A few months ago Google announced that is is discontinuing their “Compare” service. The winding down affected the entire service including subsets like\u00a0car-insurance<\/a><\/strong>, credit card, and mortgage comparison tools that\u00a0it rolled out last year.<\/p>\n

“Despite people turning to Google for financial services information, the Google Compare service itself hasn\u2019t driven the success we hoped for,” the company wrote to its partners, in an email.\u00a0The original goal of the service\u00a0was to help users compare car insurance or other financial offerings as quickly and seamlessly as possible.<\/p>\n

While Google will always remain supreme in offering quick and relevant information\u00a0via its core business, it is hard for us as Independent\u00a0Agents to imagine\u00a0a world where an algorithm will ever effectively replace the expertise of a professional agent. Why? Here are a few reasons why an Independent Agent is better than a computer quoting you, or even a captive agent.<\/p>\n

Why Choose An Independent Agent<\/h2>\n

Multiple options<\/strong>\u00a0– since an independent agent represents a number of top insurance carriers, we are able to look for the best combination of price, coverage, and service.<\/p>\n

One-Stop shop<\/strong>\u00a0– With one call or visit, you have access to multiple lines of coverage for all your needs personal or business. Independent agents vary, but most offer a full range of home, auto, business, flood and other insurance products.<\/p>\n

The Customer is #1<\/strong>\u00a0– Our agency is our livelihood, and we deeply value the relationships we have with our clients.<\/p>\n

A client, not a number<\/strong>\u00a0– Most independent agencies are more concerned about the\u00a0quality of client, not quantity. PBIG, for example, is a family-owned & operated. You become part of our extended family when you choose us as your agent.<\/p>\n

We listen and understand your whole history –\u00a0<\/strong>A computer can not.<\/p>\n

Not All Agents Are The Same<\/h2>\n

Throughout our 11 years as a firm, we have stayed true to our roots as an agency that\u2019s locally owned, with a casual approach that delivers professional results. We aren\u2019t interested in growing into a mega-firm. We like having an intimate knowledge of our clients and value treating them like family. Like we\u2019ve said many times before, \u201cLet our family serve your family by\u00a0offering insurance advice and products to protect what matters most to you<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

We aren’t just a bunch of “Jake’s From Statefarm”.\u00a0Click here<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to understand what we mean by that.<\/p>\n

Let Us Help<\/h2>\n

Since Google compare has been killed off, let us get to know you and your situation. We will take an appropriate amount of time to understand your needs in order to get you the right product at the right price. We look forward to speaking with you!<\/p>\n
