What is the best channel for financial adviser marketing in the UK?
For UK financial advisers, the best channel depends on average client value. Mass-market mortgages work best on Meta (£60-£120 CPL). High-value pensions and wealth work on LinkedIn (£280-£420 CPL) and Google Search (£90-£240 CPL). SEO and referral pay back over 6-12 months; paid pays back in weeks.
