What Is Mortgage Lead Generation?
Mortgage lead generation is how we find borrowers who need a mortgage and turn them into direct enquiries for your firm. At PromoSEO, we build that pipeline through organic search, paid advertising and conversion-focused landing pages, framed as general information rather than regulated advice.
We target the searches people run at each stage of a mortgage, from "how much can I borrow" and "mortgage in principle" to "best remortgage deals" and "help to buy replacement", and capture them through your Google rankings, Google Business Profile and paid campaigns. Each enquiry arrives by call, web form or WhatsApp and is logged the moment it lands.
The result is a steady stream of mortgage enquiries your firm owns outright, rather than a shared comparison-site listing that sends the same borrower to several advisers. We never imply FCA authorisation and never promise a mortgage will be approved, because lending decisions rest with the provider. Get in touch to see how many mortgage enquiries we can generate for you.
How Much Do Mortgage Leads Cost?
Mortgage leads typically cost from around £18 to £70 per qualified lead, depending on the mortgage type and how competitive the term is. A standard purchase or remortgage enquiry sits at the lower end, while specialist, buy-to-let and adverse-credit cases command more because the loan size and the borrower's intent are higher.
Two pricing models are common: pay per lead, where you are charged for each qualified enquiry, and a monthly management fee across Google Ads and SEO where you keep every lead generated. What drives the figure is search competition, the loan amount, whether the case is standard or specialist, and how tightly we qualify each enquiry against your criteria.
These are indicative ranges to confirm on a call, not fixed prices, because mortgage cost per lead varies by product type and by how far Google's financial services policy restricts paid channels. Request a free quote and we will size it around the mortgages you handle.
| Mortgage type | Indicative cost per lead | Typical case value to the firm |
|---|---|---|
| Residential purchase | £18 to £40 | £350 to £1,500 |
| Remortgage / product transfer | £18 to £42 | £300 to £1,200 |
| Buy-to-let mortgage | £30 to £60 | £600 to £2,000 |
| Specialist / adverse credit | £40 to £70 | £700 to £2,500 |
Indicative figures for guidance only, confirmed at campaign planning. Case value depends on the procuration fee, any adviser fee and protection written alongside.
What Types of Mortgage Leads Does PromoSEO Generate?
PromoSEO generates mortgage leads across every core product line, from standard residential purchases to specialist lending. We match each campaign to the mortgages you actually want more of, so a firm that only handles residential is not sent commercial or bridging enquiries outside its remit.
- Residential purchase: first-time buyers and home movers arranging a mortgage on a main residence.
- Remortgage and product transfer: borrowers switching lender or rate at the end of a fixed deal to lower payments or release equity.
- Buy-to-let: landlords financing a rental property, including limited company buy-to-let and portfolio cases.
- Specialist lending: self-employed, contractor, adverse-credit and later-life borrowers who need a lender beyond the high street.
- New build and shared ownership: buyers using developer schemes, shared ownership or a Help to Buy replacement.
- Protection alongside the mortgage: life insurance, income protection and buildings cover enquiries that complete the case.
Are PromoSEO's Mortgage Leads Exclusive or Shared?
PromoSEO's mortgage leads are exclusive, which means every enquiry we generate goes to your firm alone and is never resold to three or four rival advisers like the shared comparison sites and aggregators borrowers are often passed around by.
Exclusivity changes your close rate. A borrower who has just asked how much they can borrow expects one adviser to call, so being rung by five firms erodes trust fast. When you are the only firm they speak to, and you reach them within minutes on a real-time lead, conversion typically runs two to three times higher than a shared lead chased by several firms. It also protects your fee, because you are not competing on price against four other quotes.

What Marketing Channels Does PromoSEO Use to Generate Mortgage Leads?
PromoSEO generates mortgage leads through four main channels: search engine optimisation, Google Ads, Meta advertising and content marketing, combined so you are not reliant on any single source or one platform's advertising policy.
SEO builds lasting rankings for terms like "how much can I borrow" and "best remortgage rates", where borrowers research for weeks before they call. Google Ads captures urgent, high-intent searches, though mortgage ads must clear Google's financial services verification and CAP rules first. Meta advertising reaches movers and first-time buyers with life-event targeting, and retargeting brings back visitors who used a calculator but did not enquire.
We track every call and form back to its channel, so budget follows the campaigns producing the cheapest qualified mortgage leads. Ask us which channel mix suits the mortgages your firm handles.
How Are Mortgage Leads Qualified Before They Reach You?
Every mortgage lead is qualified against your criteria before it reaches you: the mortgage type, whether it is a purchase or remortgage, the rough loan size and deposit, the borrower's timeframe and that the contact details are genuine. Enquiries that fall outside your remit are filtered out.
We screen for the mortgages you handle, so a residential firm is not sent commercial or bridging enquiries, and confirm the borrower is UK-based and ready to speak to an adviser. Phone leads are checked against missed-call and spam patterns, and web enquiries are validated for complete details before delivery to your phone or CRM.
You agree the qualification rules up front, and we review any lead that falls short of them. We keep the qualification factual and never pre-approve a borrower or quote a guaranteed rate, because affordability and the lending decision rest with the provider and your advice.
How Fast Can PromoSEO Start Sending Mortgage Leads?
Most mortgage campaigns start delivering enquiries within two to four weeks of launch. Paid channels like Google Ads and Meta can produce leads within days once financial services verification and ad approval clear, while SEO builds steadily over four to six months into your largest long-term source.
We move at setup: campaign build, call tracking and compliant landing pages in the first week, then ad approval and lead delivery. Because mortgage ads face extra checks under Google's financial services policy and CAP guidance, we allow time for that verification rather than promising same-day paid traffic. Leads arrive in real time by call, text or CRM push, so you can respond while the borrower is still comparing options.
Speed of response matters as much as speed of setup, since a borrower rarely waits for one firm to call back. Contact us to get your mortgage campaign live this quarter.
What Return on Investment Can Mortgage Firms Expect?
Mortgage firms working with PromoSEO typically see £4 to £9 back for every £1 spent once campaigns mature, based on a case value of £300 to £2,500 in procuration and adviser fees and a lead-to-completion conversion rate of 20% to 35% on exclusive enquiries.
The maths is straightforward: a £35 remortgage lead that converts one case in four still returns a completion worth several hundred pounds, before any protection written alongside it. Higher-value buy-to-let and specialist cases lift the return further, while faster response, a clear fact-find and steady follow-up push your completion rate up.
These figures are indicative and depend on your fee structure, close rate and follow-up, which is why we track cost per lead and cost per completed case from day one. We do not guarantee case numbers or approvals; ask for a projection built around your own figures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you generate purchase and remortgage leads?
Yes. We can target residential purchase, remortgage, product transfer and buy-to-let enquiries, and route each to the right category so you only receive the mortgage cases your firm handles.
Are your mortgage campaigns compliant with advertising rules?
We keep ad copy and landing pages factual and within CAP and ASA guidance for mortgage advertising. We do not imply FCA authorisation, promise approval, or quote a guaranteed rate, and regulated advice stays with your firm.
What happens if a mortgage lead is not genuine or out of scope?
We agree the qualification criteria up front, filter enquiries against them, and review any lead that clearly falls short, such as a wrong-region or product you do not offer, so you spend your time on cases you can place.
Can mortgage leads be sent to my CRM or sourcing system?
Yes. Leads are delivered in real time by call, SMS and email, and can be pushed into most CRMs and mortgage sourcing tools, so every borrower enquiry is logged and followed up quickly.
How many mortgage leads can you generate a month?
Volume depends on search demand, budget and how strict the ad checks are, but most mortgage campaigns build to between 25 and 90 qualified enquiries a month. We give you a realistic projection before you commit.
