Are you a health insurance agent that has thought about running Google Ads to generate leads?
If that is a yes, let us explain how the G2 Certification and Google advertising are now connected for health insurance agents and agencies. Google has started to require anyone advertising health and medical insurance products to become certified as a licensed agent or business to sell on its Google platform. This is an additional annual fee that agents have to add to their other expenses, but it will benefit you in the long run.
