You know the content. "In today's competitive mortgage landscape, it's important to stay ahead of the curve." Delete. Nobody reads that. Nobody shares it. Nobody thinks "wow, I need to call this loan officer."
That's the AI content problem. The tool is incredible, but most people use it to generate bland, interchangeable content that sounds like every other LO's feed. And in mortgage, where trust is everything, sounding generic is the fastest way to become invisible.
The good news? AI content creation doesn't have to be like this. When you use it correctly, you can produce more content in less time while sounding more like yourself, not less. Here's how smart LOs are doing it inside HighLevel.
Let's name it directly: the problem isn't that AI writes bad content. It's that most people accept the first draft and hit publish.
Default AI output has tells. Overuse of "leverage" and "navigate." Lists that all start the same way. That weird, overly enthusiastic tone that sounds like a LinkedIn influencer who's never closed a loan. Borrowers can smell it. Realtor partners definitely can.
But here's what most LOs miss: AI is a drafting tool, not a publishing tool. The magic happens when you combine AI speed with your actual expertise, opinions, and voice.
Here's the approach that works: let AI do 70% of the work, then you add the 30% that makes it yours.
This 30% is what separates content that converts from content that gets scrolled past. A post about "why now is a great time to buy" is forgettable. A post about "why three of my buyers in [your city] just locked rates under 6% and what that means for you" is compelling.
Read your content out loud. If it doesn't sound like something you'd actually say to a borrower sitting across your desk, rewrite it. AI gives you speed. You give it soul.
Let's get specific about what to produce and how AI fits into each content type.
This is where AI shines brightest for mortgage. Writing a 12-email nurture sequence for past clients used to take a full day. With AI, you can draft the entire sequence in an hour, then spend another hour personalizing each email with your voice and local market details.
Inside HighLevel, you can feed these directly into your workflow automations. Write once, nurture thousands. The key: make every email sound like it came from you, not a marketing department.
Most LOs post once a week because creating content feels like a chore. AI flips this. Give it one topic and ask for five variations: a story post, a tip post, a myth-buster, a question post, and a testimonial framework. You now have a week of content from 15 minutes of work.
Pro tip: always add a personal sentence or two. "I just had a client ask me about this yesterday" makes a generic tip feel like insider knowledge.
Long-form content is where most LOs give up entirely. It takes too long. AI changes the economics. Use it to research keywords, build outlines, and draft sections. Then add your expertise, local data, and opinions. A 1,000-word blog post that used to take four hours now takes one.
Even if you're comfortable on camera, scripting takes time. AI can draft a 60-second video script from a blog post or email in seconds. You read it, tweak it to sound like you, and record. This is how some LOs in our community post three to four videos per week without burning out.
Short-form is deceptively hard. Getting a follow-up text to sound natural and compelling in 160 characters requires craft. AI can generate 10 variations in seconds. Pick the best one, adjust, and plug it into your HighLevel SMS workflows.
The quality of AI content starts with the quality of your prompts. Here's what separates good prompts from bad ones:
"Write a social media post about mortgage rates."
You'll get something generic that could apply to any LO in any market.
"Write a Facebook post for first-time homebuyers in Boise, Idaho. Tone: conversational, slightly funny, zero jargon. Mention that rates just dipped below 6% this week and explain what that means for monthly payments on a $350K home. End with a soft CTA to DM me. Keep it under 150 words."
See the difference? Specificity is everything. Include your market, your audience, your tone, your CTA, and your constraints. The more context you give, the less editing you do.
Create a document with your best prompts organized by content type. Email prompts, social prompts, blog prompts, SMS prompts. When you need content, grab the right prompt, update the details, and generate. This turns content creation into a repeatable system instead of a creative struggle every time.
Here's where it all comes together. HighLevel lets you build content directly into your marketing workflows:
Let's draw some clear lines.
Here's a realistic content calendar for an LO using AI inside HighLevel:
Total weekly time: about two hours. That's less time than most LOs spend scrolling social media. And you're producing more content than 95% of your competition.
AI content creation isn't about replacing your voice. It's about amplifying it. The LOs who figure out how to use AI as a drafting partner while keeping their personality in the final product will dominate their markets. Not because their content is perfect, but because they're actually showing up consistently while everyone else is stuck staring at a blank screen.
Start with one content type. Master the prompt. Build the workflow in HighLevel. Then expand. Two months from now, you'll wonder how you ever did content without it.
