Marketing built around the clients you actually want.
For Louisiana insurance agencies

Your agency is invisible where homeowners are actually searching.

Google. ChatGPT. We make sure your agency is the answer — across every search surface that matters.

Two phones side by side. Left phone shows Google search results for 'home insurance Lafayette LA hurricane' with a Louisiana independent agency ranked first. Right phone shows ChatGPT answering 'Best independent insurance agency in Lafayette for hurricane coverage' and naming the same agency at the top.
Same Louisiana firm. Google’s #1 and ChatGPT’s top recommendation. Kopfler & Hermann, Personal Injury Lawyers — three months after switching to Abode.

The shift

Search just changed. Most agencies haven’t noticed.

Three years ago, ranking on Google was the entire game. It isn’t anymore.

One

Nobody types “insurance near me” anymore.

They ask their phone full sentences. “Who’s the best independent agency in Lafayette for hurricane coverage?” “What flood insurance options exist for South Louisiana?” “Which agency in Houma can quote a homeowner that just got non-renewed?” These conversational queries go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — and if your agency hasn’t been built to show up in those answers, you’re invisible at the exact moment a homeowner decides who to call.

Two

The Google map pack is the new front page.

Around eighty percent of the clicks for “insurance near me” go to the three agencies in the Google map. If your Google Business Profile isn’t optimized — categories, services, photos geotagged to your actual city, review velocity, posts, Q&A — your beautiful website might as well not exist. We’ve watched agencies with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.

Three

Your website’s code is doing more harm than your content.

Most agency websites are missing the technical foundation search engines and AI tools need to understand them: structured schema markup (telling Google you’re an insurance agency, not a generic business), clean meta descriptions that show up in search snippets, alt text on every image, semantic heading structure, and WCAG-compliant accessibility. You don’t need to know how any of this works — but if your developer didn’t build it in, your agency gets skipped over by the algorithm and exposed to ADA lawsuits at the same time.

Full service · one team

Eight things most agencies hire eight different people to do.

We do all of it under one roof, market-exclusive — meaning we only work with one independent agency per city.

01AI search optimization

The new front page of the internet is a ChatGPT or Perplexity answer — not a Google results page. We engineer your agency to be the name AI tools cite when a homeowner asks “best independent insurance agency in Lafayette” or “who handles flood and hurricane coverage in South Louisiana.” That means structured data the LLMs can parse, authoritative content on every coverage line you write (home, auto, flood, wind, commercial), real third-party citations across insurance and general directories, and ongoing monitoring of how you appear across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews. If you’re not the agency being mentioned, you’re invisible at the moment the homeowner decides who to call.

02Google Business Profile & map pack

Around eighty percent of clicks on “insurance near me” go to the three agencies in the Google map — not the ten organic results below. We rebuild your Google Business Profile from the inside out: correct primary and secondary categories (independent agency, home insurance, auto insurance, flood insurance), every line listed with real descriptions, photos geotagged to your actual city, weekly posts, Q&A populated with real homeowner questions, and a review velocity that signals to Google you’re an active, trusted business. We’ve watched agencies with expensive websites lose to a competitor’s bare-bones page because the competitor owned the map.

03Local SEO & citations

The signals that move local ranking aren’t on your website — they’re spread across the open web. We run Yext-backed citation cleanup across 70+ insurance and general directories so your agency name, address, and phone match everywhere, build the internal linking structure search engines need to crawl your coverage pages, and create dedicated content hubs for every line you write (homeowners, auto, flood, hurricane/wind, commercial, life, umbrella). The result is that Google starts to see your agency as the authority on each coverage line in each city you serve, not a generic “insurance” listing.

04Google Ads & lead capture

Most insurance Google Ads campaigns burn money on click volume that never becomes a quote. We build conversion-tracked campaigns around quoted-policy value — high-intent keywords like “homeowners insurance quote Lafayette” or “flood insurance agent Houma,” tightly geo-targeted, with negative keyword lists that filter out price shoppers who never bind, students, and other agents. Every form, phone call, and chat is tied back to the campaign and ad group that produced it, so we can show you cost-per-bound-policy, not just cost-per-click. When something stops working we kill it; when something is winning we scale it.

05Review automation

Reviews are the single biggest local ranking factor outside of Google Business Profile setup, and they’re the thing your CSR team will not consistently do. We install a multi-step SMS and email review request sequence that fires automatically after a policy binds or a claim closes — nudging the homeowner at the right intervals, routing happy clients to Google and unhappy ones to a private feedback form first. We also draft and post your responses to every review so neither praise nor criticism sits unanswered. The compounding effect is what eventually pushes you into the map pack and keeps you there.

06Website design & updates

Most agency websites were built once, three to five years ago, and have not been touched since. We build (or rebuild) yours on WordPress hosted at Kinsta — fast, secure, and easy for us to maintain — with dedicated coverage pages, producer bios that read like a human wrote them, location pages for every city you serve, and quote forms that actually capture useful underwriting detail. Then we keep it current: new blog posts on hurricane prep, flood zone changes, and Louisiana-specific coverage shifts; page refreshes when carrier appetites change; schema updates when Google changes its rules; and quarterly audits to catch anything broken. Your website should be working harder every month, not quietly decaying.

07Technical SEO & ADA accessibility

The unglamorous backbone most agencies ignore. We implement insurance-specific schema markup (InsuranceAgency, FinancialService), optimize meta titles and descriptions for every page, write descriptive alt text, fix heading structure, audit your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and publish an accessibility statement. Together that’s what makes Google understand your agency — and what keeps you out of an ADA lawsuit.

08Content & social that positions you as the expert

Two posts a week across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn — written in your voice, designed to position you as the trusted local advisor on hurricane prep, flood coverage, home, and auto in your city. We also monitor mentions and reviews so a bad day on the internet doesn’t become a reputation problem. Plus blog content written to be cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity when homeowners ask AI tools “should I switch agents” or “what is flood insurance.”

“After years with a national agency that never picked up the phone, Abode rebuilt our visibility from the ground up. We’re now ranking ahead of firms many times our size in the searches that actually bring us cases.”

— Joseph Kopfler, Owner

How we work

One agency per city. Yours, if you want it.

Market exclusivity isn’t a tagline — it’s how we make sure your competitors never get the same plays we run for you.

  • Free visibility audit before you sign anything
  • Month-to-month — no 12-month contracts
  • We sign with one independent agency per city (Lafayette · Houma · Baton Rouge · Lake Charles · Thibodaux · Prairieville · Youngsville)
  • Direct access to Kayce, not an account manager rotation
  • Monthly reporting that shows leads, calls, and case value — not just impressions
  • Everything done in-house — no offshoring, no white-label resellers

Common questions

What agency owners actually ask.

National marketers treat your agency like account #4,237. They rotate account managers every six months, lean on offshore teams, and roll out the same playbook for a Lafayette independent agency that they use for a Cleveland captive shop. We live here. We know the parishes, the carrier landscape, the storm seasonality, the way Louisiana homeowners search before and after a hurricane, and which cities are bleeding policies to which competitors. And you talk to me — not whoever picked up your file this week.
No annual lock-ins. We ask for a 3-month minimum on ongoing services like SEO and ad management — that’s the honest window for the work to actually show results, and anything shorter means you’re paying for setup without ever seeing the payoff. After that, it’s month-to-month with 30 days notice. One-time projects like a website build or audit aren’t on a contract at all.
It depends entirely on what your firm actually needs. Everything we do is à la carte — you build the engagement around the gaps in your visibility, not a generic tier someone else is paying for. The number changes based on whether you need a brand-new website or just updates to the one you have, whether you want monthly video content or photo-only social, how aggressive you want to go on local SEO and AI search visibility, whether ADA compliance work is in scope, and whether you’re running paid ads on top of organic. After your free audit, I’ll show you exactly what’s broken, what’s missing, and what each piece costs — then you pick what you want to start with. No bundles you don’t need.
Map pack and review velocity move first — usually 30-60 days. Organic ranking and AI search citations take 60-120 days. We send a monthly report so you can see exactly what shifted and what didn’t.
No. We only sign one independent insurance agency per city. If the agency across town is already on our roster, we’d refer you to a vetted partner instead.
We assess your site against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, document the compliance gaps, implement the fixes within our scope (alt text, heading structure, form labels, color contrast, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels), and publish an accessibility statement signed and dated. No agency can issue a legal certification — anyone who says they can is misleading you — but this substantially reduces your lawsuit exposure and shows a good-faith effort that matters in court.
Me — Kayce Sadler, owner — plus a small, vetted team I’ve worked with for years. Everything is done in-house and based in the United States. No offshoring to overseas contractors, no farming the work out to agencies in Asia. Every page, ad, and piece of content is built and reviewed here before it ships.
Ready when you are

Free visibility audit. No pitch attached.

Twenty minutes. I look at your Google rankings, AI search visibility, GBP, and ADA exposure — including how you stack up to the agencies homeowners are quoting alongside you. You leave with a report whether we work together or not.
