Industry: Independent insurance agency — auto, home, business and life  ·  Location: Hudson Falls & Galway, NY — Washington and Saratoga Counties  ·  Website: kinneyinsurance.com

The Challenge

Insurance quote requests are time-sensitive. A prospect comparing agencies will go with whoever responds first, so a web form that emails a generic inbox is not good enough.

The agency needed every website inquiry, with all of the details the prospect entered, delivered instantly to the right team members, logged in a system the agency owns, and easy to follow up on, without adding software the staff would have to learn.

What Media Pillars Built & Manages

Media Pillars provides the agency's website and the lead-capture system behind it.

Website Contact & Quote-Request Capture

Contact and quote-request forms built on the Media Pillars platform and embedded on the agency website, capturing every field the prospect enters.

Instant Team Notifications

Each submission is emailed in full to the agency's designated team members the moment it arrives, so follow-up starts immediately.

CRM Record for Every Inquiry

Every inquiry becomes a contact record in the agency's own CRM sub-account, giving staff a history of every web lead and a place to track follow-up.

Website Care & Support

Ongoing WordPress maintenance, updates, and support so the agency's site stays secure and current.

Local Search Foundations

On-page optimization for the agency's two office locations and the communities they serve.

Ready for Automation

The CRM foundation allows missed-call text-back, review requests, and renewal-reminder automations to be switched on as the agency grows.

The Outcome

  • No web lead sits unseen: submissions reach the team instantly with every detail included.
  • The agency owns a growing record of its web inquiries instead of a scattered email inbox.
  • Staff use the tools they already know, email and the website, while the CRM does the bookkeeping behind the scenes.
  • A foundation is in place for text-back, review, and renewal automations when the agency is ready.
