Quick answer

Which financial advice niches scale best with paid media?

Protection, mortgage, and retirement planning scale fastest; HNW wealth management, DB pension transfer, and estate planning are slower but higher-value.

Scalable (volume)

  • Protection: 20-50 pounds CPL
  • Mortgage (standard): 35-90 pounds CPL
  • Retirement planning: 90-180 pounds CPL

Slower-scale (value)

  • Wealth management: 240-480 pounds CPL but 10-20x LTV
  • DB transfer: 150-350 pounds CPL, 3-8k pounds fee per case
  • IHT planning: 120-280 pounds CPL, 2-5k pounds fee

Rule of thumb

Start in a scalable niche to generate cash, layer in value niches as LTV data matures.
