Why an Advisr profile helps you dominate in Google (SEO)

These days, people Google everything. You do it, your friends and family do it and your clients, well they do it too. People literally Google everything. So as an Insurance Broker, how are you staying on top of the changes in the Google algorithm (how Google determines what to return when people search for things) and how are you keeping up with and ahead of your competitors? The team at Advisr can help you navigate the complexity of Google, optimise your profiles and develop great customer-focused content to attract the right customers.  

What people Google
People Google everything. In regards to Googling for Insurance and Insurance brokers, people Google lots of different things that can loosely be grouped together into four key groups. These four key groups influence how we think and it is why Advisr is structured the way it is, to ensure you maximise your reach with customers across all their search intentions. So what are these four key groups.

People Google your name 
Yes, that is right, customers Google your name to find out what it is like to work with you (customer reviews) and to be influenced into whether on not they should take action and reach out and connect. So have you Googled yourself lately and seen what comes back? Your customers are Googling you, so you'd better be thinking about improving what they are able to see.
 
People Google your company name 
The name on the door matters. Customers want to find and connect with your company and to find your contact details, they Google you. So making sure that they find the correct details such as your office location, phone number and email contact details is essential. To ensure you have this sorted, you need to optimise your online company profiles across multiple online providers such as Google Business, Yellow Pages and Advisr.
