I am considering Agent Methods to create a website for me. Just not sure if websites really work for Medicare. Anyone have success stories?

don't buy SEO tools.
Yoast SEO premium is $89/yr for one site. Slight discount for more than one. I use premium on my main site and the free version on a couple of other sites that are updated infrequently.
Video plugin is $69/yr for one site.
I debated getting the video plugin but finally added it a few weeks ago. Google bots would miss my videos when they do their sitemap sweep. Some were showing up in Google search but many were not.
Added the video plugin and now Google knows about all my onsite videos including news clips that are not self generated. When the bots sweep my sitemap they get all updates including recently added videos.
The Yoast SEO is for on page SEO only. It does not allow you to "spy" on competitor sites like Ahreffs, SEMrush, MOZ, SEO quake, SpyFu, etc.
Yoast also has a Local plugin. It seems it would be helpful for agents that only market in a limited geo area, I believe the "reach" is a 25 mile radius. Really designed for local foot traffic such as a retail store or service (plumber, electrician, dentist, attorney, etc.). I don't see the value of using the ever changing Google Local service for someone that works from their home and markets state or nationwide. I passed on Yoast Local for the same reason.
What Travis and somarco said above is all true. If you have the time and knowledge, SEO (search, google, etc.) traffic can be great as it's basically free. The other option is always paid traffic. I always use paid traffic as it is way more predictable, faster, and easier to track. Good luck and don't get sold some huge fancy website that will just sit there online and never been seen by anyone.
TRAFFIC.. now we're talking. Your website can be as simple as a form with a few "hook" headlines. In fact, that's really all it should be. Your goal is to get interested leads on the phone to close them. Your website's goal is to take incoming traffic and get them just interested enough to fill out the form and become a lead.
For Yoast, I like having a writing assistant. The paid version is more in line with something I'd at least try, cost wise. I'll take a better look at it.
