Insurance Broker Website Design for Melbourne Businesses

Small business owner in Preston needs insurance. They search "business insurance broker Melbourne" on Google. Six brokers show up. Three have clear websites explaining what they do and how they help. Three have confusing sites that don't explain the difference between a broker and a direct insurer.

Who gets the enquiry? The brokers who make it easy to understand their value.

Why insurance brokers lose clients online

Most people don't understand what insurance brokers do. They think you sell insurance like AAMI or NRMA. If your website doesn't immediately clarify that you compare policies across multiple insurers, you lose them.

Common website problems that cost insurance brokers clients:

• Value proposition unclear — why use a broker instead of going direct?
• Insurance types not listed — do you do home insurance? Business? Cyber? Professional indemnity?
• No broker bio — who are you? What's your experience in insurance?
• No explanation of the process — how does working with a broker actually work?
• Can't get a quote or book a consult online — have to call during business hours

The insurance brokers getting consistent new clients are the ones educating through their website. They explain the broker advantage, list their insurance types clearly, and make quote requests easy.

What an insurance broker website needs

Insurance broker websites should educate first, sell second. Most visitors don't understand the broker model — teach them.

Broker vs direct insurer explained. Right on the homepage. "We compare policies from 15+ insurers to find you the best coverage at the best price. You don't pay extra — insurers pay us." One paragraph that clarifies your value immediately.

Insurance types clearly listed. Business insurance. Landlord insurance. Professional indemnity. Public liability. Cyber insurance. Home and contents. Car and motor fleet. Each type gets a dedicated page explaining what's covered and who needs it.

Industry specialisation highlighted. Do you mainly work with tradies? Medical professionals? Retail businesses? Hospitality? Make that clear. Clients prefer brokers who understand their industry risks.

How the process works. Step-by-step. "1. Tell us about your business. 2. We compare policies from 15+ insurers. 3. We present your top options with our recommendation. 4. You choose, we handle the paperwork." Removes mystery, reduces friction.

Online quote request form. Simple form: business type, industry, coverage needed, contact details. Let people submit enquiries 24/7 instead of only during business hours.

Broker credentials and experience. AFSL number. Years in insurance. Professional memberships (NIBA, IBNA). Clients need to know you're legitimate and experienced.
