How to Track Device Breakdown for Insurance

Consider how you last shopped for insurance. Perhaps you got a reminder that your policy was expiring. You probably pulled out your phone to start comparing quotes during a break. Later, when it was time to actually purchase, you might have switched to your computer for a more thorough process.

This pattern is common in insurance. Understanding device breakdown helps you create experiences that match how people actually buy policies, which can significantly increase your conversion rates.

Why Device Breakdown Matters for Insurance

Insurance research often starts on mobile. People see reminders, hear advertisements, or experience life changes that trigger insurance needs. Mobile is the instant connection point for this initial research.

Desktop is where serious shoppers complete purchases. The complexity of comparing coverage options, deductibles, and premiums often requires a larger screen and more focused attention.

Mobile quote requests are common but may have lower completion rates. Someone might start a quote on their phone while waiting in line, then finish later on desktop. Tracking this helps you understand your true conversion funnel.

Tablet users often represent a unique segment. They might be small business owners reviewing multiple policies during a quiet afternoon. These sessions often indicate high-value prospects.

How to Check in GA4

Open GA4 and go to Reports > Tech > Devices. Review the overall split, but add the Events column to see quote form interactions by device.

Create a custom conversion event for quote requests. Compare completion rates across mobile, desktop, and tablet. This reveals where you lose potential clients.

Segment your traffic by policy type. Auto insurance visitors might show different device patterns than home insurance visitors. Each product deserves its own strategy.

Compare device patterns between new visitors and returning clients. Current clients might handle policy changes on mobile, while new prospects need desktop experiences.

The Easier Way

ClawAnalytics makes device insights accessible for insurance professionals. Instead of complex GA4 configurations, you get straightforward answers about your clients.

Ask: “What device do visitors use when requesting auto insurance quotes?” This directly connects device usage to your sales process.

Another valuable question: “Are customers who purchase policies more likely to start on mobile or desktop?” This helps you understand the real path to purchase.

You can also ask: “Which device has the highest rate of abandoned quote forms?” This identifies where you need to improve the user experience.

Quick Wins

Optimize your quote forms for mobile. If they take too long or don’t save progress, you’ll lose mobile leads. Test the complete flow on actual devices.

Make your phone number highly visible on mobile. Many insurance shoppers want to talk to an agent immediately. Don’t make them hunt for contact information.

Ensure policy documents are accessible on all devices. Clients increasingly expect to view coverage details and claims status from their phones.

Use ClawAnalytics to set device-specific conversion goals. Focus on improving mobile quote completion rates by tracking the baseline and testing changes.
