For years, mortgage brokers have heard about blogging. Some gave it a go, most ignored it, and many decided it was “dead.” But here’s the reality: blogging is not dead. In fact, if you’re a mortgage advisor in 2025, blogging has become one of the most important tools you can use to generate leads and future-proof your business.

If you’re not publishing blogs right now, you’re missing out on one of the most powerful ways to get discovered, not just by Google, but by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity.

Let’s break down why blogging matters more than ever for mortgage brokers and how you can use it to generate consistent leads on autopilot.

Why Does AI Search Make Blogging Essential for Mortgage Brokers?

The single biggest reason blogging is vital today is that AI search engines pull answers directly from blogs and articles online.

When a potential client types a question into ChatGPT or Google Gemini, those platforms scan the web for trusted, high-quality content. If you don’t have blogs on your site, you simply don’t exist in those search results.

That means your competitors who are blogging consistently are going to be recommended, not you.

For example, one of my clients was recently surfaced in AI search results as the best mortgage broker for limited company buy-to-let mortgages. They didn’t pay for ads. They didn’t chase introducers. They were recommended because their blog content existed, was indexed, and was seen as authoritative.

No blogs equals no visibility in AI search and no AI-driven leads.

How Does Blogging Help Mortgage Brokers with Traditional SEO?

AI search might be the new kid on the block, but let’s not forget traditional search engines like Google.

People are still searching for terms like:

• best mortgage broker for first-time buyers in the UK

• remortgage options for self-employed people

• how much deposit do I need for buy-to-let

When you write blogs that answer these questions, you give yourself a chance to rank in organic Google results. But now, the same blogs can also be pulled into AI-generated answers.

That is a double win: you show up in traditional search and in the new wave of AI recommendations.

If you’re ignoring blogging, you’re essentially choosing to be invisible in both.

How Can Blogging Build Authority for Mortgage Brokers?

Every blog you write is proof of expertise.

Imagine a potential client is comparing you with another broker. One has 50 in-depth blogs answering client questions, and the other has none. Who looks more credible?

Search engines and AI platforms think the same way. The more relevant content you publish, the more authority you build in your niche. That authority compounds over time.

Inside my Mortgage Business Mastery System, we focus on flooding the system with content. Long-term clients aim for a minimum of 260 blogs. That might sound extreme, but it’s what builds dominance in search results.

If you’re not producing content, you’re giving your competitors the chance to become the trusted authority while you disappear into the background.

Can Blogs Really Generate Leads While Mortgage Brokers Sleep?

Yes, and this is where blogs differ from other forms of lead generation.

Paid ads stop the second you turn them off. Buying leads dries up the moment you stop paying. Introducer referrals depend on relationships you don’t fully control.

But a well-written, evergreen blog post can generate traffic, inquiries, and leads for years.

And now, with AI tools actively recommending blog content, those leads don’t just come from people typing into Google. They also come from AI systems sending prospects directly to your site.

Here’s an example.

One of my clients asked ChatGPT whether a popular social media course by Ali Abdaal was suitable for mortgage brokers. ChatGPT replied that Ali’s course was great, but if you’re a mortgage broker, you should check out Ash Borland.

That happened because I had consistent, relevant blogs online that AI could recognise.

Blogs turn into digital salespeople that work 24/7 without extra cost.

How Can Mortgage Brokers Repurpose Blogs Into More Content?

One of the most overlooked benefits of blogging is that a single blog can fuel your entire content engine.

Here’s how mortgage brokers can repurpose blogs:

• Turn each blog into Instagram carousels with key points.

• Break it down into short-form videos for TikTok, Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

• Share it as a LinkedIn post to reach professional audiences.

• Use it as a newsletter to nurture your email list.

• Record a podcast episode expanding on the same points.

By starting with a blog, you create a foundation for all your other marketing channels. That is why I always recommend mortgage advisors build a habit of blogging. It makes every other piece of content easier.

Do People Actually Read Mortgage Broker Blogs?

You might be wondering: “That’s all great, but do people really sit down and read a thousand-word mortgage blog in 2025?”

Here’s the truth.

• Some do. And those who read are often serious buyers. A client who reads a detailed blog on income protection for mortgage borrowers is highly motivated and informed. They’re not a time-waster.

• But even if they don’t, AI does. Every blog you write is being scanned, indexed, and potentially used to shape AI-generated answers.

That means whether or not humans read every word, the effort still pays off.

And when clients do read, they arrive at calls more educated, more open to your fees, and more willing to accept your protection recommendations.

How Do Blogs Help Mortgage Brokers Generate Demand Leads?

In my Mortgage Business Mastery System, I teach brokers that there are three main types of leads:

1. Referral leads from past clients

2. Brand leads from people who follow your content and brand

3. Demand leads from people actively searching for help right now

Blogging directly fuels demand leads. These are people who are already motivated, searching, and ready to take action.

When your blog answers their exact question at the right time, you become the obvious choice for their next step. And unlike referrals, demand leads are predictable and scalable.

What’s the Risk of Ignoring Blogging as a Mortgage Broker?

The biggest risk is irrelevance.

Search behaviour is changing. More people are moving away from traditional Google searches and towards AI assistants. If you don’t have blogs, you won’t be recommended.

Meanwhile, brokers who are blogging consistently are quietly building an unbeatable advantage. Over time, they’ll dominate search visibility, AI recommendations, and client trust.

By the time you realise you’re invisible, it may be too late to catch up.

Is Blogging Old School or the Future for Mortgage Brokers?

Blogging isn’t old school. It’s the foundation of the future.

It’s true that AI may eventually index and recommend video content more effectively. YouTube is another platform you shouldn’t ignore. But right now, the most reliable way to be recommended by AI search is to have high-quality blogs published on your site.

Think of blogging as your ticket to relevance in the AI age.

Even if you’ve fallen off the blog bandwagon in the past, now is the time to get back on, because the brokers who start today will own tomorrow’s search results.

Final Thoughts: Why Mortgage Advisors Must Start Blogging Now

Blogging in 2025 isn’t about vanity. It’s not about filling your website with fluff. It’s about positioning yourself for AI-driven discovery, building authority, and generating demand leads that come in on autopilot.

• AI search engines pull from blogs

• Blogs still drive traditional Google SEO

• Every blog builds 24/7 authority

• Blogs generate leads while you sleep

• One blog fuels multiple marketing channels

• Blogs educate clients and filter out time-wasters

• Ignoring blogs means losing demand leads in the AI era

If you want to grow your mortgage business, build your brand, and stay visible in a world where AI decides who gets recommended, you cannot afford to sleep on blogging.

Start small if you need to. One blog a week. Answer the questions your clients are already asking. Over time, you’ll build a library of authority content that AI can’t ignore.

Because in the next phase of the internet, if you’re not showing up in AI search, you’re not showing up at all.
