Our take
Succession Marketing is built around paid search for auto and home agencies, with local SEO, reviews and social posts around it. The monthly fee starts at $1,980 and ad spend is paid on top.
It fits a captive or independent personal lines agency, such as a State Farm or Allstate office, with $3,000 or more a month for ads.
The contract term and who owns the ad accounts aren't public, so settle both before you start.
Pros
- A published starting price
- Says it takes no cut of your ad spend
- Focused on auto and home agencies, including captive offices
- Says you deal directly with the people running your campaigns
Cons
- Works best with $3,000 or more a month in ad spend on top of the fee
- No public contract term or notice period
- Ad account and tracking number ownership isn't spelled out
- No email or text follow-up

Pricing and ad spend
- How it's priced
- A monthly fee from $1,980, plus ad spend
- Starting price
- $1,980 a month
- Ad spend
- On top of the fee. Succession Marketing says it doesn't profit from it
- Suggested ad budget
- $3,000 or more a month
Plan on about $5,000 a month all in. The starting fee plus the suggested ad budget comes to roughly that before any setup charge. Ask whether a setup fee applies.
Price as of October 2026 from Succession Marketing's insurance booking page.
Contract and cancellation
Succession Marketing doesn't publish a term, notice period or exit terms. It says that if call volume and lead flow don't improve in a meaningful way, it keeps working until they do.
Get the term and the notice period in writing before you sign.
Who owns what when you leave
Ownership of the ad accounts isn't covered on the site. Ask for the Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and Facebook accounts and the call tracking numbers to be set up under your agency with admin access, so they stay with you if you leave.
