What Does Exclusivity Mean in Insurance Marketing?

November 1, 2023 - If you’re an insurance agent, perhaps you’ve heard the word exclusivity thrown around by different marketing agencies.

Companies often tout this word as a way to make their services seem more appealing, but what exactly does exclusivity mean in the world of insurance marketing? Perhaps we should ask if it even means anything at all.

Separating Hype From Reality

You’ll often hear marketing agencies promise you exclusivity with major search and social media platforms — such as Google, Microsoft Ads and Facebook — when it comes to targeting specific locations.

Here’s the catch, though: None of these major platforms offer exclusivity.

Sure, a marketing agency may offer to work with you exclusively in your specific location, but this in no way means they have the ability to give you a higher advantage or stop your competition from running ads on these platforms or bidding on the same exact keywords in your target area. Also, keep this in mind: The more competing marketing groups in your market using the same keywords, the higher the click and lead costs will be.

In addition, if a company claims to provide exclusivity within a specific radius or a set of zip codes, it should raise the question of whether you can run ads in other states where you’re licensed in. If they say you can, that doesn’t sound so exclusive, right?

When searching for a digital marketing agency, you should be seeking a company that talks about what they can actually accomplish based on competitors and keyword volume.
