With all of the places to market your mortgage business online these days it can get overwhelming. There are so many places to run ads and videos to try and get ahead of your competition. Many of these tactics may have quick results on new business, as long as you keep paying for the ads. One of the most beneficial places to have your business ranking is Google and Google Maps. No surprise there and structured data can improve your mortgage website ranking. Getting to the number 1 spot is not easy, it is a long-term play. It will not happen over night and it may cost quite a bit to get done it for you. It also takes a lot of darn work to stay there. There is nothing worse than one day ranking well on Google and then all of sudden you drop down the list. Seeing your competitors higher than you on Google should piss you off a little bit. Make sure you are tracking your rankings every week in order to avoid dropping to far.

We are very transparent with our clients on what SEO is and what it takes to rank. It is tough to spend a lot of money on a service you do not fully understand and we get that. I hate spending my money without knowing the exact value I am getting.

I cannot cover everything that goes into Local SEO for your mortgage business in one blog post but I will be writing a few articles over the next few weeks that will help you understand some of things that are important to do. I have personally setup all of the SEO for Vonk Digital, which does very well so I like to think I can add some value here.

Structured Data is probably something you have never heard of. However, structured data can improve your mortgage website ranking. Any “local business” should implement this on their website. Structured data tells Google things like the name of your business, type of business, physical location, opening hours. You can test your website on Googles structured data testing tool. Google will also help you develop the HTML code you need to add to your website but there is an easier way. If your mortgage website is built on WordPress like ours, then just buy this plugin to make this process simple: Local SEO for wordpress. We include this plugin in our Mortgage Website SEO Service.

I co-founded Vonk Digital in 2011 after helping my brother and his business partners build a web presence for their small mortgage brokerage. After realizing this was something I really enjoyed doing I was fortunate enough to take this venture on full time and we have been growing ever since!
