Google launches Mortgage Lead Generation Facility

By Liam Lally 5th February 2010 Blog & 1 more

Google has just launched a mortgage lead generation faciility in the US. This facility is available to people across 15 US states, and allows the user to compare mortgages from the lenders who have decided to participate. If a customer requests a quote, then the lender pays Google a fee (which I assume will be no different to how websites like money supermarket operate in the UK).

The question is, how long before Google decide to do this in the UK? And what sort of impact will this have on the business models of lead generation websites or comparison websites? Also, how will this affect the Mortgage Broker industry in the UK (which has been through a torrid 18 months).

I suppose only time will tell…

I had the pleasure of attending a Business Club Lincolnshire meeting where Liam was the guest speaker. The subject of the presentation was "Generating Business Through LinkedIn". Liam clearly demonstrated his passion for the subject and his in-depth knowledge of Social Media as a business tool. Liam was very keen to share that knowledge with the group and was very open and helpful when questions were raised. Liam's presentation was very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend him if you are looking for advice or assistance with Social Media for your business.

I have known Liam for around 8 years and have had many conversations about SEO, Google Ad-words and social media. I attended a course on Google Adwords that Liam was running and found that Liam's knowledge of Google Adwords is fantastic and the way he communicated it ensured I left with my head buzzing, full of ideas. I would recommend any of Liam's courses if you are looking for inspiration on anything Google!

I asked Liam to do some search engine optimisation on my website and following his recommendations, my ranking improved considerably to the point where I appeared on the first page of Google. I also invited Liam to be invloved in the design and planning of my new website and the research he has done into search phrases has had a considerable impact on the way the site was constructed and I am pleased to say it is performing well. Liam has a great depth of knowledge and will always research key words and phrases to see if they are worth optimising and his honesty and integrity in this respect are outstanding. Liam is also very personable and I felt he really tried to understand my business before making any suggestions. In short, I would have no hesitation in recommending Liam Lally and Zaddle Internet Marketing to any friends or colleagues.

I recently attended one of Liam's training courses on how to get the best from LinkedIn for business. It was a most informative yet enjoyable morning and I am still not sure how Liam managed to pack so much in to half a day. The pace was just right - lively but totally inclusive - with all the verbal content being backed up by an easy to follow takeaway guide for later use. I look forward to growing my LinkedIn network with all my new knowledge and would thoroughly recommend the course to everyone who is (or wants to be) on LinkedIn.
