How long before I start getting leads from Google Ads?

Most campaigns start producing clicks within the first few days. Leads — actual quote requests and phone calls — usually show up within the first two weeks. It takes about 30 days to gather enough data to start making real performance improvements.

What if nobody in Tatum is searching for insurance right now?

We target beyond just Tatum proper. Your ads can reach people in surrounding areas of Rusk County and nearby communities who are searching for insurance agents. The targeting stays tight enough to be relevant but wide enough to generate volume.

Do I need a website before running Google Ads?

You need somewhere to send the traffic. If you don't have a site, or your current one doesn't have a way to request a quote or schedule an appointment, we can build one. A full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week.

Can I target specific types of insurance with my ads?

Yes. We can run separate campaigns or ad groups for auto, home, life, renters, commercial — whatever lines you write. This lets you control budget by coverage type and see which ones produce the best return.

What's the difference between Google Ads and SEO?

SEO builds your visibility in organic search results over time. Google Ads puts you at the top of the page immediately, but you pay per click. For insurance agents who need leads now, ads are the faster path. Running both together gives you the best coverage.

You Can't Afford Bad Clicks

Tatum isn't a massive market. You've got a limited number of people searching for insurance at any given time. So when your ads show up for someone comparing motorcycle helmets or looking for insurance jobs, that's your budget disappearing for nothing.

What We Actually Do With Your Ad Spend

We set up your Google Ads account from scratch or fix what's already there. Keyword targeting gets built around the coverage types you sell — auto, homeowners, renters, life, whatever you write. We add negative keywords so you stop paying for junk traffic. And we set geographic targeting tight enough that you're not advertising to someone three counties away who'll never drive to your office.

Your ads link to pages that make it easy to request a quote or book an appointment. Not your homepage. Not a generic contact form with twelve fields. A fast, clear path from "I need car insurance" to "here's my info, call me."

We watch the numbers weekly. Cost per click, cost per lead, which keywords convert and which ones just burn budget. If something's not working, we change it. If a keyword's eating spend without producing calls, it gets cut.

Why This Works for Insurance Agents in Tatum

Insurance is one of the best industries for Google Ads. People search for it when they need it — new car, new house, policy renewal coming up, rates went up. That's intent you can't get from a billboard on FM 149.

But the margin for error is thin. Bid too high on broad keywords and you'll spend your whole monthly budget in a week. Bid too low and your ads never show. Target too wide and you're paying for clicks from Longview or Marshall from folks who want a local agent in their own town. Target too narrow and there's not enough volume to learn what works.

That's the balance we manage. Tatum sits in Rusk County with a handful of surrounding communities. We know how to structure campaigns for small-market areas where the search volume is lower but the intent per search is high. Every click matters more, so every click needs to count.

Your campaigns also feed you data. You'll see which types of coverage people search for most, which days and times produce the best leads, and where your callers are coming from. That's information you can use beyond just ads — it tells you what your market actually wants.

Google Ads management starts at $750/mo, which covers campaign setup, ongoing management, and regular reporting. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google — you control that budget. We'll recommend a spend level based on your market and goals, but you're never locked into a number that doesn't make sense for your office.
