Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- Driving 220k monthly organic visits, valued at $2.6m in equivalent ad spend.
- Brand and navigational searches (e.g., "trustage", "trustage login") account for over 25% of your traffic, indicating strong brand recognition and an existing customer base.
- Your "mortgage calculator" tool is a standout success, capturing 11% of all traffic from a single high-volume, non-branded keyword.
Growth Opportunity
- The market leader generates over 2.5x your traffic (568k visits), highlighting a significant addressable market you can capture.
- High-value, non-branded keywords like "car insurance" and "home insurance" are underperforming despite high search volume, presenting a clear opportunity to improve rankings for substantial traffic gains.
- Your content hub (
/learn/) and Authority Score of 47 provide a proven foundation to expand your reach for both informational and commercial search terms.
Assessment
You have a solid performance baseline with clear paths for meaningful traffic growth. The data points to a major opportunity in systematically improving rankings for high-intent, bottom-funnel insurance keywords where you already have a foothold. AirOps can help you scale the content and optimization efforts required to capture this available market share.
Competition at a Glance
An analysis of 2 direct competitors shows that trustage.com currently ranks 2nd in organic search performance. The site generates 220,135 monthly organic visits from 57,005 ranking keywords.
The market leader, Mutual of Omaha, generates 568,521 monthly organic visits and ranks for 128,795 keywords. This represents a substantial gap in market visibility, with the top competitor attracting over 2.5 times more organic traffic than trustage.com.
This data reveals a significant performance gap between trustage.com and the top position in the market. The leading competitor's success in capturing a much larger audience, supported by a keyword footprint more than double the size of ours, indicates a clear opportunity to close this gap and increase market share.
Opportunity Kickstarters
Here are your content opportunities, tailored to your domain's strengths. These are starting points for strategic plays that can grow into major traffic drivers in your market. Connect with our team to see the full traffic potential and activate these plays.
Create a static page for every U.S. ZIP code showing average insurance costs and local coverage gaps. This play captures ultra-local, high-intent search traffic by providing data no competitor offers at this scale.
Example Keywords
- average life insurance cost 30318
- car insurance rates 75201
- renters insurance average 10011
- insurance coverage gap in 60614
Rationale
Consumers want to know what insurance costs in their specific neighborhood, not just their state. By providing ZIP-code level premium estimates, TruStage can intercept users at the final stages of their research and offer a hyper-relevant quote.
Topical Authority
As the first national carrier to publish this granular data, TruStage would establish unparalleled authority on local insurance pricing. This play leverages their existing quoting engine, turning internal pricing data into a massive SEO asset.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize the internal quoting microservice for ZIP-level premium data for life, auto, and renters insurance. This can be blended with public U.S. Census data on uninsured rates to add a unique "coverage gap" angle.
Estimated Number of Pages
~100,000 (33,000 ZIP codes × 3 product lines)
Generate pages for every U.S. county that match life insurance coverage amounts to local median home prices. This play directly connects the major life event of buying a home with the need for mortgage protection insurance.
Example Keywords
- life insurance to cover 400k mortgage
- mortgage protection insurance Cook County
- mortgage payoff life insurance calculator
- how much life insurance for my mortgage
Rationale
Homebuyers are a prime audience for life insurance, yet few resources directly link mortgage debt to a specific coverage amount. These pages solve a complex financial question with a simple, localized answer, capturing high-intent traffic.
Topical Authority
TruStage already ranks for a generic mortgage calculator. Expanding this authority into county-level mortgage protection content is a natural and defensible progression, positioning them as the expert in protecting a family's largest asset.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage the existing amortization calculator logic and the internal quoting API. This data will be combined with external county-level median home price data from sources like the FHFA or Zillow's API.
Estimated Number of Pages
~12,800 (3,200 U.S. counties × 4 home-price tiers)
Develop dedicated SEO landing pages for every U.S. credit union that partners with TruStage. This strategy captures high-trust, high-intent traffic from credit union members searching for the insurance products their institution offers.
Example Keywords
- {credit union name} life insurance
- {credit union name} insurance quote
- insurance offered by {credit union name}
- {credit union name} auto insurance program
Rationale
Credit union members are actively searching for insurance through their trusted financial institution. By creating a dedicated page for each partner, TruStage can meet this demand directly, leveraging the partner's brand equity to drive conversions.
Topical Authority
TruStage's core business is built on these partnerships, giving them unrivaled and exclusive authority. No competitor can replicate this play, as the relationship between TruStage and the credit unions is proprietary.
Internal Data Sources
Use the master partner list from the company's CRM, which includes credit union names, locations, and member counts. This can be enriched with partner-approved branding and product-specific disclaimers.
Estimated Number of Pages
~6,000 (One page for every partner credit union, with potential variants per product)
Transform complex insurance regulations into clear, SEO-friendly content by creating a page for every major statute in every state. This play establishes TruStage as the definitive authority on the legal nuances of insurance.
Example Keywords
- suicide clause life insurance {state}
- contestability period {state}
- life insurance taxable in {state}
- spouse consent rule for life insurance {state}
Rationale
Consumers and even financial advisors frequently search for answers to complex legal insurance questions. These SERPs are often filled with unreliable forum posts; by providing clear, authoritative answers, TruStage can capture valuable traffic and build immense trust.
Topical Authority
This strategy turns a cost center (the legal and compliance department) into a powerful SEO engine. By publishing its internal knowledge base of state-by-state regulations, TruStage can create a content moat that is nearly impossible for competitors to replicate.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage the internal compliance and legal wiki, which contains detailed information on statutes, waiting periods, and tax rules for all 51 jurisdictions. This data can be kept current using an external regulatory data feed.
Estimated Number of Pages
~3,060 (60 key regulatory topics × 51 jurisdictions)
Build a library of anonymized case studies detailing real insurance claim payouts for various incidents. This radical transparency builds unparalleled trust and answers the consumer's ultimate question: "Will you actually pay?"
Example Keywords
- life insurance payout heart attack example
- car totaled payout example
- renters insurance theft claim amount
- accidental death claim timeline
Rationale
The biggest fear for an insurance buyer is that their claim won't be paid. By proactively showcasing real payout timelines and amounts, TruStage can demystify the claims process and build a level of trust that marketing copy alone cannot achieve.
Topical Authority
This play leverages proprietary data that only an insurance carrier possesses. Affiliate sites and competitors can only speak in hypotheticals; TruStage can provide concrete, historical facts, establishing ultimate authority on the claims process.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize the anonymized, aggregated historical claims database. Key data points include the incident type, payout amount, and the time from claim submission to settlement, which can be presented as narrative case studies.
Estimated Number of Pages
~360 (120 common incidents × 3 claim size examples)
Improvements Summary
Expand and restructure AD&D insurance content cluster to target high-value keywords and address both informational and transactional search intent. Add depth, rich media, structured data, and internal linking to improve rankings and user engagement.
Improvements Details
Rewrite and expand the product and comparison pages with keyword-rich H2s, payout calculators, infographics, and FAQ schema. Create new content such as a pillar guide, payout chart blog, and video explainer targeting queries like 'ad&d insurance benefits' and 'dismemberment insurance payout.' Strengthen internal linking from support and high-authority pages, and update technical SEO elements including title tags, meta descriptions, and schema markup.
Improvements Rationale
These improvements address content gaps and low topical authority that are limiting rankings for core and long-tail AD&D insurance queries. By providing comprehensive, well-structured content and improving technical SEO, the site can capture more organic traffic, improve user experience, and increase quote conversions. Targeting both research and purchase-stage queries ensures the content meets the full spectrum of user intent.
