When Hudson, WI customers ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for Insurance Broker, Anchor Insurance shows up just 2% of the time — The Insurance Center wins the rest.
What We Found
My honest bottom line is that Anchor Insurance needs a full rebuild rather than repairs, because the current site's problems run deeper than any patch can fix.
The content isn't working: 14 of 25 pages earned zero clicks in a year, blog posts read like generic filler with no call to action, and nothing on the site explains what makes Anchor different from the broker down the street — that missing story is your biggest untapped opportunity.
You're nearly invisible where it now matters most: only 2% AI visibility, and when people ask AI tools for an insurance broker, it recommends a competitor ("The Insurance Center") instead of you — a rebuild lets us structure the site so you're the one getting named.
The foundation is dated and slow: a 69 mobile performance score, stock imagery, missing meta descriptions on 9 pages, and a "wall of logos" carrier page all signal to both visitors and search engines that the site is behind — this is where a fresh build pays off immediately.
You're spreading too thin: the service area is huge with no local pages, and 8 pages show no sense of place — building dedicated Hudson and surrounding-area pages will help you win the local searches that actually convert.
A rebuild lets us add the tools that turn visitors into calls: a simple cost estimator, live chat, clear calls to action on every page, and proper tracking on phone-number clicks so we can finally measure what's working.
Est. impact of closing the gap: +$138,420/yr — actual results vary with competition, implementation quality, and market conditions.

Internal Linking
Which pages the site links to from its other pages. Links are how both Google and AI learn which pages matter — a service page nothing links to looks unimportant, however good it is.

Every service page has at least a couple of internal links pointing to it.
Inbound-link counts are measured across the crawled pages; a page linked only from an un-crawled page may read as weaker than it is.
Revenue Opportunity

The Rebuild — What It Must Get Right
