The digital marketing strategy behind Rocket Mortgage's $5.1 billion success reveals surprising strengths and weaknesses, creating unprecedented opportunities for forward-thinking marketers.While their revenue grew 34% last year, their approach contains a critical flaw that's costing them millions in potential growth despite spending $824 million annually on marketing.For businesses targeting high-value customers in competitive industries, understanding these strategic insights isn't just smart — it's becoming essential.In this episode, I reveal:• The hidden mechanics behind how Rocket achieves crystal-clear value propositions that convert (including how they structure CTAs with specific benefits rather than generic language)• Strategies to build a content marketing engine like Rocket's "Learn" section — which drives 1.4 million monthly organic visits and establishes crucial authority in a regulated industry• Why Rocket's failure to rank for commercial keywords is forcing them to spend millions on paid search — and how to avoid this expensive mistake in your own strategy• The exact content formats that high-converting mortgage sites should feature (based on competitor analysis of top-ranking finance sites)I'll share real-world success stories, including how we've helped mortgage clients implement similar strategies for exponential growth by balancing informational and commercial keyword targeting.As I explain in the pod:"Rocket should be dominating for commercial search terms like 'mortgage lenders' and 'mortgage calculator,' but they're leaving tens of millions in potential revenue on the table. Instead of ranking organically, they're paying millions monthly in PPC and affiliate commissions to get in front of the same customers they could reach for free."If you're ready to implement these strategies while avoiding Rocket's costly SEO mistakes, this episode provides your complete action plan for sustainable, efficient growth in competitive markets.Get the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/353/Listen to these episodes next:How We Earned a 600% Lead Gen Boost for Mortgage Lender in ONLY 4 Monthshttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/326/How Monzo Disrupted a $273B Industry...with Basic Marketinghttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/322/Steal This $7M SEO Strategyhttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/245/

...and there are whispers of the market going negative but one has to wonder is it market movement or is it market manipulation we have discussed the big moves made by Rocket Mortgage to acquire Redfin and Mr Cooper and now is the time that we should take a look at Zillow as they just shared their forecast that home prices may go down nearly 2% next year no has knows for sure but I do find it interesting that Zillow has acquired Follow Up Boss and Showing Time in recent years in an effort to become a seamless 1 stop home buying/selling portal and lets face it - negative news gets clicks online and if consumers belived that prices were about to drop it would create new activity in the housing market buyers would check more intently for deals sellers would be more likely to sell quicker if they felt the price would be lower each month ongoing but here's the thing is it smart for a seller to drop their price dramatically when 1% of $400,000 is just $4,000 even 2% is only $8,000 knowing this, it doesn't make finanical sense to drop their listing price 25k unless they were glaringly over priced I am not saying that the zillow forecast is right or wrong thats for consumers decide but I do find it interesting that it appears to move the ball forward in their grand plan  tune in to today's show for the details

It's no secret that real estate commissions have been in the danger zone for a while now. And with moves like Rocket Mortgage snatching up Redfin, it's clear that real estate professionals need to fight fire with fire. Well thanks to a new dual-licensing program, we might just have the ultimate weapon to turn up the volume on our production!  Most real estate agents have to pass their clients off to a mortgage officer and watch them take a piece of the pie.

A Rocket Mortgage advertisement featuring West Virginia's famous, unofficial song, “Country Roads,” may have not been specifically designed to promote the state during Super Bowl 59, but officials are saying that it definitely helped shed a positive light on it amid the state's growing tourism industry and its goal for more population growth.

When the broadcast returned to the game with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, over 65,000 fans had broken out into a live rendition of the song. “It was absolutely incredible, no matter which team you were cheering for, I think all of us can agree that West Virginia was the big winner of the night,” Ruby said.

A news-filled Tuesday leads to an extra long episode as there's plenty to catch up on before Part 7 of the Year in Review. Andy and Brendan discuss Jay Monahan's video statement on the state of the PGA Tour entering 2025, Blades Brown forgoing college to turn pro, and the Tour's new search for a CEO, as discussed on Golf Channel by CMO Andy Weitz. There's also some preview content of "The Showdown" ahead of Tuesday night's festivities, and Andy is still reeling following a Bears loss on Monday Night Football. The Year in Review picks up with the Memorial Tournament (44:51), as Andy recalls Scottie Scheffler's first PGA Tour win after the month of April. Jack Nicklaus was upset about the tournament's place on the schedule ahead of the U.S. Open, Jon Rahm's foot gets a hole in it, and the Cleeks finally win a LIV event this week. From there, it's a beefy U.S. Open segment with PJ, Brendan, and Andy attempting to do the Event of the Year justice. PJ shares the early-week scuttlebutt, including a look back at Brendan's attempts to cancel Putter Boy. Brendan takes the lead on the Thursday and Friday action, recapping some shot-of-the-year candidates and memories from Pinehurst. Andy researches an all-time weekend, unearthing Bryson's need for treatment during the Saturday round before going blow-by-blow on the finish between Bryson and Rory. With the Travelers up next, PJ takes the northeast's only event, another Scottie Scheffler win that was derailed by protesters storming the 18th green on Sunday afternoon. He also makes some stops for LIV Nashville content in the aftermath of Bryson's win. Andy shares details of Cam Davis's unsuccessful quest for the Presidents Cup with a win at the Rocket Mortgage before diving into Blandemonium at the U.S. Senior Open. Finally, Brendan ends the show with some quick hits from the John Deere Championship.

A federal agency is suggesting that lenders foot the bill for title insurance instead of home buyers. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says that home buyers are paying way too much for something that protects lenders. But skeptics are pushing back, saying if lenders are forced to pay, a change in the rules won't have the desired result and won't do much for housing affordability.   Hi!

And if you haven't yet, subscribe to this podcast on your favorite platform so you won't miss an episode.    Now, back to our story about title insurance, which is required by lenders to verify ownership and whether there are any liens on the property. It typically costs about $2,000 for a median-priced home. But according to Rocket Mortgage, it can vary from state to state and can range from half-a-percent to 1%. So let's say you're buying a $500,000 home and you need title insurance. If it costs half-a-percent of the home price, that's $2,500, and at 1%, $5,000.    As reported by The Real Deal, buyers often overlook the cost of title insurance so it comes as a surprise. And here's the rub, if there's no loan, owner's title insurance only costs about $200, which is what the CFPB is concerned about – that homebuyers are being overcharged for title insurance...   Links:   1 - https://therealdeal.com/national/2024/04/19/consumer-bureau-pushes-for-title-insurance-reform/   2 -  https://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/news/what-happens-if-the-cfpb-makes-lenders-pay-title-insurance
