What the audits recorded
How Agency Revolution sites scored.
| Platform | Share of audited sites | Median score (sites) |
|---|---|---|
| Forge3 AgencyEdge (now Agency Revolution) | 11% | 59 out of 100 (10) |
| Agency Revolution | 3% | 67 out of 100 (3) |
Read the median with the sample size next to it. 10 sites tell you something about those 10 sites; they do not tell you much about Agency Revolution as a whole. For comparison, custom or unidentifiable builds, the largest group in the corpus, scored a median of 46 on 26 sites, and WordPress sites a median of 47 on 17.
Can AI read a Agency Revolution site?
All ten Forge3 sites in the corpus were readable to a crawler. One of the three Agency Revolution sites needed JavaScript rendering but was still readable. None of the 26 specialist-vendor sites was unreadable; every site that failed that check was a custom or unidentifiable build.
That is the first check an AI engine runs, and the specialist platforms pass it by default: they put the agency's name, address and services in plain HTML where a machine can find them. Sites that failed it scored a median of 31 against 50 for the rest.
Where every specialist template falls short
Sameness. The specialist platforms scored better than custom builds on average and clustered in the fifties, and the things that separate a 55 from an 85 were consistent across all of them: no license numbers on the page (94 percent of all audited sites), no InsuranceAgency schema type (65 percent), one generic page instead of one page per line, and no content about the county the agency actually writes in. Those are things a platform cannot do for you because they require knowing the agency. If you are on Agency Revolution, ask them by name whether your site emits InsuranceAgency schema and Person schema with license credentials. Those are yes-or-no questions.

Our own terms
How EffiWise differs.
Built before you pay. We research the agency, build the whole site with your producers, your carriers, your reviews and content written for your county, and send you a private link. You look at it finished, then decide. If you do not want it, close the tab.
$150 or $250 a month, no setup fee, no contract. Site is $150 a month. Site + Content is $250 and adds monthly local articles. There is nothing to log into; change requests are handled for you. If you cancel, we hand you an export of every page and your domain goes wherever you send it.
The checklist, done by default. InsuranceAgency schema, every producer as a Person with their license, a page per line you write, llms.txt, crawler permissions set on purpose, and build gates that refuse to ship a page with broken schema or placeholder text. The 25 items are public.
The honest weakness: this is a replacement, not a redesign. If you like your Agency Revolution site and want it tweaked, we are the wrong call, and the free audit will tell you whether it needs anything at all.
