Background

About Harris & Leib Insurance

Harris & Leib Insurance Brokers has been serving Maple Ridge, BC since 1952 — over seven decades as a trusted local insurance partner. Originally founded as Egan Insurance, the brokerage took on its current name in 1989 when Ken Leib became a partner. Today, Harris & Leib is part of the InsureBC network, which spans 80+ offices across BC and Alberta, giving them the carrier panels and product breadth of a much larger broker while keeping the personal, community-rooted service model that built the business. Their offering spans Home, Auto, Business, Boat, Travel, and Life insurance — plus a deep catalog of specialty coverages like Earthquake Deductible, Umbrella Liability, and Excess Strata.

The Challenge

The Challenge

For a brokerage with 70+ years of local trust, Harris & Leib's digital reality was a complete inversion of their offline reputation. They didn't have a functional website that reflected the brand, there was no way for customers to reach them online beyond a phone call, and with no real site to optimize, they were effectively invisible across every commercial insurance search in their service area.

Execution Hurdles

Key Challenges We Conquered

01

No real website

Harris & Leib lacked a functional digital presence — no proper site for customers to discover the business, browse coverage, or understand who they were beyond a phone number and address.

02

No online way to reach them

There were no lead capture forms, no online quote flow, and no digital contact mechanism — every prospect who Googled "home insurance Maple Ridge" had no path from a search result to a conversation.

03

Zero SEO foundation

With no real site or content to rank, the brokerage was invisible across local insurance queries running constantly across Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and the Tri-Cities.
