How long before I start seeing leads from Google Ads?

Most campaigns start generating clicks within the first few days. Actual quote requests and calls usually pick up within the first two weeks as we gather data and tighten the targeting. It's not instant, but it's a lot faster than waiting for SEO to kick in.

Can you target just Wood County or do ads go everywhere?

We set a specific geographic radius around Quitman and whatever surrounding areas you serve. If you write policies across Wood County, Mineola, Winnsboro, or further out, we adjust for that. Your ads won't show to someone in Houston unless you want them to.

What if someone clicks my ad but doesn't actually need insurance?

That's what negative keywords are for. We build a list of search terms to exclude—things like "insurance jobs," "free insurance," and other phrases that attract the wrong clicks. We update this list regularly based on the actual search terms people use before clicking your ads.

Do I need a website to run Google Ads?

Yes. Your ads need somewhere to send people, and that page needs to make it easy to request a quote or pick up the phone. If you don't have a site or your current one isn't set up for conversions, we can build one before launching ads.

How is this different from the postcards and mailers I already send?

Mailers go to everyone whether they need insurance or not. Google Ads only show up when someone is actively searching for coverage. You're not interrupting anyone—you're answering a question they already have. And you only pay when they click.

The Problem With Running Your Own Ads

Google makes it real easy to start spending money. They'll walk you through setup, suggest keywords, and before you know it you're paying $15 a click for "insurance" with no location filter and no idea who's clicking. That's not advertising. That's just... donating to Google.

Insurance is one of the most expensive categories in Google Ads. The keywords are pricey because every carrier and agency in the country is bidding on them. So if your targeting is off by even a little—wrong area, wrong match type, wrong ad copy—you can burn through a monthly budget in a week with nothing to show for it. No quote requests. No calls. Just a credit card bill.

And the frustrating part? Google Ads absolutely can work for insurance agents in Quitman and Wood County. Folks search for car insurance, homeowners coverage, life insurance quotes—they search for all of it. The demand is there. The issue is almost always in how the campaign is built, not whether people are looking.

What We Actually Do With Your Ad Spend

We build your campaigns from scratch with tight geographic targeting around Quitman and whatever radius makes sense for your agency. We pick keywords that match what someone types when they're actually ready to get a quote—not just browsing. There's a big difference between someone searching "what is liability insurance" and someone searching "car insurance quotes near me." We want the second person.

Your ads point to pages that make it easy to request a quote or call you directly. That matters more than people realize. A great ad that sends someone to a confusing page is a waste. We also set up conversion tracking so you can see exactly how many calls and form submissions came from your ads. Real numbers, not guesses.

And then—this is the part most people skip—we actually watch the data. Every week. We adjust bids, pause keywords that aren't converting, and shift budget toward what's working. A campaign that runs on autopilot for three months is a campaign that's probably wasting money by month two.

OK So What Does This Cost and Is It Worth It

Fair question. Our SEO and ads management starts at $750/mo. That's our management fee—your actual ad spend with Google is separate, and we'll help you figure out a budget that makes sense for Quitman's market size. You're not competing with agencies in Dallas here, so the budget doesn't need to be massive.

Is it worth it? Think about what one new policy is worth to your agency. Not just the first premium—the lifetime value. If a single auto policy sticks around for five years, that one client probably paid for a couple months of ad management. A homeowners or life policy? Even more. You only need a few good leads a month for this to make sense.

If you don't have a website yet—or yours needs work—we can handle that too. A full website built for an insurance agency starts at $1,500 and usually takes about a week. But the ads management is where the ongoing work happens.
