Prepared for Jamon Sellman

Sellman Insurance Group Digital Partnership

A new website, a working chatbot, and a partner you can actually reach. Built for a three-generation Champaign County agency that already does the hard part right.

18+ page website24/7 AI employeeLocal search cleanupRapid page speed

Keep the soul of Sellman. Replace the platform underneath it.

The current site is not a disaster. It has the team photo, the video, the 1947 family story, the carrier line-up and the quote paths. The problem is that the best parts are buried, and the site does not match the trust people already feel in person.

Keep

What already works

The team, the local history, the carrier wall, Nationwide Express, Safeco Now and the multi-carrier quote path.

Fix

What is holding it back

Weebly limits, generic copy, no local landing-page structure, weak review visibility and old listings with inconsistent business details.

Build

What comes next

A fast 18+ page website, a real AI employee, local search cleanup and a simple retainer with one person to call.

The business has more trust than the website currently captures.

Sellman already has the foundation. The current site is not using it.

  • Built on Weebly, which limits schema, page speed and design control.
  • Service pages use generic insurance-explainer copy instead of Sellman’s voice.
  • Sellman already has strong local visibility. The site needs stronger service and location pages to turn that visibility into quote calls.
  • 64 Google reviews are useful proof, but they are not surfaced strongly enough on the site.
  • Some directory listings still show outdated names or address information, which can confuse local search and AI results.
Fresh Sellman website preview screenshot

Working preview direction, kept clean and local instead of generic agency-template.

This is only a live homepage mockup, not a final locked-in design. We can change the layout, photos, copy, sections, colors and calls to action after you see what feels right.

Three visible moves in the first two weeks.

01. Modern site direction

Team photo and video pulled forward, 1947 legacy made obvious, mobile quote paths treated like primary actions.

02. Chatbot flow mapped

Dec page requests, RV/new-vehicle quotes, claims, quote requests and after-hours capture routed to the right place.

03. Local trust cleanup starts

Review campaign and citation cleanup can run while the site is being finalized, so momentum does not wait for launch day.

An 18+ page site, built to rank and convert.

This is not a five-page brochure with a nicer font. Each page has a job: rank, answer, prove trust or route a quote.

The ranking work should not be hidden in a footnote.

  • Custom copy in Sellman’s voice, not template insurance prose.
  • FAQ blocks with schema so Google and AI search can read the answers.
  • LocalBusiness, InsuranceAgency, FAQ and breadcrumb schema.
  • Rapid page speed, because fast websites convert better and speed is one of Google’s ranking factors.
  • 301 redirects from old Weebly URLs so existing search value is protected.
  • Analytics, Search Console and Clarity so you can see what is working.

Built to feel instant.

Fast load times make the site feel more professional, keep people from bouncing on mobile and support local SEO.

Speed target

Goal: lightweight pages, compressed images, clean code and fast mobile loading.

A 24/7 AI employee, like a new hire for a fraction of the cost.

Someone needs their dec page. Someone just bought an RV. Someone is asking about a claim. Three different conversations, three different routes to specialized employees who know how to handle each request. It can send push notifications to you or specific team members, based on how you want requests handled.

Dec page request

Collect the customer details and route it to the service inbox.

New vehicle, RV, boat or motorcycle

Capture the intake details and route the quote request to personal lines.

Claim help

Show carrier-specific claim links plus the option to call Sellman directly.

After-hours capture

Answer common questions, collect info and queue the callback while the office is closed.

Fix the signals around the website.

  • 350+ directory citation cleanup for name, address, phone and website consistency.
  • Review campaign setup with QR card, email/SMS templates and a tracker.
  • Google Business Profile polish and optional monthly posting.
  • Local resource articles that answer real Champaign County insurance questions.

Managed local SEO for Google Maps and local search.

If you want the website launch to turn into a long-term local ranking push, this is the optional monthly growth layer. Harrigan Creative handles the work and keeps the focus on Google Business Profile visibility, Maps rankings, reviews, local pages and reporting.

Drive-time trade area

Your trade area, measured in drive time.

Most ranking tools draw a flat circle around the office and call it your market. Your customers don't pick an agency that way. They pick by how far they would drive. We map your true trade area in three drive-time zones, then point the local work at the ring with the most room to grow: outside Champaign County, into Logan County, Clark County and Springfield.

  • Primary, about 5 minutes out. Urbana core, where most of your customers already live.
  • Secondary, about 10 minutes. The rest of Champaign County. Solid ground, mostly people who already know you.
  • Growth, 15 to 25 minutes. Logan County, Clark County and Springfield, where there is room to win new business.
Built to grow Sellman past its home county.

Competitor intelligenceWe compare the agencies outranking you against 250+ Google signals every week, so you can see why you trail and where to close the gap on reviews, photos, posts and categories.
Google Business Profile optimizationServices, descriptions, categories, Q&A, photos and review responses kept complete and consistent, the signals Google leans on most for Maps.
Content that feeds rankingsRegular posts and images published to your Google profile, with Facebook and Instagram optional. The social posts also get indexed by Google, so they add extra ranking surface.
Growth location pagesDedicated pages for nearby towns and counties, so Sellman shows up for searches outside its home base where competitors are thinner.
Reviews and reputationReview link and QR flow, response help, and support for disputing unfair reviews under Google's removal rules.
Citation cleanup includedName, address, phone and website made consistent across the directories that local search and AI results read from.

Two monthly resource articles

$200/mo

Built carefully for an insurance agency.

Sellman owns the assets

Built to make Sellman easier to find, trust and contact.

A custom website, clearer local pages and a 24/7 employee that helps route the right question to the right specialized person.
