How do I get my own life insurance leads instead of buying them from a lead vendor?
Run ads in your own name, from your own ad account, and send each lead to your own CRM. Ados builds lead ads for the products you write, such as mortgage protection or term life, under Meta's financial products category, with consent wording that names your agency. The leads come only to you, are never shared or resold, and you can see what each one cost.
How much should an insurance agent spend on Facebook lead ads to start?
Base it on your commission on an average policy, how often a fresh lead becomes a sale for you, and how many new leads you can contact quickly each day. Start in the states you are licensed in with one product, set a daily budget you can hold for a few weeks so the campaign can learn, and judge it on booked appointments and written policies, not on cost per lead alone. Raise spend only on the ads that turn into appointments. Ad spend is paid to Meta or Google from your own ad account.
What Run My Ads itself costs: Autopilot is $49 every 30 days; Done For You is $997 every 30 days plus a one-time $297 setup. Ad spend is on top and is not a Run My Ads fee. Big Spender: a custom plan for big budgets, priced on a call. Book one at runmyads.com/intro. See pricing
What is Meta's special ad category for financial products and does it apply to insurance ads?
Yes, it applies: Meta requires ads for insurance offered to people in the US to run under the financial products and services special ad category. That category removes targeting by age, gender and ZIP code, sets a wider minimum location radius, limits detailed interests and does not offer lookalikes built on demographics. Ados sets it on every insurance campaign, so the offer and the creative find the right people instead of the targeting.
Can AI run Facebook lead ads for an insurance agency?
Yes. Ados is an AI that writes, launches and adjusts Facebook, Instagram and Google ads for your agency inside the spend limit you set, and sends each lead to your CRM. It does not contact the leads and it does not sell them; you or your team do the follow-up. You approve every ad, and each ad's wording is checked for insurance wording the ad platforms are likely to reject, such as program, approval and price lines, before you see it.
What can an insurance ad say without breaking state advertising rules?
It can explain what a policy does, say you are a licensed independent agent who compares several companies, and invite people to request a quote. It should not imply a government connection or program, promise approval or a price, use Medicare wording for a product that is not a Medicare plan, or run in states where you are not licensed. Ados writes inside those limits and flags drafts that cross them; your state insurance department's rules still apply to you.
