1: Lead Capture Forms That Convert 📝

A high-performing mortgage site starts with friction-free forms:

  • Keep it short: Ask only what you truly need—name, email, phone, and loan type.
  • Progressive profiling: Show two or three fields first, and reveal the rest only after the visitor clicks Next.
  • Clear benefit statement: “Get your personalized rate in 60 seconds” outperforms “Contact us” by 212 percent.
  • Automation tip: Use GetMortgageWebsite prebuilt funnels to pipe every submission directly into TheBigBot CRM, triggering an instant email/SMS follow-up.

Quick setup guide

  1. In your GMW dashboard, select Forms → Create New.
  2. Drag the Mortgage Quick Quote template, then toggle CRM Sync to ON.
  3. Map the fields to TheBigBot (Name → Contact Name, Loan Purpose → Custom Field).
  4. Hit Publish—your form is live and automation ready.

2: Built-In Mortgage Calculators 📈

Borrowers love seeing numbers. Offer interactive tools such as

  • Purchase & Refi Payment Calculator
  • Amortization Schedule
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio Finder

Why it matters: Pages with calculators see an average dwell time of 4 minutes versus 1 minute on plain-text pages.

  1. Go to Social Proof → Review Feed in your GMW dashboard.
  2. Connect your Google Business Profile, Zillow, and any other review sites you use.
  3. Choose how you want to display the reviews—Carousel or Grid—and the feed will update automatically.
