Quick answer

Mortgage broker SEO is the work of getting a broking practice found in Google's map pack and organic results for searches like “mortgage broker [city]”, “first home buyer broker” and “refinance home loan”. I do it with Google Business Profile optimisation, a dedicated page for each loan type and city served, steady review growth and compliance-aware copy that shows your credit representative details and puts a comparison rate beside any rate. My website SEO starts at $1,500+GST a month, month to month, and the enquiries it brings carry no cost per click.

The ready-to-talk searches (mortgage broker near me, broker plus your city) are decided in the map pack, while the research searches (first home buyer questions, refinance comparisons) are won with genuinely helpful pages. I cover both halves, so a borrower finds your practice whether they're ready to talk or still reading.

Where the clicks actually go on a mortgage broker search.

A Google results page has 3 battlegrounds. Each is won differently.

The map pack

The 3 local listings under the map collect most of the clicks on 'mortgage broker near me' and 'mortgage broker [city]'. They're won with an optimised Google Business Profile, steady review growth and real proximity signals. Distance favours a broker with an office in the suburb, and your map listing belongs to your practice alone.

Organic results

Below the map, organic listings win the research searches: first home buyer deposit questions, refinance timing, investment loan structures. The banks and comparison sites hold the broad national terms, while broker x city and loan-type x city searches suit a real local broker with genuinely useful pages.

Paid ads

Ads sit on top and answer the ready-to-act searches, at up to $40 a click for refinance terms. I run them too, with compliant copy. SEO builds the Maps and organic presence that keeps bringing enquiries with no cost per click.

The local SEO playbook I run for mortgage brokers.

The fundamentals, done properly and kept up every month.

Google Business Profile, done properly

Correct categories (Mortgage Broker, Loan Agency), your office verified, loan types listed as services (first home buyer, refinancing, investment lending), photos of you and your office, and weekly activity. I keep the profile active every month, so Google and borrowers always see a current, approachable practice.

Loan-type pages that earn their place

A dedicated page for each loan type (first home buyer, refinance, investment) and for the cities and suburbs you serve, each with detail only your practice could write. Every page carries your credit representative details and accurate, balanced wording, so it converts and keeps your aggregator happy.

Reviews on a settled routine

Settlement day is the happiest your client will ever be with you, so that's when I set the review request to go out, every time. Review count, rating and recency shape both your map visibility and which broker a nervous first home buyer decides to call first.

Advertising rules that shape a broker's website.

Your website is advertising for a credit service, so the same rules that shape your ads shape your pages. I build them into every page from the first draft, which keeps your compliance review straightforward.

  • ✓Your Australian Credit Licence number, or your credit representative number with your licensee's details, shown on every page.
  • ✓Any interest rate on a page carries its comparison rate and the warning that goes with it.
  • ✓Statements about approval, rates and turnaround written so they're accurate and balanced, the way ASIC's guidance on advertising credit asks.
  • ✓Your aggregator's or licensee's compliance check built in before any page goes live.

A note on scope

I'm not a compliance adviser or a credit lawyer, but from what I know these points cover the basics for a broker's website. ASIC's guidance and your licensee's own policy set the detail, and your licensee or aggregator has the final word on wording.

Real Client Results

The same playbook, proven on real local businesses.

My best-documented client result is Adam Nettleton of Adam Plumbing & Gas in Adelaide. After 10 years of agencies chasing his target of 30 new Google clients a month, he went from 13 new Google clients a month to 41 by month 4 with me. A broker's loan types and service suburbs work on Google the same way a plumber's services and suburbs do.

Closer to broking, I ran SEO for Fentons Conveyancing, a property business in Christies Beach, South Australia, through 2025. In Local Falcon grid scans on 5 dates between May 2025 and February 2026, Fentons held first place on Google Maps at every grid point for “conveyancer christies beach”.

Starting point

  • •13 new Google clients a month
  • •A goal of 30 a month, set for 5 agencies over 10 years

After 4 months

  • ✓41 new Google clients a month by month 4
  • ✓Past his goal of 30 a month

The playbook travels, too. Lucky Duck Mowing in Caloundra had its first inbound quote request 28 minutes after the new SEO site went live. Ali Haque of Fine Automotive Detailing in Adelaide went from renting a workshop in Broadview to opening his own in Mile End about 3 months in. And Mark L Hair in Melbourne, an appointments business much like a broker's consultations, saw the impact of a local SEO strategy within 1 month.

Questions mortgage brokers ask about SEO.

How much does SEO for mortgage brokers cost?
My website SEO for mortgage brokers starts at $1,500+GST a month for a cluster of suburbs, with $2,500+GST for a whole metro area and $4,000+GST for practices working across more than 1 city, all month to month with no lock-in contracts. That covers your Google Business Profile, loan-type and city pages, a reviews routine and the technical work on your website. For a broker serving 1 city, the work goes into that city, its suburbs and your loan types, so the plan stays sized to your market. If you'd like to start with Google Maps, a one-off Business Profile optimisation is $750+GST, and Google Maps syndication is $800+GST a month for 1 syndication or $1,450+GST for 2, sold separately. Our SEO pricing guide breaks down exactly what each plan covers.
How long does mortgage broker SEO take to work?
I measure it month by month, so you can judge it on your own numbers. Month 1 is your Business Profile rebuilt, call and enquiry tracking switched on, and a page plan for your loan types and suburbs. From there, every month brings new pages, review requests at settlement and technical fixes, and the report lists calls, enquiries and the home loan searches your practice appears for. From my own client work, Adam Plumbing & Gas in Adelaide went from 13 new Google clients a month to 41 with me by month 4. Every practice starts from a different base, so I look at yours before I recommend a plan.
Can a single broker compete with Lendi, Aussie and the banks on Google?
Yes, on the local searches. National brands and comparison sites are built for broad terms like 'home loan' or 'best mortgage rates'. For 'mortgage broker [your city or suburb]' and the Maps listings, Google weighs relevance, distance and prominence, and a local broker with a strong profile, genuine reviews and dedicated pages fits those searches well. 'Mortgage broker adelaide' alone gets around 2,900 searches a month, and that searcher wants a person who knows the local market and answers their own phone.
How do you keep broker content within credit advertising rules?
I keep your credit representative and licensee details visible, add the comparison rate and its warning wherever a rate is mentioned, and write statements about approval and rates so they're accurate and balanced. I'm not a credit or legal adviser, so your aggregator's or licensee's compliance process gets final sign-off before anything goes live. The copy is written with that review in mind, which keeps sign-off simple.
Should every loan type have its own page?
Yes, because Google ranks each page on its own merits. A first home buyer, a refinancer and a property investor type completely different searches and see completely different results, so each needs a page written for them. The core of mortgage broker SEO is a genuinely useful page per loan type, then versions for each city or suburb you serve. Each one earns its place with detail a borrower can use, such as the deposit they'll need, the documents to gather and what happens at each step.
I already run Google Ads for home loan keywords. Do I still need SEO?
Refinance and broker clicks can cost up to $40 each, so Ads suit immediate coverage on the searches that matter most. SEO builds the Maps and organic visibility that brings enquiries with no cost per click, and it keeps working between campaigns. Brokers with the budget for both get today's enquiries from ads and a growing base of organic enquiries underneath.
Do you work with mortgage brokers in Melbourne and across Australia?
Yes. I'm based in Adelaide and work with brokers across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Your profile and pages are built around your city and the suburbs you serve, and you deal with me by phone, video call or email.
