The Problem

Families Compare Communities Online Long Before They Call You

It shows up when tour requests come mostly through paid referral services, while families searching for memory care or assisted living near a parent's home don't reach your site.

  1. Care levels

    One services page mixes assisted living and memory care together.

    Care levels

    Each care level you offer gets its own page with daily life details.

  2. Monthly fee

    Families can't tell what the monthly fee covers before calling.

    Monthly fee

    A plain page lists what the monthly fee includes and what costs extra.

  3. Listings

    Google Maps still shows the old name after a rebrand.

    Listings

    Each community gets one accurate profile with its current name and photos.

  4. Tours

    Nobody knows which page produced last month's tours.

    Tours

    Tour requests are tracked from each page into your sales CRM.

A daughter in another state searches for memory care near her mother's town after a fall. She finds referral websites and a national chain. Your community has a secure memory care wing, but your site shows one stock photo and a contact form. Nothing explains what the monthly fee includes or how a tour works. She fills in a referral site's form instead. Three communities call her within the hour, and yours pays a fee if she chooses you.

We start with the care you actually provide and the families who choose it. Each care level gets a page on daily life, staffing, and what the monthly fee covers, with real photos. Each community gets an accurate Business Profile. Tour requests and calls are tracked into Sherpa, WelcomeHome, or Yardi. Families reach your sales team directly, not through a service that bills you for the move-in.

  • A page per care level

    Independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite pages that families can compare before calling.

  • Every community on Maps

    One accurate Business Profile per community, with real photos, hours, and the care levels offered.

  • Tours tracked to your CRM

    Tour requests and calls traced from the page into Sherpa, WelcomeHome, or Yardi Senior Living.

Our Senior Living SEO Process

From Community Audit to Booked Tours in Five Clear Steps

Your executive director approves the care levels and every page, your sales team confirms tour and fee details, and each month you see tours and move-in inquiries by page.

  1. We search the way an adult child would, from the parent's town and from out of state. We check each Business Profile, test the tour form on a phone, and report lost inquiries.

Projects We've Built

Healthcare apps and property websites from our team, with booking and listing screens. None is presented as an SEO result or a senior living client.

What's Included

What You Get With SEO for Assisted Living Communities

A monthly program for senior living communities: care level and fee explainer pages, community listings, review replies, and tour tracking. Every page is written for the adult children who research first.

  • Care level pages

    Independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite, and skilled nursing pages for the care you're licensed to provide.

  • Monthly fee explainer

    What the monthly fee includes, what costs extra, and how a care assessment changes the price.

  • Floor plan and amenity pages

    Apartment layouts, dining, activities, and real photos, so families can picture daily life before the tour.

  • Business Profile per community

    Each community listed once with its current name, photos, hours, and the care levels it offers.

  • Review replies for families

    Reply drafts that thank residents and families without sharing health or care details in public.

  • Tour and call tracking

    Tour requests and calls tracked into Sherpa, WelcomeHome, or Yardi, with the page each family read first.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built and launched websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Senior Living Teams Trust Us With Their Search

Families make one of their hardest decisions from these pages, and housing and health rules apply to what you publish. These habits keep every page honest and every resident's details private.

  • Written for adult children

    Most first searches come from a son or daughter planning care for a parent. Pages answer their questions on safety, cost, and daily life plainly.

  • Fair Housing checked wording

    Housing ads can't signal who is welcome, and 55-plus wording needs a community that qualifies under HOPA. We check every page against those rules before launch.

  • Care Compare stated exactly

    Skilled nursing pages show CMS Care Compare star ratings exactly as published, or not at all. Families check Medicare's site, and a mismatch costs trust.

  • Real photos only

    We use photos of your apartments, dining room, and residents who agreed to appear. Stock photos make families doubt the tour.

  • Resident details stay private

    Review replies and tracking leave out every resident's health and care details. Inquiry forms collect what your sales team needs, and nothing goes to ad tools.

  • Community-owned accounts

    Your website, listings, and analytics belong to your company from day one. If you switch providers, every page, photo, and the care level map stay with you.

Good fit

  • Independent assisted living communities

    Your community loses nearby assisted living searches to national chains, and you want SEO for senior living that books tours without referral fees.

  • Operators with several communities

    Your company runs communities in several towns, and you need a senior living SEO service that keeps each community's listing, care levels, and photos accurate.

  • Retirement and life plan communities

    You run a retirement community with independent living and on-site care, and you want retirement community SEO that explains entrance fees and contracts clearly.

  • Skilled nursing and rehab centers

    Your nursing home relies on hospital discharge planners, and you want a nursing home SEO company that helps families find your short-term rehab beds.

  • Agencies with senior living clients

    Your agency runs paid social for senior living communities, and you need senior living community SEO delivered quietly under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Site too slow or dated

    Your site is slow, hard to read for older visitors, or broken on phones. Our Senior Living Website Design service rebuilds it before search work starts.

  • Home care agency

    You send caregivers into clients' homes rather than running a community. Home care searches work differently, and our Healthcare SEO service fits them better.

  • Paying per move-in only

    You want to pay only when a resident moves in. Referral services work that way, while our monthly program charges no fee per resident.

  • Budget under $850 a month

    Your marketing budget is below our first plan. If your occupancy is full and your waitlist steady, we'll tell you before we quote.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on senior living search: cost, timing, care level pages, Fair Housing wording, Care Compare ratings, reviews, and tours.

  • It builds the pages and listings families find when they research care for a parent. That means a page for each care level, a monthly fee explainer, floor plans and real photos, an accurate Business Profile for each community, and review replies. It also tracks tour requests into your sales CRM, so you see which pages fill tours.

  • Most searches start with an adult child looking for a care level near a parent, such as memory care plus a town name. They compare costs, read reviews, and study photos before they call. Many search from another state, so your pages need to show daily life without a visit.

  • Our plans start at $850 per month for one community. That covers the community audit, a Business Profile, a page for each care level you offer, fee explainer and floor plan pages, and tour tracking. Occupancy Growth, at $1,400 per month, adds family guides, review replies, and 3 pages a month. Multi-Community at $2,200 per month covers up to 3 communities.

  • Corrected listings appear in Maps within 3 to 5 weeks of the audit, and tours from new pages build over 4 to 6 months. Memory care and respite pages often rank sooner, because fewer communities explain them well. Move-ins lag behind tours, since families often take weeks to decide.

  • Look for a team that writes for adult children, checks Fair Housing wording, and reports tours rather than traffic. Ask who owns the accounts, how review replies protect residents, and whether they use real photos. If your occupancy is already full, a good agency will say you don't need one yet.

  • Yes, for each care level you're licensed to provide. A family comparing memory care asks about secured doors, staff training, and daily structure, while independent living families ask about apartments and dining. Separate pages answer each set of questions and give Google one clear page per search.

  • Only if the community qualifies as housing for older persons under the Fair Housing Act's HOPA exemption. That requires at least 80% of occupied units to have a resident aged 55 or older, plus published age policies. Assisted living and memory care pages usually describe care needs instead of age.

  • Yes, if you show them exactly as CMS publishes them on Care Compare, with the date. Families often check Care Compare before a tour, so a page that hides or rounds up a rating loses trust. Assisted living pages have no CMS star rating, because CMS rates certified nursing homes.

  • Reply to each review with thanks and an invitation to talk, without sharing any resident's health or care details. Skilled nursing operators are usually covered by HIPAA, and every community has residents' privacy to protect. We draft replies for your director to approve and flag reviews that break Google's policies.

  • Your community does, from day one. The site, Business Profiles, photos, analytics, and CRM stay under your logins. If you leave, we hand over the care level map, the page list with approval dates, and notes on how tour tracking connects to your sales CRM.
