About the Client

Gelfand Insurance Group is a locally owned, independent insurance agency serving clients throughout the Pacific Northwest. Known for their community-first approach and personalized service, the team is committed to helping individuals and businesses find coverage that fits their needs.

The Challenge

Before partnering with Digital Media Consultants, Gelfand Insurance Group faced several marketing challenges common to local insurance agencies:

→ Lack of transparency from their previous vendor — no access to analytics or insight into website performance.

→ A website that didn’t reflect their culture, personality, or team values.

→ Heavy reliance on referrals, with minimal lead generation from search or digital channels.

Their goal was clear: establish a stronger online presence, gain visibility in local search, and attract new clients through digital marketing.

Our Approach

Our mission was to help Gelfand Insurance take control of their digital marketing and create a sustainable lead generation system that accurately reflected their brand.

We started with a complete digital audit, then developed a strategy centered on transparency, measurable growth, and authentic brand representation.

Key Initiatives:

→ Website Redesign: Built a clean, mobile-friendly site that highlights their approachable team and community-driven brand.

→ SEO Optimization: Applied on-page SEO best practices and structured data to improve keyword rankings and organic visibility.

→ Google Business Profile Optimization: Enhanced local SEO with consistent NAP (name, address, phone) data, service categories, and engaging imagery.

→ Paid Search (Google Ads): Designed and launched targeted campaigns to attract qualified leads for auto, home, and business insurance services.

Execution

Collaboration with Gelfand Insurance was key to ensuring every element aligned with their vision.

On the Paid Search side, our team:

→ Conducted keyword research to target high-intent search queries.

→ Created compelling ad copy that emphasized trust, local service, and personalization.

→ Implemented conversion tracking to monitor form fills and phone calls.

→ Continuously optimized campaigns to reduce cost-per-lead and maximize ROI.

The Results

Within just one quarter of launching their new digital marketing strategy, Gelfand Insurance achieved measurable growth across every channel:

→ 16% increase in lead volume in Q4

→ 29 new clients acquired directly through Google Ads

→ 100% transparency and ownership of all marketing data and analytics
