What you actually get

WHAT IS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN OUR GOOGLE ADS FOR MORTGAGE BROKERS?

No set-and-forget campaigns. Here is exactly what we build to fill your pipeline with qualified buyers.

Buyer-Segment Keyword Targeting

We target searches buyers use when they are ready to start the mortgage process: "mortgage broker near me", "first home loan NZ", "mortgage adviser [city]", "investment property mortgage NZ". Structured by buyer segment: first-home buyers, investors, refinancers. Commercial intent only.

Negative Keyword Hygiene

"Mortgage calculator", "mortgage definition", "mortgage broker jobs NZ: these clicks waste budget. We build comprehensive negative keyword lists so every dollar goes to buyers actively seeking a broker, not researchers and job seekers.

Ad Copy That Builds Immediate Trust

Trust-building, accessibility-focused headlines: "Free Consultation: No Bank Pressure", "Access 20+ NZ Lenders", "First Home Buyer Specialists", "Get Pre-Approval Advice Today". Written to attract serious buyers and position your brokerage as the credible, personal alternative to a bank.

Buyer-Segment Campaign Structure

Separate campaigns for first-home buyers, investors, refinancers, and construction loans, each with its own keywords, ad copy, and landing page. Ensures every buyer segment sees messaging specific to their situation.

Conversion Tracking

Every consultation booking, phone call, and pre-approval enquiry tracked to the specific keyword and ad. You see exactly which campaigns produce qualified enquiries and at what cost.

A/B Testing + Monthly Reporting

Ads and landing pages tested continuously. Monthly reports tied to consultation bookings and pipeline value, not clicks and impressions.

FAQ

Questions about mortgage broker Google Ads we get asked a lot

Is Google Ads worth it for a mortgage broker?+

Yes. A single mortgage settlement generates $1,500 to $5,000+ in commission. A campaign that costs $80 to $150 to generate a qualified consultation request is a straightforward return. The key is campaign structure that targets buyers who are ready to act: not just anyone searching mortgage-related terms.

How quickly will Google Ads produce enquiries for my brokerage?+

Days from launch. When a first-home buyer or investor searches for a mortgage broker and your ad appears, they contact you immediately if the ad and landing page build trust. Most NZ mortgage brokers see qualified consultation requests within the first week of a well-structured campaign.

What budget do I need to start Google Ads for a mortgage brokerage?+

Mortgage keywords can be competitive in NZ metros. We give a specific, honest budget recommendation in the initial strategy session based on your service area, buyer segments, and enquiry targets. Book a free audit for a realistic number.

Can Google Ads help me compete with bank direct channels for first-home buyers?+

Yes. Banks dominate branded and broad mortgage searches. We target searches where buyers explicitly want a broker: 'mortgage broker near me', 'independent mortgage adviser NZ', where your brokerage has a genuine advantage over a bank.

Should I run Google Ads or SEO first for my mortgage brokerage?+

Google Ads produces qualified enquiries immediately. SEO builds long-term pipeline and authority that serious buyers seek when researching. For mortgage brokers, both matter: Ads for immediate enquiry volume, SEO for the long-term pipeline that compounds over time.
