Quick answer

What is lead generation for financial advisers?

Lead generation for financial advisers is the process of attracting prospective clients (pension, investment, mortgage, protection) through paid media, content and referral systems, and converting them into booked fact-finds.

Lead generation for a UK IFA firm covers the full chain from first impression to booked fact-find: paid media on Meta/Google/LinkedIn, FCA-compliant landing pages, lead forms, CRM routing, email nurture and adviser callbacks. The best systems treat the fact-find as the conversion event — not the form fill — and measure CAC all the way to enrolment.
