Stanhope Cooper Insurance Brokers Limited case study
About the client

A specialist insurance broker trusted for non-standard properties, high-value homes, and personal collections.

Stanhope Insurance is a specialist insurance broker, trusted by clients seeking cover for non-standard properties, high-value homes, and collections such as watches and fine jewelry. The company also provides life and private medical insurance.

With strong reputation in tailor-made services, Stanhope stood apart from typical comparison-site-driven products. Still, scalability faced limitations — high competition, rising CPA, and weak conversion paths.

i The challenge

Big-brand competition + E-A-T compliance + low CRO efficiency.

Stanhope Insurance struggled to compete against larger brokers and comparison sites. Despite strong niche offerings, campaigns lacked precise targeting, leading to high CPCs and costly acquisitions.

Google's E-A-T guidelines added pressure to prove credibility. Their regulatory-heavy service pages, while informative, created poor UX, leaving prospects overwhelmed and reducing conversions. Even paid traffic struggled to deliver meaningful results.

ii The solutions

Tighter PPC structure + on-site CRO testing + E-A-T compliance signals.

We executed a streamlined, integrated PPC + CRO approach. Paid search restructured into tightly segmented ad groups with keyword expansions and high-intent segmentation. A parallel CRO program introduced critical optimizations — updated CTAs, streamlined navigation, stronger review placements.

The outcome was a measurable uplift in quote request conversions through hero-banner reviews, jump-link navigation, and strategic CTA repositioning.
