Optimizing your senior living marketing campaign is the key to more website traffic and more potential clientele. The best way to perfect your marketing is through studying your client base with extensive customer analytics.

However, you must first determine which audience is most worthwhile to advertise to before applying these principles. Understanding the right target audience for senior living services is the difference between high-traffic and low-traffic advertising campaigns.

Who Is My Primary Customer Base?

Recent statistics from sources such as NPR state that the primary consumers for senior living communities are the children of seniors, usually between the ages of 30 and 40. This population accounted for over 10 million customers in 2012, and this number had tripled since 1998.

This trend has continued into the modern-day era. According to the American Health Care Association, as of 2020, over 800,000 Americans resided in assisted living communities, with most being over 85 years old. Even more Americans are taking part in nursing and retirement homes and villages.

In their age, most of these residents did not enroll entirely by themselves, requiring the aid of younger and more tech-savvy family members. As technology continually evolves, this customer base of seniors’ children continues to be the primary audience for senior living services.

Your advertisements and marketing should target this audience. Consider the audience when determining website design and where and how you market your senior living services. Using the right tools will uncover what more prospects are interested in and how best to advertise to them.

How to Optimize for the Seniors’ Children Audience

Most clients seek senior living information online. Optimizing the traffic of your website and fine-tuning your website content will create better results and promote longer user engagement.

Search engine optimization (SEO) techniques will improve your site traffic when users search for related keywords or phrases. Use sources such as Google Analytics to determine which words and phrases potential clientele are researching most.

Note that the typical user’s senior living searches do not begin with company names. They are often unfamiliar with senior living providers before searching for services. Care.com indicates that the majority of customer searches begin with general phrases like “assisted living.”

Other techniques, such as adding meta descriptions and links to commonly reputable sources, will also improve site traffic. Consequently, high site traffic corresponds to higher website participation, and a large portion of users will click on the first few websites that appear during their search.

Google My Business is a helpful tool that can establish a great amount of credibility and optimization. Entering your business information will make photos, contact information, and addresses appear when your business is searched for on the engine.

Children of seniors are interested in seeing information that transparently discusses the quality of senior living services rather than marketing slogans. Because of this, including user reviews and credential statements is a great strategy. Customers want to know how long you have been in business to establish trust and credibility.

Websites that are well-designed and highly usable also create trust. The more accessible your site is to people of all ages, the more traffic it will receive. Improving usability is as simple as keeping navigation bars uncluttered, creating multiple pathways to useful pages, and presenting contact information on as many pages as possible.

When advertising online, consider which platforms would be most easily seen by the children of seniors. Social media sites such as Facebook, whose demographic is older, are more worthwhile than sites like Twitter that have younger users on average.

Facebook Ads is an excellent marketing tool that allows you to create advertisements and select your audience. The system will automatically pair your ad with pages that your primary audience tends to visit. You can filter by demographics such as age, location, occupation, and more.
