Why Digital Marketing Matters for Financial Advisors
From market demographics to digital technology, how prospects and clients engage with your brand has changed — and their expectations are clear.
People want to work with financial advisors who are in tune with today’s technology. They want a professional who meets them at their level. Most importantly, clients and prospects want to connect with someone they can trust.
So, how do you build and maintain trust with a prospect you’ve never met or a client you can’t meet in person?
You use digital marketing that attracts, engages, and builds relationships — on their terms.
That means:
-
A consistent online presence
-
Frequent engagement on social media
Use the best digital marketing tools available to reach your audience effectively. Here are five must-have digital marketing tools you should be using.
1. Build Trust with a Modern, Responsive Website
Do you remember when first impressions were made face-to-face? Now, many of your future clients are introduced to your brand online.
This makes a modern, responsive website the foundation of your digital marketing strategy.
To get the most out of your website, it needs to:
-
Be professional and polished
-
Instill confidence
-
Include built-in SEO
-
Promote your brand
-
Attract leads
-
Connect with clients
And yes, it should also be easy to maintain and edit.
That may sound like a tall order—but not with FMG’s website services. You get:
-
An easy-to-use dashboard
-
Compliance integrations
-
A robust content library
-
Tools for blogging and event promotions
2. Connect with Clients Through Email Marketing
Email remains one of the most effective ways to reach clients and prospects. When done well, it creates real engagement and delivers measurable ROI.
To succeed, your email campaigns must be valuable, personalized, and consistent with your brand. Whether you’re promoting a blog post, requesting referrals, or nurturing client relationships, FMG’s email marketing tools help you automate and personalize your messaging to keep your audience engaged.
3. Leverage Social Media to Engage Prospects
Social media offers advisors an excellent opportunity to connect and engage with prospects where they’re already spending time.
With FMG’s social media solutions, you’ll benefit from consistent branding, pre-written posts (like Monthly Market Insights), and tools for automated scheduling. This makes it easy to stay active across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more—without it becoming a full-time job.
4. Automate Marketing to Save Time and Scale
Digital marketing can be overwhelming—especially when you’re wearing multiple hats. Automation helps streamline your efforts so you can focus on growing your business.
FMG’s all-in-one platform integrates with CRMs like Redtail and Salesforce, enabling you to automate communication across email, social media, and your website. This not only saves time but also makes your marketing more strategic and scalable.
5. Boost Visibility with Advanced SEO Techniques
SEO is essential for getting discovered online. However, staying current with keywords, algorithms, and trends can be a full-time job.
FMG’s SEO Foundations solution helps you navigate all of it—auditing your site, optimizing content, and aligning your SEO across platforms. With better visibility comes more traffic, more leads, and more opportunities to grow.
