Google review automation for Australian mortgage brokers
A settlement is one of the happiest days in a client’s life, and most brokers let it pass without ever asking for a review. That is the single biggest missed marketing opportunity in the industry.
After: first home loan settlement

Typical volume
4–25 settlements per month
If you run a brokerage, this will sound familiar
- Settlement day is pure joy and you never capture it
- Aggregator marketing does nothing for your individual Google profile
- Your best clients refer you verbally but leave nothing public
- Comparison shoppers pick the broker with visible social proof
- You mean to ask, then the next deal starts and the moment is gone
Why this works for mortgage brokers specifically
Timing is everything here and settlement day is the peak. We trigger on settlement confirmation rather than approval, because approval is relief but settlement is joy — and joy is what makes people write two paragraphs instead of clicking away. First home buyers in particular write outstanding, specific, emotional reviews if you catch them on the day.
How customers in your trade actually search
“Mortgage broker near me”, “first home buyer broker [suburb]”, “refinance broker” — borrowers shop brokers the way they shop everything else now, and they are comparing three or four before booking a call. With commissions where they are, a single extra settlement a month from better visibility transforms a brokerage’s year.

Busy month? Add more requests
$1 per requestTop up Essential or Professional in blocks of 110 — Dominate is already unlimited. No markup for buying small, and we'll warn you before you hit your limit rather than letting you find out the hard way.
Top-ups don't roll over. Your allowance resets each billing month and anything unused expires. If you're finishing every month with plenty left, tell us — we'll move you down a plan.
The 30-Day Review Guarantee
Send at least 20 eligible customers through the system in your first 30 days. If you don't receive at least 3 new genuine Google reviews in that time, we refund your first month in full.
No retention call, no "let us try one more thing", no partial credit. You email us, we refund you. We've written the full terms in plain English rather than burying them.
What "eligible" means
- A real customer you actually served in the period
- A valid Australian mobile number or email address
- Not previously asked and not on your suppression list
- Consent captured in line with the Spam Act
We ask for 20 because below that the sample is too small for anyone to draw a fair conclusion — including you.
Mortgage Brokers — your questions
Industry-specific answers first, then the ones everyone asks.
Does this comply with my ACL, aggregator and best-interests obligations?
Asking for an honest, unincentivised review is not credit assistance and does not engage NCCP advertising rules the way a testimonial-based ad would. That said, most aggregators have their own marketing approval processes, and messages go out in your name — so run your templates past your aggregator’s compliance team before you launch. We will supply the exact wording for that.
Can I mention loan amounts or rates in the message?
No, and we will not build a template that does. Nothing about the client’s financial position appears in any message. The request references the milestone only.
I only settle six loans a month. Is the volume worth it?
Six settlements a month at a good response rate is roughly two to three reviews a month — around thirty a year. For a brokerage with eleven reviews today, that is transformative within a year. Run the numbers in the calculator on our home page before you decide.
Do I need a CRM or job management software?
No. Most of our clients run on a phone and a notepad. We give you a Job Complete link you save to your home screen — type the customer’s name and mobile, pick who did the work, hit send. Ten seconds. If you do use ServiceM8, Simpro, Fergus, AroFlo, Tradify or Xero, we can connect it so requests fire automatically when you mark a job complete.
How fast can I be live?
Within one business day of you completing onboarding. We need your business name, your Google Business Profile link, and the first names of your team. We write and test your message templates, send you a live test to your own phone, and switch you on once you approve it.
How does the 30-Day Review Guarantee work?
Send at least 20 eligible customers through the system in your first 30 days. If you do not receive at least 3 new genuine Google reviews in that period, we refund your first month in full. No arguing, no retention call. The full terms are on our Guarantee page and we have deliberately written them in plain English.
Is this legal under Australian spam laws?
Yes, and we take it seriously. Under the Spam Act 2003 you need consent, accurate sender identification and a working unsubscribe. Your customers have an existing business relationship with you, every message clearly identifies your business, and replying STOP unsubscribes them instantly and permanently across all future messages. We will not send to a purchased list.
Does this breach Google’s review policies?
No. Google prohibits incentivised reviews, fake reviews and review gating. We do none of those. Google explicitly permits asking your customers for honest reviews — it is in their own Business Profile guidance. We ask every eligible customer the same way and we never filter by expected sentiment.
