How much should I budget for the actual Google Ads spend in a market like Trinidad?

Insurance keywords are pricey, but a smaller market like Trinidad means less competition than a major metro. A reasonable starting ad budget depends on how many coverage types you want to advertise and how wide your geographic target is. We can help you figure out the right number before anything goes live.

Can you target people searching for specific coverage types like home or auto insurance?

Yes, and that's exactly how we'd structure it. Each coverage type gets its own campaign or ad group so the ad copy matches what the person is actually searching for. Someone looking for a homeowner's quote shouldn't see an ad about life insurance.

What if I already have a Google Ads account that's been running?

We'll audit what's there. Sometimes the bones of a campaign are fine and just need cleanup—better keywords, tighter location targeting, negative keyword lists. Other times it makes more sense to rebuild from scratch. Either way, we'll tell you what we find before making changes.

How do I know if a lead came from Google Ads or somewhere else?

We set up conversion tracking so you can see exactly which clicks turned into quote requests, phone calls, or form submissions. You'll know which keywords are producing real leads and which ones are just producing clicks.

Do I need a website before running Google Ads?

You need somewhere to send people when they click. If you don't have a site, or your current one doesn't have a clear way to request a quote, we can build one. A full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week.

The Problem With Running Your Own Ads as an Insurance Agent

Google Ads for insurance is expensive. Cost-per-click in the insurance space runs higher than almost any other industry. So when a click lands on your site and that person bounces without requesting a quote, you just paid real money for nothing.

And that's what happens when campaigns aren't set up with intention. You bid on broad terms like "insurance near me" and end up paying for clicks from people looking for health insurance when you sell home and auto. Or your ads show across all of East Texas when your book of business is really Trinidad and Henderson County. Every mismatched click is money gone.

The other issue is neglect. A lot of agents set up a campaign, pick some keywords, write an ad, and walk away. Google will happily keep spending your budget whether the campaign is working or not. Without someone watching the data—adjusting bids, pausing underperforming keywords, testing new ad copy—your cost-per-lead drifts upward and your results drift downward. It's a slow leak, and it's hard to notice until the budget's spent and the phone didn't ring.

How We'd Set This Up for You

We build campaigns around what actually matters to your agency. If you write auto, home, and life policies, each one gets its own ad group with its own keywords and its own landing page focus. Someone searching for a car insurance quote in Trinidad sees an ad about car insurance—not a generic ad about your agency.

Geographic targeting gets locked down tight. Trinidad's a small town. You probably serve folks across Henderson County and maybe into neighboring areas. We set the radius to match your actual service area so you're not paying for clicks from Houston or Beaumont.

Negative keywords matter just as much as the ones you bid on. We block out searches for insurance jobs, insurance courses, carriers you don't represent, and anything else that wastes spend. And we keep adding to that list as data comes in. The goal is simple: every dollar goes toward reaching someone who might actually need a policy.

A Straight Talk About What This Costs and What You Get

You're going to ask what this runs. Fair. Our Google Ads management starts at $750/mo, and that's separate from your actual ad spend with Google. That covers setup, keyword research, campaign structure, ongoing adjustments, and reporting you can actually read.

Is it worth it? Depends on your numbers. What's a new policy worth to your agency over its lifetime? If one or two new clients a month cover the management fee and then some, the math is pretty clear. And you only pay Google when someone clicks—not when your ad shows up.

Will it work overnight? No. The first few weeks are about gathering data. What keywords are getting clicks. Which ones are turning into quote requests. What times of day perform best. We use that data to tighten things up. But you should see movement within the first month. If something's off, we adjust. That's the whole point of having someone manage it instead of letting it run on autopilot.

You'll know exactly where your money is going. No mystery about what was spent or what it produced.
