meta ads for mortgage brokers

Why brokers keep asking this question - Facebook Ads Vs Google Ads for Mortgage Brokers This is one of the most common paid media questions in broking because both platforms can produce leads, but they produce them in very different ways. Google says Search campaigns help advertisers reach people while they are searching for the products or services they offer, while Meta positions lead ads and Instant Forms as tools to help businesses generate and qualify leads inside Facebo

Why low-quality leads are such a common problem on Facebook A lot of mortgage brokers try Facebook ads, see a burst of enquiry volume, and think the channel is working until the follow up starts. Then the real pattern appears. People do not answer calls, do not remember filling in the form, are too early in the journey, or are simply not a strong fit for the service being promoted. That is why so many brokers end up saying Facebook ads do not work, when the real issue is usua

Why AI optimisation is now part of broker marketing AI optimisation is becoming a bigger part of broker marketing because search behaviour is changing. People are no longer only typing short keywords into classic search results and clicking one of ten blue links. Google now uses AI features such as AI Overviews and AI Mode to help people explore more complex questions, and Google says these features surface relevant links and create opportunities for more types of sites to ap

Why the About page matters more than many brokers think A lot of brokers treat the About page like a background page. It gets written once, often quickly, and then left alone for years. The thinking is usually simple. The real work happens on the home page, the service pages, the landing pages, and the contact page. The About page is just there for anyone curious enough to click. That mindset usually underestimates how people actually behave. When someone is considering worki

Why so many broker lead magnets disappoint A lot of brokers like the idea of a lead magnet. It sounds useful. Offer something of value, collect a contact, and create a future opportunity. In theory, that makes sense. In practice, many broker lead magnets underperform because they attract the wrong people, sit inside weak funnels, or create too much curiosity and not enough genuine commercial intent. The numbers may still look fine on paper. There may be downloads, form submis

Why most mortgage broker blog strategies are too random A lot of mortgage broker blogs exist, but very few are structured well enough to build real authority. You often see a mix of posts about rate changes, a first home buyer article, a market update, a generic tip list, and maybe a seasonal piece thrown in when there is time. The content may be fine in isolation, but the overall effect is weak because there is no real architecture behind it. That is the problem. A blog with

Why CTAs matter more than most brokers realise A lot of broker websites do not have a traffic problem first. They have a call to action problem. The site may look polished. It may even get decent traffic from search, referrals, or paid campaigns. But when the visitor lands on the page, the next step feels weak. The button says Contact Us. The form says Submit. The copy says Learn More. None of it creates much urgency, clarity, or confidence. That is why CTAs matter so much. F

Some brokers create content without ever building a real content plan. They post when they have time. They write about whatever comes to mind. They react to interest rate news, share the occasional client win, publish a blog now and then, and hope that over time it turns into more leads. Usually, it does not. Not because content does not work. It absolutely can. The problem is that most broker content is disconnected from search intent, disconnected from the borrower journey,

If you are paying for traffic ( Google Ads , Meta Ads , SEO , partnerships), your landing page is either printing money or quietly burning it. Most brokers do not lose because their ads are bad. They lose because they send paid clicks to the wrong place. A homepage is not a landing page. A service page is usually not a landing page. A landing page is a purpose-built conversion tool designed to turn one specific type of visitor into one specific next step. In 2026, brokers who

If you have run Meta ads (Facebook and Instagram) as a mortgage broker, you have probably experienced this: Leads come in cheap. Your calendar looks promising. Then the follow-up begins… and it is a graveyard. Wrong numbers. No replies. “Just looking.” People who cannot borrow. People who wanted a calculator, not a conversation. It is frustrating, because you did not get into broking to chase strangers who do not answer the phone. Here’s the good news. Meta can absolutely gen
