The challenge
Stanhope Insurance struggled to compete with larger brokers and comparison sites. Their niche offerings held strong value, yet weak targeting led to high CPCs and costly acquisitions that stalled growth.
Google’s E‑A‑T demands added pressure to prove credibility. Their regulation‑heavy service pages delivered information but created a difficult user experience, leaving prospects overloaded and lowering conversions. Paid ad traffic brought volume, but impact stayed limited.
Stanhope needed a strategy that balanced compliance with E‑A‑T, reduced CPA, and lifted media ROI. I refined paid search campaigns and improved the on-site user experience to support expansion into new insurance products.
