Insurance agencies

Websites for insurance agencies, built and looked after.

Visitors to an agency site have come for a quote, so the quote form matters more than any other page. The part we watch closest is whether every quote request reaches your inbox, on a site we build for you or the one you have now.

What we look after

What an insurance agency website has to do.

Deliver every quote request

A quote request that lands in spam goes to another agency. We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain so quote emails go to the inbox.

Use the right form for each line

A home quote and a commercial quote ask different questions. We set up a form for each line you write, or embed the quoting tool your agency already uses.

Keep sensitive details out of email

Quote forms can ask for driver's license numbers or dates of birth. We leave those fields to a quoting tool built to hold them, so they don't travel by plain email.

Link the carriers

Clients pay bills and file claims with the carrier. We keep a page of carrier links and claim phone numbers and update it when your carriers change.

Show each office

If you have more than one office, each one gets a page with its hours and the agents who work there.

Introduce the agents

People like to know who they'll talk to. Each agent's page has a photo and a direct line, and we update them when your staff changes.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • We went a month without a single quote request and found out the form had stopped sending.
  • The carrier list still shows a company we haven't written with in two years.
  • Clients call to ask how to file a claim because the website doesn't say.
  • Our quote form asks for so much that people give up halfway through.
A note from Ryan

Quote requests have to arrive

I fill in every quote form on an agency's site and count the fields before I hit send. Forms that ask for everything up front lose people halfway through. Then I check the email arrives in your inbox and not in spam.

Are your quote requests reaching you?

Send us the agency's site and we'll send a test through each quote form, look at the mail records behind it, and tell you what we find.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Every plan comes with the same developer and a free migration. Managed is month to month, and Managed + Website has a 12-month minimum because the new website is part of it.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

On Managed + Website we send a test request through them after each update, and the mail records we set up keep the emails out of spam. If a form stops sending, we fix it out of your monthly hour.

If your agency management system or comparative rater gives you a quote form or an embed, we can add it to the site. We use the form the tool provides rather than building our own connection to it.

Only if it sends them somewhere built to hold them. A plain website form sends its contents by email, so we keep those forms to the basics and let the quoting tool or a phone call collect the rest. A shorter form also means more people finish it.

Yes, and moving it is free. On Managed you keep editing the site yourself and we look after the rest. If the site is due for replacing, Managed + Website builds you a new one with shorter quote forms.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
Nathan T.
I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
