Facebook Ads · Built Around Your Niche

Better Leads From Facebook. Pick a Niche. Dominate It on Facebook. And Get Borrowers Who Actually Show Up, Send Their Docs, and Settle.

Most agencies sell mortgage brokers a one-size-fits-all Facebook funnel and wonder why the leads ghost. We do the opposite. Pick your niche — self-employed, SMSF, first home buyers, refinance, doctors, nurses, teachers — and we build a Facebook ads system that speaks to that one buyer. Higher show rates. Higher settlement conversion. Real ROI inside the long broker sales cycle.

If Your Last Facebook Campaign Cost $4k a Month and Settled Two Loans, It Wasn’t Bad Luck. It Was a Generic Funnel Pointed at a Generic Borrower.

“Get a home loan today” doesn’t speak to anyone. It looks like every other broker ad in the feed. Your cost per lead climbs, your show rate collapses, and the leads that do turn up don’t qualify.

  • Your “home loan” ads compete with 400 other brokers running word-for-word the same offer. Cost per lead climbs every quarter because nobody’s differentiated. Facebook punishes generic.
  • The leads that come in won’t qualify. Tyre-kickers, renters, people who “just wanted to see what they could borrow.” Your team burns hours on calls that never settle. Nobody’s filtering at the ad stage.
  • The agency running your ads has never written a loan. They optimise for cost per click. You measure on settled commission. Different scoreboards. Yours is the one that pays the rent.
  • The pricing model is wrong for your sales cycle. Most agencies want monthly results in 30 days. A self-employed loan can take 90 days from first call to settlement. You need an agency that understands the cycle and prices accordingly.
  • There’s no niche, no positioning, no specialist angle. A doctor at the hospital isn’t going to fill out a form for “free home loan advice.” But they will book a call with the broker who specifically handles 95% LMI-waived loans for medical professionals on private hospital contracts.
  • And the dashboard tells you nothing useful. Click-through rates. Impressions. Frequency. None of it tells you if a borrower actually settled. Most agencies disappear from the conversation the moment a lead becomes “your problem.”

The Whole System Hinges on One Decision. Which Borrower Do You Want to Be Famous For?

Pick a niche and we build the entire Facebook funnel around it. Ad creative, hooks, audience targeting, lead form, follow-up sequence, all written in the language of that one borrower. The result: ads that resonate, show rates that climb, and a settlement pipeline of borrowers who already self-identified as your ideal client.

Niche 01

Self-Employed Borrowers

Sole traders, company directors, contractors. Often knocked back by banks for “messy” income. Ads speak directly to alt-doc, low-doc, and 1-year financials lenders. High loan sizes, sticky relationships.

Alt-Doc Low-Doc Sole Traders
Niche 02

SMSF Property Investors

Trustees looking to buy property inside super. Niche, technical, premium. Very few brokers know this space well. The ones who do, charge accordingly and get referred for years.

SMSF Lending Trustees Premium
Niche 03

First Home Buyers

High volume, emotional decision, government schemes (FHBG, FHSS, stamp duty concessions). Ads built around eligibility, deposit gap, and “what can I actually afford.” Fast-moving pipeline.

FHBG FHSS Volume
Niche 04

Refinance & Cashback

Existing homeowners on rates 1%+ above market. Quick wins, fast settlements, lower friction than purchase loans. The volume play that funds bigger niche bets.

Rate-Switch Cashback Fast Cycle
Niche 05

Doctors & Medical Professionals

Up to 100% LVR with no LMI for eligible specialists. Premium loan sizes, sophisticated borrowers, long lifetime value. Ads target hospital networks and specialty colleges.

LMI Waiver High LVR Premium
Niche 06

Nurses & Healthcare Workers

LMI discounts, profession-friendly lenders, shift-work-friendly servicing. A massive, under-served audience. Underwhelmingly marketed to by most broker advertising.

LMI Discounts Shift Income Healthcare
Niche 07

Teachers & Education

Stable PAYG income, professional discounts at certain lenders, strong word-of-mouth networks. A steady, referral-rich pipeline once the first few loans settle.

PAYG Stable Pro Discounts Referral-Rich
Niche 08

Property Investors

Second-property and portfolio borrowers. Higher loan sizes, repeat clients, multi-deal lifetime value. Ads built around equity release, debt recycling, and yield-driven strategies.

Equity Release Portfolio Repeat Loans
Niche 09

Expats & Non-Residents

Australian citizens overseas, foreign income borrowers, non-resident investors. Highly specialised, very few brokers operate here well. Premium fees, sticky clients, low competition.

Foreign Income Non-Resident Specialist

Don’t see your niche? Construction loans, bridging, commercial, NDIS, divorce settlements, asset finance — we’ve built funnels for all of them. The principle is the same: pick one, own it, scale it.


Six Things Every Niche Funnel Includes Before a Dollar Goes Live.

This is the short version of the system we’ve built across $900M+ of Facebook spend. Every campaign we launch runs through these. No exceptions.

01 · Niche Research

We Get Inside the Borrower’s Head Before We Touch the Ad Manager

Audience interviews, lender BDM calls, scrape of real broker testimonials in the niche, mapping of objections. We walk into ad creative knowing the exact phrases your ideal borrower types into Google at 11pm. That’s where the hooks come from.

02 · Ad Creative

Hooks Written by Senior Direct-Response Copy, Not a Junior

Static ads, video ads, carousel — every one written by a senior copywriter who has personally spent real money on ads. Hooks tested at the niche level. Three creative angles minimum, refreshed every 14-21 days to fight ad fatigue.

03 · Targeting

Audience Stacks Built for Mortgage-Intent Behaviour

Lookalikes off your settled clients, interest stacks specific to your niche (e.g. healthcare colleges for medical, ABN-related interests for self-employed), retargeting funnels off your website and lead magnets. No “interest: home loan” spray-and-pray.

04 · Landing & Lead Capture

Pages Built Around the Niche, Not a Generic “Apply Now”

Whether we use a Meta lead form, a custom landing page, or a calendar booking flow — every step is filtered for niche fit. Pre-qualifying questions baked in so unqualified leads filter themselves out before your team picks up the phone.

05 · Follow-Up

SMS & Email Sequences That Match a 60-90 Day Loan Cycle

Most agencies hand you a lead and disappear. We build the nurture: SMS within 5 minutes of opt-in, email sequences across 12 weeks, broker-friendly objection handlers. Because a “no” today is often a “yes” in eight weeks once the borrower is ready.

06 · Settlement Tracking

We Measure What Pays You. Settled Commission, Not Clicks.

We tag every lead through to settlement using your aggregator data. Cost per settled loan, not cost per lead. Conversations every fortnight about which niches are converting and where to scale spend. Real ROI, not vanity dashboards.


First We Get You Settling Loans From Facebook. Then We Build the Long Game.

We don’t bury you in a 12-month strategic plan before you’ve banked a return. Phase 1 is Facebook ads, fast, focused, profitable. Once that’s working and you’re settling loans, then we layer in SEO, website upgrades, and Google. Earn the right to expand the relationship by getting the cash flow right first.

1Phase
Facebook Ads & Momentum
Niche locked, funnel built, ads live. Goal: settled loans, positive ROI, real cash flow inside the long broker cycle. Nothing else gets discussed until this phase is profitable.
2Phase
Scale & Refine
Double down on what’s settling. Expand winning ad sets, retire underperformers, deepen the nurture sequence. This is where cost per settled loan compresses and your team feels the pipeline shift.
3Phase
Website, SEO & Long-Term Authority
Once Facebook is paying for itself, we layer in SEO, AEO, content, website upgrades, and Google search. Compound assets that keep paying after you stop running ads. The slow money on top of the fast money.

Generic “Mortgage Broker Funnel.” Or a Niche-Built System Priced Around Your 60-to-90 Day Sales Cycle.

A generic agency wants to charge you a fixed monthly retainer and judge themselves on cost-per-lead inside 30 days. That works for an HVAC business. It does not work for a $1.2M PPR loan that takes 11 weeks to settle. We’ve built the engagement around the reality of how broker commissions actually arrive.

Typical Marketing Agency Generic Funnel

Same ads, same hooks, same form for every broker on the books

  • “Get a home loan” generic ad creative
  • No niche specialisation, no positioning
  • Pricing assumes 30-day results cycle
  • Cost-per-lead dashboards, no settlement tracking
  • Junior media buyer who has never written a loan
  • Lead handed off, then radio silence

Pricing That Respects How Broker Commissions Actually Arrive.

A broker doesn’t bank revenue 14 days after a lead opts in. A self-employed loan can take 90 days. An SMSF deal, longer. We’ve structured engagements around that reality. Fees adjusted for the long cycle, KPIs measured on settled loans, performance reviews at 60 and 90 days — not week one. The agency that doesn’t understand this part will burn you out before your first commission cheque clears.

How it works in practice. We agree on the niche, build the system, run ads, and check in fortnightly. Real measurement happens at day 60 and day 90 once loans start settling. That’s when the conversation about scale, expansion, and adding SEO/Google starts. Not before.

Hi, I’m Cyril

15 Years Inside Australian Mortgage Broking. Why That’s the Whole Difference.

I’ve been running marketing for Australian brokers since before “broker funnels” were a thing. I’ve sat with sole traders trying to refinance with 1-year financials. I’ve watched SMSF deals fall over at week 8 because the trust deed wasn’t right. The brokers I work with settle loans, not collect leads.

That experience shapes everything we do on Facebook. The hooks understand why a self-employed borrower hates the word “payslip.” The audience targeting knows which lenders actually approve doctors at 100% LVR. The follow-up sequences match the rhythm of a real broker pipeline, not the rhythm of a DTC e-commerce campaign.

And the pricing reflects it. We adjust to the long cycle because anything else burns the broker out before the first commission cheque arrives. We’d rather have a five-year client paying us a fair amount than a three-month client we extracted a retainer from.

“Most broker Facebook ads fail for one reason. They speak to nobody in particular, in a feed full of brokers all saying the same thing. Pick a niche. Speak to that one person. The math works after that.”

After Facebook Is Settling Loans, We Layer In SEO, Google & Website. Not Before.

Most agencies want to sell you everything in one $5k-a-month bundle and pray something works. We don’t. We earn the right to expand the relationship by getting Facebook profitable first. Then we open up the rest of the toolkit.

SEO & Google Search

Long-form authority content, technical on-page, link building, and local SEO. The compounding asset that keeps generating enquiries after you stop spending on ads.

AI Engine Optimisation (AEO)

Get named by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity when borrowers ask AI “who’s the best broker for X.” The early-mover SEO of the next decade.

Website Build & Redesign

Conversion-led brokerage websites built on WordPress with proper niche positioning. Faster, cleaner, and built to feed the Facebook funnel rather than fight it.

Landing Page Construction

Standalone niche-specific landing pages for first home buyers, SMSF, doctors, etc. Each page built around one borrower, one offer, one outcome.

Lead Nurture & CRM

SMS and email automations across the full 90-day broker cycle. Stops cold leads from going to waste and revives the “not now” enquiries six weeks later.

Reporting & Settlement Attribution

Full pipeline reporting tied back to settled commission, not vanity clicks. So you actually know which $5k of ad spend earned which $30k of trail.

First, we get the cash flow right. Then we expand. That’s the order. Always.

Stop Burning $4k a Month on Generic Mortgage Ads. Pick a Niche. Build the System That Settles It.

Reality check. A single self-employed loan can generate $8k-$15k in commission. A niche Facebook funnel that settles two of those a month pays for itself five times over. The math is ridiculous once it’s set up properly.

Ready to Run Facebook Ads That Actually Settle Loans?

Tell us about your brokerage, the niches you want to own, and what’s been working (or not working) so far. We’ll review it, come back within one business day, and let you know honestly whether we’re the right fit.

If we are, we’ll map out Phase 1: niche, audience, creative, funnel, and the realistic settlement timeline. If we’re not, we’ll tell you that too.
