Meet Our Awesome Team
We get the question all the time — "Chris, how are you different/better than XYZ website company?" And the answer is quite simple. The differentiating factor for us is our team. Our people, personality, and processes. The truth is, a lot of people can build you a decent website. But not everyone knows your industry like we do, and truly cares about your success and business like we do. We are a team of real people just like you, who wake up with ideas in the middle of the night, and who truly want to do right by our clients each and every day we come to work.

Stephanie, from Smyrna Beach, FL, is AE's fun loving website wizard! She handles a majority of our client projects, and works to build the most customized website for each agency. Stephanie has a TON of experience in design and wire-framing and enjoys sipping coffee on the beach and spending quality time with her husband and kids in sunny Florida!
Patrick Eustis
Operations Director & Lead Support

A quick note about our industry experience…
Agency Experience
I helped launch a scratch agency in 2013 that I eventually exited from in 2019. I served many roles for the agency and our parent company (financial services firm) including Chief Marketing Officer, Producer, and Operating Partner. We sold P&C, L&H, Medicare, and Group Benefits.
Design & Development
The team behind Advisor Evolved has extensive experience & training across many digital verticals including visual communications, sale psychology training, CRO (conversion rate optimization), UI/UX design, and multi-platform performance marketing on both Google & Facebook.
10+ Years Serving Agencies
We serve many different roles for agencies that go far beyond just being their web developer. At the end of the day, we are business growth consultants that help our clients truly move the dial in their agency. We love diving deep into an agency, and helping them solve their growth problems.
We're also the preferred website vendor for some of the industry's largest insurance carriers, associations, and groups. SIAA, Trusted Choice, IAOA, Keystone, Integra, Safeco, Indium, are just to name a few. We are also a boot-strapped, self-funded company with no outside investors or silent partners trying to control what we do. Like you, we are truly independent!
Independent Agencies across the country, and Canada & UK, 😍LOVE Advisor Evolved!

2

3
Development
Using the latest development technologies, we build you a fully responsive and highly optimized website that is built specifically for insurance consumers. More on this shortly.
Check Out Some Recent Client Projects
Our goal with each and every customer is to build a website that aligns with their personality, the way they do business, and most of all, their prospective and existing customers. Websites aren't just for generating new leads. They fulfill many different needs for an agency. From client servicing, educating clients, renewal processes and integrating with other tools you use, your website is quite literally the hub of your business in so many ways. We could show you hundreds of unique designs we've built through the years, but here are a select few we've launched recently to give you an idea of what's possible.
The one thing you're hopefully taking away here is, all of these sites are unique & different, and all of the agencies are very different. Whether it be a commercial focused agency in California, a personal lines agency in Florida, life & health, Medicare, etc., we can build it out.
Do you offer unique technology to your clients such as a mobile app, customer policy dashboards, ePay, or something else? We can play that up on the site too. Maybe you offer a unique product (or carrier) that few other agencies have access to. We can call attention to that as well.
When it comes to building these sites, its really up to your imagination (or ours, if you don't know what you want or need), and of course we are always trying to deliver the most customized site possible, based on the agency.
SEO Optimized Platform
We get questions about SEO every day, and believe me when I tell you, no one knows SEO more than Advisor Evolved. With us, you won't have to ever hire a separate digital marketing team, or SEO agency to help your website perform. It's all here, in-house, with one singular point of contact.
1
Locally Optimized
Each website we build is optimized for local search queries, which is where 90%+ of your traffic will come from anyway.
2
On-Page Optimization
We optimize your website's content, structure, and metadata to ensure it's easily crawl-able and indexable by search engines.
3
Schema Markup
This special micro-code gives Google additional data it needs to understand more about your website.
4
Page Speed
Because or our lightweight code base and optimization engine, your website will be faster than 95% of other websites.
Here's how we stack up against some other industry website providers…
Here are 4 different website providers who often claim to be the best website provider for insurance agencies. You will see below that Advisor Evolved is head & shoulders above the rest.
Competitor 1
Competitor 2
Competitor 3
Competitor 4
All 4 competitors are failing Google's Core Web Vitals. That's a major problem for both SEO & Conversion Rate. 3 of the 4 competitor sites are also missing critical security headers which can lead to exploits and other security issues. Missing security headers could potentially become and E&O claim.
Here's how AE sites perform…
We hear a lot of competitors saying this and saying that, but when the rubber meets the road, no one, and I mean no one builds more performant, optimized websites than Advisor Evolved. The proof is in the pudding. Fancy websites might look "cool", but the data shows — they don't convert. With Advisor Evolved, you'll have a website that both Google, and insurance consumers LOVE!
When it comes to mission-critical security, performance, and compliant website development, we are in a league of our own, while other providers don't know what they don't know about any of the above.
When you are evaluating websites & website developers you cannot make your decision solely on how the website looks on the front end. There are a lot of cool and flashy looking websites with wiz-bang animations that have major performance & security issues. Back-end security & front-end performance far outweigh visual features.

Want to get your project started?
If you're now confident that we'll be a good partner for your agency's website and/or digital marketing needs, simply place your order on our website in a matter of seconds and our onboarding team will reach out to get the process started for you!
We do our absolute best to deliver a complete site within 30 business days of the date you initially place your order. Of course the turnaround time also depends on the client. Sometimes it takes longer depending on the project, but roughly 90% of the time, we're able to hit that mark.
Website Pricing — $150/mo (after $1800 setup fee)
Our pricing structure is pretty straightforward. We charge a one-time setup/deposit fee of $1800, then its $150/mo thereafter. We are delivering a product that would ultimately cost close to $15,000 when you factor in all the man-hours, content, designing the site, developing the site, paid plugins, SEO optimization, etc. We are combining the cost of many different people & processes into one affordable monthly payment. It only takes a few new sales per year to break even, and keep in mind, this is a tax write off.
Here's what's included with your website
As we mention on our FAQ, the setup fee you pay (and ongoing monthly cost) covers the cost of us building out, maintaining, and hosting your new website, as well as optimizing the entire website for SEO. The SEO by itself is worth the cost of admission, but there is A LOT included in the cost.
Most importantly, it covers webmaster support, so if you need help with something or run into an issue, you can email our team (usually Patrick) for help. Did you know there are webmaster services out there that actually charge more than we charge, JUST for support services (no website included).
Here is a quick list of some of the things included (click green tab below to reveal a more detailed list):
Complete designANDbuild-out of the website ($15,000+ value)
Enterprise-grade Cloud VPS hosting, including daily backups and server-side caching ($99/mo value)
Unlimited pages, blogs, forms, landing pages, etc. (unlike others, we do not cap or limit your content in any way)
Form builder w/pre-built forms ready to go ($99/mo+ value compared to JotForm, Formstack, WuFoo, Cognito Forms, etc. )
Landing page builder w/pre-built landing pages ready to go ($199/mo+ value compared to ClickFunnels, UnBounce, etc.)
Pre-written, SEO optimized product pages ($100 per-page value when factoring in editing + SEO optimizations)
Stock images ($29/mo+ value compared to Adobe Stock, iStock, etc.)
Webmaster support ($199/mo+ value; there are companies who charge $350/mo for webmaster support alone)
Before & after your website goes live, if you want custom content pages, landing pages, forms, or other custom layouts, they will be charged separately outside of the initial setup fee. This means if you need/ask for additional content/pages you will likely pay more than the setup fee. We handle these requests on a case by case basis.
Alternatively, we have tutorial videos that show you exactly how to do everything you’d want to do with regards to adding new pages, blogs, forms and more, so if you’d rather do it yourself or delegate it to someone in your agency, you have the freedom and access to do that at no additional charge! Our platform is extremely user friendly!
Optional Website Add-Ons & Services (Modular)
Where some website providers have a super high fixed cost ($500-$10k/mo), our platform is "modular". You can add/remove services as you need them. Want to juice up your leads for a year or two? Add Local Traffic Marketing in two seconds. Want to increase your close ratio and retention? Add PowerPack and completely dominate your local competitors.
⚡ PowerPack (QuoteVids) — No brainer @ $50/mo
PowerPack is the add-on that includes our game-changing QuoteVids tool. It also includes several other apps that plugin to your website that add additional functionality, like digital Case Study templates, social-proof pop-ups, floating YouTube shorts, and much more! If you sell just one or two QuoteVids quotes, it will more than cover the cost of your entire website year after year!
📊 Local Traffic Marketing (Lead Generation) — $350/mo - $1500/mo
There are a few different pricing options for LTM depending on the needs of the agency. Some agencies may already have an in-house staff member doing certain things, and don't need our full program, while others have no one, and need more hands-on support.
Local Traffic Marketing
We've been told by hundreds of agencies through the years, that they really need someone who can handle a higher level of marketing and technology for their agency. The truth is, most agency "marketing directors" have a very limited skillset. Sending out newsletters, and posting the occasional blog or Facebook post simply doesn't move the dial anymore. Local Traffic Marketing is the answer.
Local Traffic Marketing (continued)
Add an instant back-office performance marketing team to your agency
LTM is an optional add-on service that was designed specifically for agencies who need impactful marketing, but don't have the need or budget for a full-time role. With LTM you have your very own back-office marketing team, for a fraction of the cost of hiring a full or part time person. Here are just a few of the tasks we do for agencies:
Custom Content Creation
Facebook & Google Ads Lead Campaigns
Website Visitor Retargeting Campaigns
SEO & Social Media Content
Google Business Ranking
Advanced Analytics & Reporting
Higher Level of Website Support
Tech Stack Optimization & Automation
