One first enquiry, start to finish

A worried question at 9pm. A calm call on Thursday.

Hannah runs Kestrel Home Loans in Ipswich, helping first-home buyers, growing families and people coming off a fixed rate. Chloe and Liam rent in Springfield and have been saving for two years. This is how a 9pm worry becomes a booked call, without Hannah answering emails at night.

Kestrel Home Loans, Hannah, Chloe and Liam are made up to show how it works
9:04pmTuesday

The rent's gone up again, and one question won't go away.

Chloe searches "how much can we borrow first home Ipswich". Hannah has a plain-English guide on exactly that, so that's what Google shows. It doesn't throw a number or a rate at them. It explains what lenders usually look at, says every lender is different, and offers a free call.

  • Guide pages that answer the big questions in general terms
  • No rates, no promises, and you approve every word

How much could we borrow?

Almost everyone asks it first. Every lender works it out a little differently, but most look at the same few things.

    What lenders usually look at
  • Your income
  • What you spend each month
  • Any debts, including card limits
  • Your deposit and savings

One message. Nobody rings a broker at 9pm.

Chloe isn't ready to phone a stranger about money, but typing it out feels fine. The form on the guide asks what they're looking for, then lands in the LocalGenius inbox with the page it came from. An Instagram message from a self-employed tradie came in earlier. Both wait for Hannah in the morning.

  • Every form knows which guide or page it came from
  • Website, chat, email, Facebook and Instagram in one place

Every enquiry is in one inbox, each with the icon of where it came from. Hannah taps her saved reply. It doesn't guess a number by email. It links to her booking tool, so Chloe and Liam pick a time after work, without texts back and forth.

Hannah · 8:15amHi Chloe, thanks for getting in touch, and well done on two years of saving. Every lender looks at things a little differently, so the best first step is a free 20-minute call. I'll ask a few questions and explain what happens next, in plain English. Pick any time that suits you both. Hannah

The call starts with their questions, not a sales pitch.

Chloe and Liam booked Thursday after work, once they'd read the real reviews on Hannah's Google profile. The confirmation came from her own booking tool, with her "What to have handy" guide. When a client settles, Hannah asks for a review by text in one tap.

  • Google profile with your call link and guides, kept up to date
  • Review requests by text or email, sent when you choose

Your pages

Every page they read before they call.

Nobody searches for "a mortgage broker". They search for the question keeping them up: how much, where to start, what happens when the fixed rate ends. Each one gets its own guide in general terms, and nothing goes live until you've read it.

Careful words, because it's lending.

Home loan pages should help people understand, not push them. So guides stay general, and nothing goes live until you've read it.

  • No rates on your pagesGenius doesn't add interest rates, comparison rates or repayment figures.
  • No "approved" promisesNo "guaranteed", no "approved in 24 hours", no "best rate".
  • General, and says soGuides explain what to expect. Your advice happens on the call.
  • Your licence, your wordsYour credit licence details sit in every footer, worded as you give them.

    Questions

    What mortgage brokers ask us.

    $29.99 a month to start

    Four plans, from a simple website to fully managed. Free domain for the first year.

    See all plans →
    Will Genius put rates or approval promises on my site?

    No. Genius writes guides in general terms and leaves out interest rates, repayment figures and promises about approval. If you want something specific on a page, you write it, and you approve it before it goes live.

    Where do my credit licence details go?

    In the footer of every page, and anywhere else you'd like them. You give us the exact wording. Genius doesn't write it for you.

    Do you take my bookings?

    No. Your "Book a free call" buttons and saved reply link to the booking tool you already use, like Calendly or your own link. Your diary, CRM and client files stay where they are.

    Can I ask clients for Google reviews?

    Yes. Send a review request by text or email when you choose, like after settlement. Genius never writes reviews, and your website only shows real ones.

    Tonight, someone's asking "how much?" Be the calm answer they find.

    Get your broking website up, then let LocalGenius look after the guides, the messages, the call link, the reviews and Google.
