Carl Willis - Agent Branding & Marketing

Are you an insurance agent struggling to show up in Google's AI-powered search results? You're not alone. With AI Overviews now dominating search, 70% of buying decisions happen BEFORE prospects ever contact you—and if you're not visible in those AI results, you're completely invisible to potential clients.

In this comprehensive training, Carl Willis, CEO of Agent Branding and Marketing, reveals the exact strategies successful insurance agents are using to dominate their local markets in the age of AI-driven search.

What You'll Discover:

✅ Why Google's Gemini AI is filtering out agents who aren't optimized (and how to fix it) 

✅ The 3 forces changing insurance marketing forever in 2026 

✅ How to build a digital footprint that gets recommended by AI search engines

✅ Why organic traffic dropped 61% and paid traffic dropped 68% in 2025—and what to do about it 

✅ The exact ecosystem components that make agents visible vs. invisible in AI searches 

✅ Real case study: How one Phoenix agent achieved 238% visibility increase and 3X lead flow 

✅ 5 non-negotiable moves every insurance agent must make to stay competitive

The New Reality of Insurance Marketing:

Google's AI now provides curated answers instead of link lists. Your prospects are making trust decisions based on what AI shows them—before they ever visit your website or call your office. If your Google Business Profile, reviews, and localized content don't check all the boxes, you simply don't exist in the consumer's decision-making process.

Here's What's Working in 2026:

🎯 Optimized Google Business Profiles that Google's AI loves to recommend 

🎯 High-quality, localized service pages that answer multi-step questions 

🎯 Consistent review systems across multiple platforms (not just one) 

🎯 Short-form video content that trains AI models to recognize your expertise 

🎯 Multi-platform visibility that meets prospects wherever they're researching

The 5 Critical Shifts for Insurance Agents:

  1. Think like a brand, not just an agent
  2. Become a publisher of helpful, localized content
  3. Optimize for multi-platform visibility (repurpose everything)
  4. Use AI tools to plan and create content efficiently
  5. Build a human brand with emotion and storytelling

Why This Matters for Established Agents:

If you're already generating $500K+ annually, you understand the value of consistent lead flow. But the old playbook is broken. Vendor-generated content won't cut it. Generic websites get filtered out. The compressed sales cycle means you need to build trust BEFORE the first touchpoint—not during it.

The agents who dominate in 2026 will be those who establish brand authority, master local SEO, and become the recommended expert in AI-powered search results. The opportunity is massive for agents willing to adapt now.

Take Action Today:

Don't let Google's AI build your brand for you with outdated information or incomplete data. Your future clients are already searching—make sure you're the agent they find.
