Insurance Lead Generation Site - Est 1999, Subscription Model, Growing in numbers
This site was built in 1999 and is one of the first Insurance directories of its kind. It generates revenue on a subscription revenue model where Insurance agents pay an annual fee to be listed on the site and promote their services. This is an extremely stable model and business as agents renew their subscriptions annually because of the volume of leads they receive from the site. There are all sorts of insurance agents on the site, from home insurance to car insurance to health insurance. The site is growing year over year generating $62K in profit in 2010 and $71K in profit in 2011 mainly from the subscription income.
The site has over 1450 pages (most are PR2 or higher) and is ranked high for key industry search terms. The site currently receives over 500 visitors a day through primarily organic search and direct traffic.
The daily lead volume the site generates ranges from 30-100 leads a day!
There is a huge opportunity here for a new owner to come in and grow this business right off the bat. Out of the 400,000 insurance agents in the US, only a few hundred are subscribing to the website. The owner currently has a list of 75,000 agents with full contact information and additional 25,000 with just email addresses that he sends emails to on a regular basis.
The owner is looking to move on from this venture as he has been operating this site for 13 years and it is time for a change.
