Frequently Asked Questions
Mortgage Lead Generation Questions
What is mortgage lead generation?
+
Mortgage lead generation is the process of attracting people interested in a mortgage and converting that interest into a named inquiry or booked conversation. A complete system connects advertising or organic search with a landing page, qualification form, CRM, automated follow-up and appointment process. The campaign should also track which inquiries become applications and funded files.
What is the best way for mortgage brokers to generate leads in Canada?
+
The strongest channel depends on the mortgage product, market and borrower. Google Search is effective for active demand, while Facebook and Instagram can introduce a timely offer to a defined audience. SEO builds long-term organic visibility, and database reactivation can create opportunities from past contacts. Many brokers benefit from combining one paid acquisition channel with a strong landing page, fast follow-up and CRM tracking.
Does Amplify Leads sell shared mortgage leads?
+
No. Amplify Leads builds and manages advertising campaigns for your business. Leads generated through your campaign enter your pipeline and are not resold by Amplify Leads to competing brokers.
What makes a mortgage lead exclusive?
+
An exclusive lead is generated for one client campaign and delivered to that client rather than intentionally sold to multiple brokers. Exclusivity does not mean the borrower is prevented from contacting another mortgage professional independently. It means Amplify Leads does not redistribute the inquiry created through your campaign.
What types of mortgage leads can you generate?
+
Campaigns can focus on purchase and pre-approval prospects, first-time home buyers, refinances, debt consolidation, renewals, home equity, private mortgages, second mortgages, self-employed borrowers, alternative lending, investment properties and commercial mortgages. We generally recommend beginning with one focused offer and expanding after the campaign produces useful data.
Are Facebook Ads effective for mortgage brokers?
+
Facebook and Instagram Ads can work well when the offer addresses a clear borrower situation and the campaign includes strong creative, a focused landing page, sensible qualification and fast follow-up. Meta is often useful for first-time buyer education, debt consolidation, refinance, private mortgage and self-employed campaigns. Performance varies by market, budget, offer and sales process.
Are Google Ads effective for mortgage brokers?
+
Google Ads can reach borrowers who are actively searching for a mortgage solution. Success depends on organizing keywords and landing pages around specific intent, controlling irrelevant search terms and measuring qualified inquiries instead of clicks alone. Highly competitive rate keywords may be expensive, so product-specific and local search terms often deserve separate testing.
Do mortgage brokers need SEO if they already run ads?
+
Paid ads can create traffic quickly, while SEO builds visibility that can continue beyond an individual advertising campaign. SEO also strengthens the pages people visit after seeing an ad, referral or social profile. A useful mortgage website should clearly explain services, markets, process, credentials and common borrower questions even when paid media is the primary lead source.
How are mortgage leads qualified?
+
Qualification forms are customized to the campaign. They may ask about mortgage purpose, location, property type, estimated value, current mortgage balance, down payment or equity, employment type, general credit range and timeline. These answers help prioritize the inquiry, but final qualification, approval, rate and product suitability remain the responsibility of the licensed mortgage professional and lender.
Can you integrate with Filogix or Finmo?
+
Amplify Leads can support workflow connections with Filogix Expert, Finmo and other mortgage platforms where the required access and integration method are available. Connections may use a direct integration, API, webhook, Zapier, Make or a controlled import/export process. We confirm the exact fields and workflow before launch because capabilities can vary by platform, account and brokerage permissions.
Which CRMs and mortgage platforms can you work with?
+
Supported connections may include GoHighLevel, Filogix Expert, Finmo, Velocity, Scarlett, BluMortgage, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Calendly and other systems. The available automation and data flow depend on the platform's technical capabilities and the access provided by the client.
Will I own the leads and campaign data?
+
Leads generated for your campaign belong to your business. Account ownership and access should be defined during onboarding. Whenever practical, campaigns, tracking and data should be set up so the client retains appropriate visibility and access to their assets.
How much should a mortgage broker spend on advertising?
+
The right budget depends on the target location, mortgage product, platform, competition and desired volume. A useful testing budget must be large enough to collect enough clicks and conversions to evaluate the offer. We review the market and recommend a starting range rather than applying one budget to every broker.
How many mortgage leads will I receive each month?
+
Lead volume varies by budget, product, location, offer, season, creative, landing-page performance and competition. We set a testing forecast based on the campaign rather than promising a fixed number. Actual cost per lead, contact rate, appointment rate and lead quality are then used to improve the system.
How quickly can a mortgage campaign launch?
+
Launch timing depends on the campaign scope and how quickly we receive branding, brokerage information, offer details, account access and approvals. The build normally includes strategy, creative, landing-page production, CRM setup, automation, tracking and compliance review before the ads go live.
Do you work with mortgage brokers throughout Canada?
+
Yes. Amplify Leads can build campaigns for mortgage agents, brokers, teams, brokerages and lenders targeting approved service areas across Canada, including major markets such as Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Surrey, Montreal, Winnipeg and Halifax. Copy, disclosures, targeting and follow-up should be adapted to the province, city, brokerage and mortgage products being advertised.
Can you build a mortgage lead generation campaign for my city?
+
Yes, provided your brokerage is authorized to serve that market and the available audience and budget can support the campaign. We can localize the advertising, landing page, qualification questions and follow-up around the city or region. For SEO, a dedicated location page should include useful local context, relevant services, authentic proof and unique answers rather than repeating the same page with a different city name.
Are the campaigns compliant with mortgage advertising rules?
+
We build campaigns with brokerage details, platform policies, consent requirements and regional considerations in mind. The client's brokerage, compliance officer or legal counsel retains final responsibility for approving regulated claims, rates, disclosures and product information.
Do you guarantee funded mortgages?
+
No responsible marketing company can guarantee that a lead will qualify, complete an application or fund. We build and optimize the acquisition and follow-up system. Results also depend on the market, offer, budget, response time, broker sales process, borrower circumstances and lender fit.
