Financial promotions need a careful hand
In the UK, adverts and web pages for regulated activity count as financial promotions, and the FCA expects them to be clear, fair and not misleading. Who may approve a promotion depends on your authorisation. We draft from facts you supply, avoid return claims and guarantees, and flag lines for your compliance contact or consultant. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
How people look for an adviser
Searches are often local and specific: a pension review, retirement planning, mortgage help, or an independent adviser near the searcher's town. People check whether the firm is authorised, how it charges and whether an introductory call costs anything. Your pages should say so plainly. We write and structure them around those questions, with fee wording that is easy to find in the UK.
Year-end, Self Assessment and bookkeeping demand in the UK
The UK year runs on fixed dates. Searches for bookkeepers and Self Assessment help climb ahead of the January deadline and around the April tax year-end. Making Tax Digital rules push small firms to look for software-ready bookkeepers. Pension and ISA questions rise before the tax year closes. We schedule campaigns ahead of those moments, and ease off when demand fades.
Reporting, with VAT stated
Our and name the source of every call and form enquiry, then trace to booked meetings and new clients where your records allow. Our own fees are shown with VAT stated plainly. Credit unions and banks can see applications and branch-visit requests alongside the usual leads. You decide where the next pound goes with real numbers in front of you in the UK.
Questions to put to any agency before you sign
Ask who will actually do the work, and whether you will have access to every account. Ask how drafts reach your compliance contact, and how long you must stay if you want to stop. Request a sample report and check whether it names enquiries, meetings and clients or just clicks. A sound agency will answer plainly, will not promise rankings and will explain how reports trace results back to the work done in the UK.
Referrals from accountants and solicitors, then a search in the UK
Much of the work for UK advisers and bookkeepers starts with a recommendation from an accountant, a solicitor, an employer or a friend. The next step is usually a search for the firm's name. Your website then has to confirm the recommendation: who you are, how you charge, which services you cover and how to arrange a first conversation. We make that check easy to pass, and set up tracking so referred enquiries are counted too.
Planning the first ninety days in plain terms
The first month is usually set-up: access, tracking, an audit of the website and a plan for pages and ads. The second tends to bring new pages, wording agreed with your compliance contact and early campaigns. By the third, there is enough data to see which searches and pages produce calls and booked meetings. We report what the numbers show at each stage, say plainly when something has not worked and make no promise about outcomes. Your compliance contact sees every change before it goes live in the UK.
Questions about this hub
Is HeyLead FCA authorised? expand_more
No. HeyLead is a marketing agency, not an adviser, and we do not give financial advice. Regulated activity stays with your authorised firm, and we name your regulator on pages only where you tell us it applies in the UK.
Who signs off financial promotions? expand_more
Your firm does. We prepare drafts and point out wording that needs checking, but approval and responsibility sit with you and your compliance support. We will not publish anything you have not approved in the UK.
Do you work with credit unions as well as advisers? expand_more
Yes. Credit unions, small banks, independent advisers and bookkeepers all need different pages and different proof. We scope the work to suit your size, your approval process and your regulator in the UK.
Can you guarantee enquiries or rankings? expand_more
No. Nobody can promise a search position, and we do not make return or performance claims for your clients. We promise clear tracking and honest reporting on what the work produced in the UK.
What do you need to begin? expand_more
Ask for the free audit. We review your website, search presence, ads and tracking, and we need view access to analytics and any ad accounts. You then receive a short, ordered list of fixes with no obligation in the UK.
Do you work with firms that are appointed representatives? expand_more
Yes. If your firm operates under a principal, that principal may need to review or approve your marketing. We build that step into the schedule, send drafts early and keep approved wording on record in the UK.
Can you help a credit union explain membership clearly? expand_more
Yes. We can build pages about who can join, what products exist and how to apply, written in plain English. Any figures, rates or eligibility rules come from you and are signed off by your team before publication in the UK.
Is Google Ads allowed for financial advice firms? expand_more
Google applies its own policies to financial services advertising, and these can change, so we check the current rules for each campaign. Some UK advertisers may need to be verified before ads run. We will tell you what is required, and your firm remains responsible for what the ads say.
