTV without adding acquisition cost.

We track retention by source, because some channels bring buyers who stay and others bring buyers who shop again at the first renewal. Moving budget toward the first group improves LTV:CAC from both sides.

What an agency should see every month

Agency owners need to know whether marketing is writing profitable business, not how many quotes came in. Every report we send is built around bound policies and their value.

• Bound policies and premium by line and by channel
• Cost per bound policy against your target for each line
• Quote-to-bind rate by source, so weak lead sources are obvious
• LTV:CAC and payback period by line, including expected renewals

Quote volume and cost per quote are still tracked, but they sit underneath the numbers that show whether growth is paying for itself.
