More reviews for insurance agencies with AI
The best time to ask an insurance customer for a review is after you helped them: a smooth claim, a certificate delivered in time, a policy saved from lapsing. AI can send that short request and track replies. Do not offer gifts for reviews, and never discuss a customer’s policy or claim in a public reply.
Talk through your agency with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your insurance agency to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Ask after the help, not the sale
Buying a policy is not memorable. A claim handled well is. Time the ask a few days after the claim closes, when the relief is fresh.
Asking right after a premium increase is a bad idea. Pick moments of help, not moments of friction.
Replies stay private
Thank people without describing their coverage or claim. For a complaint, offer a call and take the details off-line.
Check the rules
Some states and carriers have rules on testimonials and on incentives. Review yours, and read what carriers say about using their names. This is a general note, not legal advice.
Keep a written policy on reviews so every staff member asks the same way.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
After a claim is paid, the customer gets a short note from you asking how it went and, if it went well, for a review.
A contractor you got a same-day certificate for leaves a review. You thank him without naming the job.
An unhappy review about a premium increase gets a reply explaining that you will call to review options.
The rules that apply, in their own words
“unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, are hereby declared unlawful.”
“It is an unfair or deceptive act or practice and a violation of this part for a business to write, create, or sell a consumer review”

Questions
Can I filter who I ask?
You can choose who to ask based on service outcomes. Do not hide complaints or discourage honest reviews.
Do I tell the carrier?
Check any agreements you have about marketing and carrier branding.
Can staff post reviews for the agency?
Reviews from staff or family are misleading and often against platform rules. Only real customers should review.
