How much does an insurance agency website cost?
With Theo, the site and hosting are $29.99 a month on Basic, and the first build is free before any plan. Starter is $69.99 a month, free for the first 30 days, and adds the weekly search work; Pro is $129.99 a month with more weekly pages and read-only site code access. Beyond the plan price, the paid extras are top-up credits, a domain bought through Theo and the optional backlink packages in the Boost checklist. The website cost guide covers what design shops charge, and pricing explains what a chat credit is.
How long until the site is live?
The first preview is usually ready in minutes. After that the calendar belongs to the agency: read the pages as a client would, send changes in chat, collect headshots, publish when it reads right. The domain moves when you say so, and the old site stays up until the registrar's records update, usually within a few hours.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The coverage pages, bios, office photos and the site itself are yours; Theo hosts them. If you sell the book, you pass the site along by copying the site and images to wherever the buyer hosts, and on Pro the code is also readable through a read-only GitHub connection.
Can I cancel?
Any month, with no term contract. If you sign up before the January renewals and decide in April that referrals are enough, you cancel from the account; the confirmation shows the date the subscription ends, and the site stays live until then so you can copy it first.
Is Theo an insurance website builder?
Not in the drag-and-drop sense. There is no editor to learn and no template to pick: you describe the agency, Theo writes and lays out the pages, and changes happen by typing them ('add a flood page under home', 'put the claims number in the header'). A builder gives you the tools and the weekends; Theo gives you the site and, on Starter and Pro, the weekly search work.
Will the site bring in quote requests?
Google decides rankings, and Theo does not promise one. What Theo does on Starter and Pro is the work behind quote requests over months: a page for each line and each town, built so the agency can show for 'commercial auto insurance' in its county and not only for its own name, plus the technical fixes and Search Console submissions that get those pages read. In Theo's audit of 5,974 small business websites, 48 percent of the 4,027 sites with search data got an estimated zero visitors a month from Google search. If the agency has a site today, the free audit shows what it gets from Google search now, with no login, and the guide to getting on Google explains each step.
Can the site quote, bind or take premium payments?
No. Quoting and binding stay in the rater and the carrier portals, premium payments go to each carrier's billing page, and the site links to all of them. The 'Get a quote' button opens the rater's quote page and the service page links the management system's client portal; each keeps its own logins, data and payments.
Can I see insurance agency websites Theo has built?
The examples page shows demo sites Theo built to show the shape; the CPA firm demo is the closest to an agency, with services for individuals and businesses, a secure portal link and a team page with credentials, which an agency site swaps for coverage lines, the rater link and producer licenses. Live customer sites in insurance are shared on request, where the owner has agreed to it. The quickest way to see your own is the free first build.
