Why SEO is hard here

Lead sites and big lenders crowd results

Rate tables and national lenders take the top results for broad searches.

Rates and rules change constantly

Pages with old rates or limits mislead buyers and lose trust.

Strict advertising rules

Lending pages carry disclosure rules, so copy needs review.

A mortgage broker SEO playbook

A mortgage is the biggest financial decision most people make, and they research it for months. SEO for mortgage brokers and lenders means meeting buyers early with honest guides, then giving each loan program and borrower situation a page that makes applying the next step.

Pages by borrower situation

'Mortgage for self-employed', 'first time buyer with a small deposit', 'mortgage after divorce': these searches come from people who need a broker more than a bank. A page per situation you handle well is the core of mortgage SEO.

Guides for every stage

Affordability, pre-approval, deposits, closing costs: buyers search each step in order. A guide for each, linked together, keeps them on your site until they're ready to talk.

Keep numbers in one place

Rates, limits and program rules change often, and pages with old figures cost trust and rankings. Drafts mark every figure for checking, and keeping rates on one page your team updates makes the rest easy to keep right.

Disclosures and review

Lending pages carry advertising rules. Drafts mark where disclosures belong, and every page waits for your approval.

Measuring mortgage SEO

Track applications and calls by landing page. Compare each organic lead with what a bought lead costs, which is often several times more.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can SEO compete with lead generation sites?

For broad rate searches, rarely. For specific situations, like mortgages for the self-employed or for contractors, a broker's own page can rank and bring better leads than bought ones.

Will drafts include the disclosures we need?

Drafts mark where disclosures go, and your team adds the exact wording your license requires before approving.

Should we publish today's rates?

Only if you can keep them current. A page that explains what affects rates, with a clear way to get a quote, is safer and still ranks.

Do calculators help?

Yes, people search for them constantly. Sojig drafts the page around a calculator, the method, examples and FAQ, while your developer or website builder provides the calculator itself.
