Most performance measurement expects a conversion within days. Aparagon’s doesn’t have to.
Insurance involves a multi-step conversion process: a customer requests a quote, the carrier underwrites it, and only then does a policy bind. Weeks can pass between an ad click and a completed sale. Measurement built for a fast, single-session online conversion has almost nothing to show in that window, so an advertiser watching only for a finished sale can go months without a single data point confirming the campaign is working at all.
AMP doesn’t wait for the final sale to say something about a campaign. It tracks the full path a customer moves through, from early interest, to deeper engagement, to an eventual acquisition, so an advertiser has real evidence of a campaign working long before any policy is bound. No single stage proves a sale on its own. However, read together, and read over time as budget scales, they show a customer moving through the exact stages an insurance sale requires.
The advertiser has run the same life-event audiences — recent mover, household change, new car — since its very first month.
Monthly budget started at $1,000 in the first month and climbed to $4,000 by the fifth month, without ever swapping audiences.
Engagement further down the funnel was silent for the first three months, then appeared and nearly doubled the month after, as budget kept climbing.
This local insurance advertiser began with a $1,000 monthly budget against its three life-event audiences. Early-stage activity was holding roughly flat: 220 in month one, 119 in month two, 204 in month three, while the budget nearly doubled over the same stretch. Nothing deeper in the funnel had shown up yet, the expected shape for a multi-step conversion process that includes weeks of underwriting before any policy could bind.
By month four, with budget at nearly $2,000, deeper engagement appeared for the first time: 263 conversion events beyond the first stage. In month five, at $4,000 in budget, that measure nearly doubled to 477, with early-stage activity growing to a total of more than 1,300. Still missing is a bound policy, needing closed-loop data that meets AMP’s 100-conversion threshold, the next milestone.
