The Problem

Over-reliance on branded search and word-of-mouth referrals

When JG Mortgages approached us, the business had built a strong reputation locally through referrals and repeat business. However, their online visibility was heavily dependent on branded search traffic, meaning most users already knew the business before finding the website. The site had very limited visibility for non-branded mortgage keywords, particularly local searches related to mortgage advice in Chester. This created a significant barrier to growth, as the business was missing opportunities to appear in front of potential customers actively searching for mortgage brokers and advisors in their area. As a highly localised service business operating in a competitive market, improving visibility within local search results and Google Business Profile listings became a key priority.

LEADING LOCAL SEO AGENCY

If you’re looking to generate more mortgage leads through organic search, we can help. We’re an award-winning finance SEO agency with experience helping mortgage brokers improve local visibility, reduce dependency on paid search and grow qualified enquiries through SEO.

The Solution

Full-service local SEO strategy focused on increasing visibility

We started the campaign with a full local SEO strategy designed to improve JG Mortgages’ visibility for non-branded mortgage searches across Chester and the surrounding area.

This included Google Business Profile audit and optimisation, technical SEO audit and implementation, local keyword research and mapping, competitor analysis, local content strategy, citation building and NAP consistency improvements.

Following the initial strategy phase, we worked on ongoing Google Business Profile management to strengthen local visibility and improve engagement within map results.

Alongside this, we developed a consistent content production strategy focused on mortgage use-case pages, location-specific landing pages, informational blogs targeting first-time buyers, and locally relevant mortgage content aligned with search intent. The campaign also included a structured citation-building strategy to improve trust signals and strengthen local relevance across directories and business listings.

The Results

Strong growth in local organic visibility and qualified mortgage leads

The campaign delivered significant improvements in both organic traffic and lead generation year on year.

Organic search traffic increased by 52%, driven by improved visibility for local mortgage-related searches across the local area.

Organic leads increased by 144%, with the business growing from an average of 4 leads per month to 32 organic leads per month.

Most importantly, JG Mortgages achieved strong local visibility across their core commercial keywords and now ranks prominently for mortgage-related searches throughout their target area.

This helped move the business away from relying solely on referrals and branded traffic, creating a more consistent and scalable lead generation channel through organic search.

what the client has to say

Quirky Digital were recommended by a friend, and I am extremely thankful I was made aware of their expertise. If I could leave a 10-star review, I would.

Their relentless work in the background to help my business grow is second to none, and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and attention to detail to help my business achieve its goals.

I would also wish to provide a special mention to both Ben Duffy & Emily Griffiths, who always keep me updated, as well as offer monthly meetings to discuss our results and plans for the future.
