The Challenge
A mortgage broker trying to compete on Google against national lenders spending six figures per month — needed to win on relevance and trust, not raw budget.
How we did it
Transparency-First Redesign
Redesigned around transparency as the brand differentiator — rate comparison tools, fee disclosure breakdowns, and a no-surprise calculator built into the homepage hero.
Long-Tail Campaign Strategy
Targeted refinance timing, first-time homebuyer research, and reverse mortgage intent queries — long-tail terms national lenders ignore, with 40–60% lower CPCs and higher purchase intent.
Form Conversion Optimization
Reduced the pre-qual form from 12 fields to 5, added a progress indicator, and moved the primary CTA above the fold. Form start rate increased 28% in the first 30 days.
