Howard runs Life Pro — a UK life-insurance broker in one of the most cut-throat SERPs there is. When he came to us his site had around 10 ranking keywords. Four months later it has 2,000+, dominates AI Overviews for its category, and drives most of its traffic straight out of ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini.

Dominating the place buyers actually look now: AI.

Life insurance is being bought through AI. People ask ChatGPT and Claude "what's the best UK life insurance for over 40s" — and Life Pro is the answer. Howard now has 77+ keywords showing inside Google's AI Overviews alone, plus placements across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini.

Most of Howard's traffic isn't from Google. It's from AI.

If you look carefully at the keyword screenshot above, the majority of positions carry the ⭐ AI Overviews marker. That means when a prospect asks ChatGPT, Claude or Google's AI box about UK life insurance, Life Pro's content is the thing being quoted back to them. In a market this competitive — where household brands have been paying for SEO for two decades — a new broker is already the AI answer. That's the moat we've built Howard.

"You changed my business.
Honestly — you changed my life."

— Howard, Founder, Life Pro
