Q&A on Increasing Visibility and Awareness for Your New ITC Website

Q: Now that I have my new ITC website, what is the next step for me to provide offsite visibility and exposure?

A: Make sure that you add your new website to all the following:

• Agency business cards
• Agency letterhead
• Agency flyers
• Agency brochures
• Advertising, including print, tv, radio, billboards, etc.
• AgencyBuzz newsletters, and/or any email marketing initiatives you use
• Invoices and/or billing statements
• Your voicemail
• Any place your company is listed: online directory listings, business correspondence, etc.

• Friends and family
• Colleagues
• Referral partnerships (You can use the Partner module in the Insurance Website Builder admin console)
• Strategic alliances
• Seminars you hold or sponsor
• Strategic partner presentations or lectures
• When you let your prospective clients know about your website, it ingrains the idea that you are trustworthy, credible, and in business for the long-term.
• Use your website as a marketing tool to structure strategic partnerships and/or referral partners.
• Keep it dynamic... static websites are a turnoff to search engines and visitors.
• Remember that FRESH content is the best content!
