Are Paid Ads Right For Your Senior Living Company? (honest)

PPC campaigns rank #1 in effectiveness

The reason that so many senior serving companies are choosing digital marketing as their primary channel to market is simply because it’s fast, actionable, and measurable. There is no other form of traditional advertising that has the reach and capabilities. 

Here’s why we are saying this: 

  • The best bang for your buck! Whether you’re in a position to spend $500 or $5000 a month, digital works. 
  • Targeting your ideal audience has never been easier and the 55+ category is red hot for targeting. 
  • Syndication has achieved a whole new level with paid ads. What your senior living community does on a daily basis makes for some of the most appealing ads.  
  • Digital ads allow the target to take action immediately, right when the desire is at it’s peak. 


What does this all mean?
Senior living companies that invest in paid ads collect twice as many leads as competitors. Think you can’t compete? Think again, we level the playing field by bringing in years of expertise and experience so budget becomes less of a factor.

What is the difference between SEO and SEM?

The key difference between SEM (search engine marketing or Pay-Per-Click / PPC) and SEO (search engine optimization) is whether or not the entity is paying money to the search engine to show up on your search results page or not.

SEM encompasses the entire paid placement aspect on the search engines. When you search for something on Google, you’ll notice that the top spots are often filled with text or images that have the [Ad] label. These are SEM campaigns being ran by people. 

On the other hand, SEO covers the “organic” or earned placements. Most of the traffic on search engines is non-paid organic traffic. You can learn more about our SEO service here.
