Attracting more residents to your assisted living, retirement, or memory care community can be hard. And while seniors have various options to choose from, it’s your job to ensure you do all you can to stand out as the ideal choice.

With the assistance of our search engine optimization (SEO) marketing services, we can help make your community’s website the one they come to!

How We’ve Helped Retirement and Assisted Living Communities with SEO

While we have worked with a variety of industries over the years, we have gained considerable experience helping senior living facilities like yours in our time working with National Church Residences.

For example, we helped Water’s Edge of Lake Wales, located in Florida, through senior living SEO tactics such as implementing Google Analytics goal tracking, creating strong calls to action (CTAs), optimizing page copy, writing blog posts, and more. Through these efforts, we were able to:

  • Increase overall traffic by 138%
  • Increase organic traffic by 96%
  • Increase conversions (form submissions) by 295%

We also worked with a variety of their other communities that offered memory care and assisted living services, which helped us to become experienced at marketing these services both together and separately.

“Sixth City Marketing provided National Church Residences with a full range of services including website design/administration/management, digital marketing, search engine optimization, analytics/metrics/reporting, and much more. Their excellent customer service, speedy turnaround times, and expert advice makes them a valued extension of our in-house team!”

SEO Services We Offer for Senior Care Facilities

In order to get your website where it needs to be in search engines, we can implement the following senior living SEO strategies:

Content Writing

Do you have key pages on your website that target all the services you offer? What about pages that specify the cities and locations you want to attract? These are some starter questions that we use when beginning a content strategy for senior communities. We can optimize your content and add to it through focusing on the keywords you want to rank for, and supplement it as well with blog posts that can further attract seniors to your website.

Conversion Optimization and Design

The way your website is laid out can be a huge factor in getting more leads. And while getting people to your website is certainly key, having them contact you is a whole different ballgame. Our background in design gives us the insight needed to determine what strategic adjustments should be made to your website, whether it involves moving forms, adding calls to action, or anything else.

Technical Adjustments

There are various actions that can be performed behind the scenes of your website that can help make your website more appealing to Google and users alike. From adding schema to using metadata titles and descriptions to improving site speed, a variety of possibilities exist to enhance your online presence.

Goal Tracking Measurement

As we mentioned in our case study, implementing conversion tracking is a key part of SEO to help monitor the success of your campaign. We have the ability to set up Google Analytics, install it on your website, make adjustments to web forms, and put goal tracking in place in your account.

Photo Optimization

A major part of attracting residents to your community is showcasing what your campus and facilities look like. From apartments to common rooms to green areas and more, having various photos on your website is key – but these pics could be missing key metadata that helps search engines “read” them better. Not to mention, the size of your photos also matters in terms of slowing down your website, which can impact your search engine rankings.

Backlink Building

One part of our strategy for senior living communities that we have seen great results from is link building, which is the process of getting other websites to link to your website. This can be through directories, guest posts, and other local businesses you connect with. Having more backlinks can build your trust with Google and help increase your rankings.

Local SEO

To help your facility rank higher on Google Maps and to rank for key terms like “senior living near me,” we also can perform local search engine optimization tactics like managing your local listings, local link building, keyword research, and more to enhance your online presence in the cities that your communities are in.

Brand Awareness

We will use the content we write for your site as a way to gain backlinks from local businesses and other relevant sources to help build up your local authority and get you more known both in your desired area and nationally. We also have tools that help us find unlinked mentions of your brand to ensure you get proper acknowledgement.

The Main Reason You Need SEO for Your Assisted or Independent Living Community

In our current day and age, people of all ages are using the internet to research, buy, and talk about all the things in their lives.

From ensuring that your website gets found when users search for things such as “assisted living near me” or “55+ communities Florida” to even making sure your social media is up to date so current residents can stay in the know, SEO is a vital marketing practice that gives your community or service an edge over your competitors.

Investing in search engine optimization for your senior care facility can be the make or break way to getting new business as companies continue to move away from traditional, fading tactics.
