Marketing for financial planners: choose websites, SEO, Google Ads or branding around the customers you want to reach.
How it works
Choose a priority service, the customers you want and the places you serve.
Share your goals for financial planners so the provider can assess the scope and availability.
Agree the work, price and timeline with your partner, then measure the enquiries that fit your business.
Get found and win work
Financial planning clients are entrusting you with their future, so trust and referrals drive nearly all new business. Accountants, mortgage brokers, solicitors and satisfied clients are your strongest lead sources, and nurturing those relationships matters more than mass advertising. A polished website, genuine reviews and clear explanations of your services and fees reassure prospects before they ever book a meeting.
Helpful, plain-English content about super, retirement and investing — through email newsletters, seminars or LinkedIn — builds authority and keeps you top of mind for the moment a client is ready to seek advice.
Choosing a starting point
For financial planners, consider the journey of a prospective client checking expertise before discussing an engagement. Make it easy to check team credentials, service specialisms and client examples published with permission and request help. Choose the channel around that journey, then measure a suitable consultation request or new client enquiry.
Customers cannot understand your services or complete an enquiry on your current site.
Check before committing: Mobile enquiry delivery, content responsibilities, domain access and the handover.
Relevant customers search for your services, but your useful service pages are hard to find.
Check before committing: Search intent, an initial visibility baseline and qualified enquiries over time.
You want to test demand for a defined service and can fund and respond to a limited campaign.
Check before committing: Spending limits, search-term exclusions, landing pages and conversion quality.
Your identity is inconsistent or unreadable across the places customers see your business.
Check before committing: Real-size applications, revision limits, file formats and usage rights.
Ask for setup and ongoing fees separately, including advertising spend, hosting and software licences. Keep access to your domain, analytics and advertising accounts. Agree approval stages, reporting, cancellation terms and what is handed over when the work ends.

Common questions
Largely through referrals from accountants, brokers and existing clients, backed by a credible website and genuine reviews. People want an adviser they trust, so reputation and relationships do most of the selling.
Building referral relationships and staying in regular contact with clients through helpful, educational content tends to outperform broad advertising. Seminars, newsletters and plain-English explainers position you as the trusted expert.
No. Start with the customer problem: a confusing website, weak visibility for relevant searches, a paid-demand test or inconsistent branding. Fix the main bottleneck first and add another channel when you can measure its contribution and respond to the extra enquiries.
Ask for a breakdown of setup, ongoing work, advertising spend, hosting and software subscriptions. Document deliverables, revision limits, reporting, account ownership and exit terms. A free introduction does not mean the provider’s work is free or has no contract.
For this business type, start with a suitable consultation request or new client enquiry. Record whether the request fits your services, what it cost to acquire and what happened next. Traffic, rankings and clicks are supporting measures rather than proof of revenue.
