Key takeaways
  • Show credentials, registrations, services and how you're paid.
  • Financial content is regulated: avoid promised returns and include required disclosures.
  • Educational guides, privacy care and local SEO build trust and leads.

People choosing someone to advise them about insurance, investments or financial planning need to trust them deeply. A professional website helps establish that trust, but financial services are regulated, so content must be handled carefully.

What clients look for

  • Who you are, your qualifications and the registrations or licences relevant to your role
  • The services you offer: life, health and general insurance, retirement planning, tax planning, investment advice or distribution
  • How you work and how you're paid (fees, commissions), clearly explained
  • An easy, low-pressure way to book a conversation

Essential pages

  1. About: your background, credentials, registrations and approach
  2. Services: a page per service, written for clients rather than in product jargon
  3. How it works: the process from first call to ongoing reviews
  4. Resources: educational articles and calculators (with clear assumptions)
  5. Contact and booking: consultation form, phone, WhatsApp and office details

Compliance first

Insurance and investment advice are regulated, and the rules on what you can claim, how you describe products and what disclosures you must show depend on your registration and role. Before publishing:

  • Check content against the rules of your regulator and the companies you represent
  • Avoid promising returns or guaranteed outcomes
  • Include the disclosures and registration details required for your role
  • Be careful with testimonials, which may be restricted

When in doubt, have a compliance professional review the site.

Educational content builds trust

Plain-English guides on topics like "how much term insurance do I need?" or "health insurance for parents" attract searchers and show expertise. Keep them general and accurate, and update them when rules change.

Similar trust challenges apply to immigration and visa consultants.

Privacy and security

Clients may share sensitive financial information. Use HTTPS, collect minimal data through forms, and publish a clear privacy policy; see privacy policy basics.

Local and personal SEO

Similar principles apply to lawyers, CAs and consultants.
