London insurers need Google Ads campaigns that generate qualified broker enquiries and policyholder leads while meeting FCA advertising standards. We manage compliant, performance-focused paid search campaigns for insurers, syndicates, and MGAs, ensuring your advertising budget drives genuine business development results.

Advertising insurance on Google requires navigating FCA financial promotions rules, Google's insurance advertising verification requirements, and competition from aggregators and direct insurers with substantial budgets. We build and manage campaigns specifically for London market insurers, targeting the search terms brokers and policyholders use when seeking specialist cover, capacity, and underwriting expertise.

Our approach

A proven four-stage process that turns ad spend into measurable revenue growth.

Discovery & Audit

We audit your existing Google Ads account (or assess your market from scratch), analyse competitors, review your landing pages and identify the highest-value opportunities for your budget and goals.

Strategy & Setup

We build a custom PPC strategy covering campaign structure, keyword targeting, bidding approach, ad copy and audience segmentation — then configure everything in your account, including conversion tracking.

Launch & Optimise

Campaigns go live with close monitoring. We continuously optimise bids, pause underperforming keywords, test new ad variations, refine audiences and adjust budgets to maximise your return on ad spend.

Report & Scale

Monthly performance reports with clear ROAS metrics. We review what's working, identify scaling opportunities and continually push your campaigns to deliver more conversions at a better cost per acquisition.

Why choose Cloudswitched for insurance Google Ads?

We understand both FCA financial promotions rules and Google's insurance advertising verification requirements, ensuring your campaigns comply with both regulatory and platform policies.

We target the high-intent search terms that indicate genuine buying signals from brokers seeking capacity and policyholders seeking cover, maximising the commercial value of every click.

Our landing page strategies are designed for insurance conversion — clear product information, regulatory disclosures, trust signals, and streamlined enquiry or quote request flows.

We manage negative keyword strategies that prevent your budget being wasted on unrelated insurance searches, job seekers, claims queries, and informational traffic unlikely to convert.

Transparent reporting connects every pound of ad spend to measurable business outcomes — broker enquiries, quote requests, and cost per qualified lead — so you understand the return on your advertising investment.

What's included in our Google Ads service

Campaign Strategy & Account Setup

A complete Google Ads strategy built around your goals, audience and budget. We structure your account using best-practice architecture, set up conversion tracking with Google Tag Manager, and configure audience lists for remarketing. Existing accounts get a full audit first to identify wasted spend and quick wins.

Keyword Research & Bid Management

In-depth keyword research mapped to buyer intent with bid strategies that maximise conversions within your budget. Ongoing negative keyword management, match type refinement, device and location bid adjustments, and automated bidding strategy testing ensure every pound works harder.

Ad Copy & Creative

Compelling ad copy written to maximise click-through rates and quality scores. Multiple responsive search ad variations per ad group, systematic headline and description testing, plus full ad extensions -- sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets and call extensions to dominate the results page.

Landing Page Recommendations

We audit your landing pages for conversion rate, page speed, mobile usability and message match -- then provide specific, actionable recommendations. Because we also build websites, we can implement improvements ourselves -- no waiting for a third-party developer.

Conversion Tracking & Analytics

Accurate tracking for form submissions, phone calls and e-commerce transactions using Google Tag Manager, GA4 and Google Ads conversion tags. Enhanced conversions, offline conversion imports and attribution modelling show the true value of your campaigns beyond last-click metrics.

Remarketing & Audience Strategy

Remarketing audiences segmented by behaviour -- page visitors, cart abandoners, past converters and lookalikes -- with tailored creative for each segment. Plus Google's in-market audiences, custom intent targeting and demographic targeting to reach new customers matching your ideal buyer profile.

Competitor & Market Analysis

We monitor competitors' keywords, ad copy, landing pages and estimated spend to find gaps they're missing. Regular auction insights analysis shows how your impression share and outranking share compare, so we can adjust strategy to win more of the clicks that matter.

Monthly Reporting & Strategy Reviews

Detailed monthly reports covering impressions, clicks, conversions, cost per acquisition and return on ad spend -- explained clearly with actionable context. Monthly strategy calls review performance and plan optimisation priorities, with quarterly deep-dives to keep strategy aligned with your goals.

Why Cloudswitched for Google Ads?

We combine deep technical knowledge with data-driven PPC strategy to deliver campaigns that generate real revenue — not just clicks.

IT company, not just an agency

We understand how websites, servers and conversion funnels work at a deep technical level. Our landing pages are fast, our tracking is accurate and our technical implementation goes far beyond what a typical PPC agency delivers.

Fixed fees, not percentage-of-spend

Our management fees are transparent and fixed. We'll never recommend increasing your budget just to inflate our own fees — our incentive is always aligned with getting you the best possible return.

ROAS-focused, not clicks-focused

We measure success by revenue and return on ad spend — not impressions, clicks or other vanity metrics. Every optimisation decision is tied to a clear commercial outcome for your business.

Campaigns and landing pages under one roof

Because we build websites and landing pages in-house, we can create, test and iterate CRO-optimised pages without waiting for a third-party developer. Strategy and execution, completely integrated.

Bulletproof conversion tracking

Accurate tracking is the foundation of every profitable campaign. We set up and validate conversion tracking via Google Tag Manager, ensuring every phone call, form fill and transaction is measured correctly.

No lock-in contracts

We don't tie you into 12-month contracts. Our clients stay because of results, not obligations. Month-to-month agreements with 30 days' notice — we earn your business every single month.

Transparent, honest reporting

Monthly reports in plain English — not jargon-filled PDFs. We show you exactly where every pound went, what it generated and what we're optimising next. Full visibility, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Google Ads for insurance businesses? We've answered the most common ones below.

Do you understand the Lloyd's market and syndicate technology requirements?

Yes. We support Lloyd's syndicates, managing agents, and coverholders across London. We understand Lloyd's market messaging, placing platforms, and the specific technology standards Lloyd's requires, including the ongoing Blueprint Two modernisation programme.

Can you help with Solvency II data and reporting requirements?

We ensure your IT infrastructure supports accurate, timely data aggregation for Solvency II reporting. This includes maintaining data integrity across underwriting, claims, and finance systems, implementing proper backup and retention policies, and supporting your actuarial and finance teams with reliable technology.

How do you handle legacy system migration in insurance?

We plan and execute phased migrations that modernise your technology without disrupting live underwriting or claims operations. We maintain parallel running periods, comprehensive data migration testing, and rollback plans to ensure business continuity throughout the transition.

What insurance-specific cyber threats should we be concerned about?

Insurance firms face targeted phishing campaigns exploiting policy and claims data, ransomware attacks aimed at disrupting operations, and data theft targeting the sensitive personal, medical, and financial information you hold. We implement layered security controls addressing these specific threat vectors.
