November 8, 2024 - Portland, OR-area insurance agent Trevor McBride had already been running his agency for nearly seven years before coming across Melon Local.
Previously, he’d tried working with other marketing companies but didn’t quite find the fruitful partnership he needed for his digital presence. Despite only joining us in February, Trevor has grown to love Melon Local for a number of reasons, including our personalized approach to digital marketing and transformative workshops.
Check out these five reasons why he loves Melon Local!
1. Marketing with a Personal Touch
It’s just been so much better. What I love about Melon Local is that you guys talk to me like I’m a real person — not just the same generic, ‘Here are your results.’ The monthly check-ins have been super nice. My Client Success Manager has done a really good job holding me accountable even when we need a review. She’s great at making sure I’m updating my website and sends me my personalized content calendar every month.
2. Everything is Always Current
Before Melon Local, my Google page would go months — if not six months or a year — without any updates. Since joining Melon Local, we’ve gotten more business. Our website leads are up significantly, and I’ve had more people call the office, saying, ‘Hey, I found you on Google.’ I like that Melon Local always makes sure my two sites are being updated, my product tiles are up to date, and that they’re checking my SEO and creating content for my team. They do so many things to ensure I’m presenting myself in the best light.
3. Melon Knows How to Use Keywords
My Success Manager spent a lot of time on my website reviewing my keywords. Initially, I had just put everything into AI, but she said, ‘Hey, let’s rewrite things.’ So, she helped me put the right keywords in place and ensured we were compliant. When it comes to my digital presence, Melon Local has really put one together for me. These are the things that have helped me get seen on my site and get more quotes through my landing page.
4. Extra Value with Agent Workshops
Melon Local brings the best of the best agents to the table with their Melon University workshops. I’ve never been offered anything like this from other companies. For example, listening to Jeff Burtis and Karen Michaels speak earlier this year was a huge highlight — especially their focus on prioritizing personal health and how that can translate into agency growth. That’s such a value add you don’t get from other places. My performance has gone up because of the things I’ve learned through attending these workshops.
5. We’re Expanding Our Reach
Recently, someone was looking for an insurance agent about 30 miles away. I don’t understand how it works, but she found us on Google and said, ‘I saw your reviews and your search results.’ It was one of the biggest households we’ve written up from Google. We didn’t get those calls last year. It’s been nice not having to buy as many leads because we have business coming in now — people are finding us. It’s great being front and center where people do business and Melon Local has helped make that happen.
