31 Engaging Facebook Posts for Insurance Agents That Actually Generate Leads

Your Facebook posts get 3 likes (two from your spouse and one from your mom). Meanwhile, your competitor is booking appointments from social media weekly.

The harsh truth: Most insurance agents post the same boring content. Policy updates. Rate changes. Generic "Call us today!" posts. Zero engagement, zero leads.

Why Most Insurance Posts Fail (And How to Fix It)

The 3 Fatal Mistakes

❌ Mistake #1: Selling Before Building Trust

• Posting only about rates and coverage
• Every post is a pitch
• No value outside of "buy insurance"

❌ Mistake #2: Using Insurance Jargon

• "Comprehensive vs. collision coverage"
• "Riders, exclusions, and deductibles"
• Nobody understands (or cares)

❌ Mistake #3: No Personality

• Corporate stock photos
• Generic messaging
• Could be any insurance agent anywhere

The Winning Formula

✅ The 70-20-10 Rule for Insurance Agents:

• 70% Education & Value - Help people understand insurance in simple terms
• 20% Engagement & Community - Build relationships and trust
• 10% Promotion - Soft CTAs and offers

31 Facebook Post Ideas for Insurance Agents

Post #1: Myth-Busting

Insurance Myth: "Red cars cost more to insure"

The Truth: Your car's color has ZERO impact on your insurance rate.

What DOES affect your rate:
✅ Make and model
✅ Your driving record
✅ Where you live
✅ Your credit score

What other insurance myths have you heard? 👇

Post #2: Simple Explainer

Let me explain deductibles in the simplest way possible:

Your deductible = What you pay BEFORE insurance kicks in

Example:
• $5,000 claim
• $1,000 deductible
• You pay: $1,000
• Insurance pays: $4,000

Higher deductible = Lower monthly premium
Lower deductible = Higher monthly premium

Post #3: Seasonal Tips

🌧️ SPRING STORM SEASON IS HERE

3 things to do BEFORE the next storm:

1. Document your belongings (take photos/videos)
2. Review your coverage limits (are they still accurate?)
3. Know your deductible (can you afford it if you need to file?)

Bonus: Most home policies DON'T cover flood damage.
Need flood insurance? Let's chat.

Post #4: Cost-Saving Hack

💰 Insurance Discount You're Probably Missing:

Bundling your home + auto can save you 15-25% on BOTH policies.

Real example from last week:
Client was paying:
• $1,200/year auto
• $900/year home
• Total: $2,100

After bundling:
• Total: $1,575
• SAVED: $525/year

Already bundled? Tag someone who isn't! ⬇️

Post #10: Personal Story

Why I became an insurance agent:

When I was 23, my apartment flooded while I was on vacation.
$12,000 in damage. I didn't have renters insurance.

I learned the hard way that "it won't happen to me" is a
terrible strategy.

Now I help people avoid the mistakes I made.

Post #13: Common Mistake Alert

⚠️ Mistake I see all the time:

Homeowners assuming their policy covers [common exclusion like
flood damage, foundation issues, or earthquake damage].

It usually doesn't.

The fix? A quick 10-minute policy review to find gaps BEFORE
you need to file a claim.

Want me to review yours? Comment "REVIEW" and I'll DM you.

Post #14: Life Event Reminder

Just bought a new car? 🚗

You have 30 days to add it to your policy, BUT...

You should call BEFORE you drive it off the lot.

Why? If you have an accident during those 30 days without
proper coverage, you could be stuck with the bill.

Bought a car recently? Let's make sure you're covered. DM me!

Post #15: Target Specific Audience

Attention first-time homebuyers! 🏡

Your lender requires home insurance, but here's what they
DON'T tell you:

❌ The minimum coverage might not be enough
❌ You need separate flood insurance in many areas
❌ Your belongings aren't automatically covered

I offer free policy reviews for new homeowners.

Closing soon? Let's chat! Comment "HOME" below.

Post #16: Urgency Post

Hurricane season starts in 8 weeks. 🌀

If you need to add coverage, DO IT NOW.

Why? Most policies have a 30-day waiting period.

If you wait until there's a named storm, it's too late.

Florida homeowners: When did you last review your hurricane
coverage? Let's make sure you're protected.

Category 5: Testimonial & Social Proof Posts

Post #17: Client Success Story

Real story from last month:

Client's basement flooded. $18,000 in damage.

Because we reviewed her policy last year and increased coverage,
she was fully protected. Out-of-pocket cost: Just her $1,000
deductible.

This is why policy reviews matter.

When was YOUR last review? If it's been over a year, let's talk.

5. Follow your carrier's social media guidelines

When in doubt, check with your compliance department.
