Insurance lead generation measured on issued policies
The short answer
Insurance leads are only worth what converts to a policy that stays in force. High volumes of cheap leads often include people who are ineligible, just browsing or unreachable — and each one costs call-centre time. Insurance lead generation has to qualify for eligibility and intent, respond fast and learn from which leads actually became policies.
Product-specific funnels
- Term insurance — age, income, smoking status and cover needs; medical checks for larger covers
- Health insurance — family size, existing conditions and budget; renewals and portability
- Motor insurance — renewal dates and vehicle details; highly seasonal by renewal cycle
- Savings and investment-linked plans — needs careful, compliant communication
How we run it
- Compliance first — creative and landing pages approved before launch.
- Qualifying forms — age band, cover required, city and existing policies.
- Search campaigns for high-intent product queries.
- Meta lead ads for awareness and life-event targeting, with strong qualification.
- Callback within minutes, plus WhatsApp for quotes and documents.
- Offline conversions — quote, application and issuance sent back to ad platforms.
Mistakes
- Optimising for cost per lead with no link to policy issuance
- Claims that overstate benefits or omit key exclusions
- Slow callbacks after the lead is created
- Ignoring persistency — policies that lapse quickly
The insurance calendar
- January to March — tax-saving season drives term and health insurance demand
- Motor renewals — continuous, tied to vehicle purchase anniversaries
- Health renewals — policy anniversaries and portability windows
- Life events — marriage, children, home purchase, new job
- Health scares and seasonal illness — interest spikes, but advertising must stay responsible

A worked example
An insurance advisor's leads were cheap but rarely bought. We built product-specific funnels for term, health and motor insurance, added eligibility questions, called leads within minutes and fed outcomes back to the ad platforms. Policies sold per rupee spent improved.

Frequently asked questions
Which channel produces the best insurance leads?
Google Search usually produces the highest-intent leads; Meta produces volume that needs strong qualification.
How do regulations affect insurance ads?
Insurance advertising must follow IRDAI rules and platform policies. Every creative needs compliance review.
Can WhatsApp be used for insurance?
Yes, with consent — for quotes, document collection and renewal reminders.
What is a good cost per issued policy?
It depends on product, premium and commission. Set targets from first-year premium economics and lifetime value.
Do insurance lead forms work on Meta?
Yes, especially with qualifying questions and fast advisor follow-up. Optimise toward qualified or issued outcomes.
How important is renewal marketing?
Very — renewals are cheaper than new policies. Reminders by WhatsApp, SMS and email protect retention.

We generate leads for your business only; selling or sharing leads raises consent and quality issues.
Which insurance products generate the most leads online?
Health, term and motor insurance are common online purchases; each needs its own funnel.
Can insurance ads mention premiums?
Only accurately and with required conditions; compliance review is essential.
How long does Lead Generation for Insurance take to show results?
Tracking fixes and search campaigns often show improvement within two to four weeks; prospecting on Meta or YouTube usually needs three to six weeks of creative testing; SEO compounds over three to nine months. We agree leading indicators up front so progress is visible early.
Is there a long contract?
No. Minimum terms are short, because we would rather keep clients with results than with contracts.
Will we own the ad accounts and data?
Yes. Everything runs in your own accounts with partner access for PMG, and you can see it all at any time.
What do you need from us to start?
Access to ad accounts and analytics, your margins and order values (or deal values), brand assets, and a decision-maker available for a weekly 30-minute call.
