Episode description
In this episode of The MLO Project, Frazier and Michael McAllister go coast-to-coast—from Idaho to Georgia—to break down what’s really happening with Google Ads in the mortgage game.
They tackle rising ad costs, how AI is changing search behavior, and why most LOs are wasting money on outdated strategies. If you’re not using long-tail keywords and thinking about conversions before clicks, you’re already behind.
They also dive into the future of AI-powered ad platforms—and how to win with a mix of paid and organic.
This is a must-listen for any mortgage pro trying to stay sharp in a shifting digital landscape.
