The Keynote® Rankings for Auto Insurance Web Sites is part of a syndicated competitive intelligence program designed to benchmark and improve the performance of leading Web businesses.

By capturing customer feedback and behavior at the point of interaction with a site, and with accurate knowledge of their intent, Keynote is able to provide a complete understanding of their online experience and how it relates to business goals. This realistic and in-depth view of the customer experience links companies with their customers and prospective customers and helps them to truly understand what consumers think, how they behave—and why.

For the Keynote Rankings for Auto Insurance Web Sites, Keynote monitored over 1,500 consumers as they interacted with the following Web sites:

AIG

Allstate

American Family

Esurance

GEICO

Liberty Mutual

MetLife

Nationwide

Progressive

State Farm


The consumers were asked to pursue goals and provide their reactions across a number of areas of the site experience. They provided their reactions and answered questions while Keynote recorded their behavior and captured their responses using the proprietary Keynote customer experience methodology. More than 250 metrics were measured across each site.

Keynote then assessed the impact of the user’s experience through a range of indices and a driver analysis to better understand which sites delivered the best business outcomes, and what were the key drivers behind this success.

Best Sites

The overall Keynote Customer Experience Ranking is the highest-level score of customer experience and is based on an aggregate score of site performance across all 250 customer experience metrics measured in the study. The overall ranking shows which sites are most successful in terms of satisfying customers, driving customer acquisition, and supporting the company’s brand.

Of all the sites included in the study, Progressive, GEICO and American Family were the most successful overall, providing the most effective online experience for consumers.
