Medicare Agent Surveys: The American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance conducts online surveys. Survey participants are agents and brokers who are listed on the Association’s National Medicare Agent Directory. As a result, these tend to be more experienced, more tenured agents.
REPORTERS AND EDITORS: If you would like additional information, please call Jesse Slome, director of the Association at 818-597-3205.
AGENTS NOT LISTED ON THE DIRECTORY: Every year more consumers do a Google search for “Medicare agents near me”. When they do, the Association’s website tends to be the first ‘organic’ listing (under the paid ads). For a low, 1-time charge, you can add your information to the directory.

Consider adding your name to the Association’s directory listing local Medicare insurance agents. Why? Because in 2021, some 80,000 consumers accessed the Association’s website looking for a local Medicare agent.
We do NOT buy advertisements on Google or Yahoo. If we did, we would be in the lead sales business.
But we do know that agents want someone local that they can trust. Someone they can call. Maybe even meet with in person.
Consumers who are doing serious online searches find the Association’s directory. And, the number increases every year. Website traffic in 2021 increased 40% compared to 2020.
A 2-year listing is priced so that just one sale should cover the listing price. And, if you read the testimonials from listed agents, you’ll see that agents can get more than one lead and sale.
