Introduction

Understanding which websites are dominating the search results for high-value Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance keywords can provide valuable insights into the competitive landscape. In this post, we highlight the top 20 websites ranking for the most valuable P&C insurance keywords in Canada, based on their search visibility. Search visibility is an aggregation of a domain’s rankings across various keywords, offering a clear picture of which sites are performing best in search engine results.

Methodology

To compile this list, we used data from SEMrush, a leading SEO tool. We analyzed the search visibility of domains ranking for the top P&C insurance keywords in Canada. Only websites with at least one keyword in the top 10 were included. The visibility percentage indicates how often a domain appears in search results for these keywords. We also considered the number of keywords in the top 10 and the average position of these rankings. Non-insurance websites, such as government sites like ontario.ca were excluded from this list. This report looks at Canada as a whole. You can find the provincial breakdown here.

Why This is Important

Ranking in the top 10 for these keywords helps insurance brokers and companies reach a highly targeted audience actively searching for insurance solutions. Increased brand visibility through high search rankings not only drives traffic, calls and brand visits but also reinforces brand recognition and trust among potential clients.

Highlights

  • TD Insurance dominates the top 50 keywords with a visibility level of 58.58%, the highest number of keywords in the top 10 (49), and the lowest average position at 4.4.
  • RBC Insurance and Intact Insurance follow, with visibility levels of 14.20% and 12.76%, respectively, showing strong presence in the market.
  • Regional players like BCAA, AMA, and CAASCO highlight their dominance in their respective provinces by appearing on this list.
