Home Care Marketing Agency
When a family needs home care, they usually need it soon: after a fall, a hospital stay or a hard conversation. They search, read a few reviews and call the agency that answered their question first. We make sure that’s you, with Google Ads that reach families instead of job seekers and SEO and AI search that put you at the top when they’re looking.

The problem
Someone searching “home care near me” could be a daughter looking after her mom, or a caregiver looking for work. Google can’t tell the difference, and you pay for both clicks.
$6.30
Average cost per click for home care Google Ads, up about 32% in a year.
$74
Average cost per lead, before anyone has booked an assessment.
40%+
Of ad spend that can go to job seekers clicking family-facing ads.
$800 to $2,000+
Typical ad cost to sign one new home care client.
Google Ads still has a place in home care. But when every family search costs more each year and a big share of clicks are job applicants, the agencies that grow are the ones building content, reputation and social presence that keep working without paying for every click.
Two audiences, one plan
You need clients and you need staff. Most home care marketing lets one quietly eat the other’s budget. We separate them on purpose, so family campaigns reach families and recruitment campaigns reach caregivers.
Families
Caregivers
How families find care
Home care decisions often happen fast. The agency that shows up first, looks trustworthy and is easy to call usually gets the family. That’s what we build.
Found first
Google Ads for the searches families make today, and SEO and AI search content that answers “how much does in-home care cost” or “signs mom needs help at home” for your area.
Trusted
A steady flow of recent reviews on your Google Business Profile, with a thoughtful reply to every one.
Easy to call
Clear services, real caregivers, a separate careers page and a phone number that’s always one tap away.
Running an assisted living or senior living community? That’s a longer, bigger decision with tours and family meetings. See our assisted living marketing program.
What we do
Content that answers the key questions families ask, built to rank in Google and be cited in AI answers. The source of inquiries that keeps working without paying per click. See our home care SEO program.
Family-facing campaigns with job seekers filtered out from day one, plus separate recruitment campaigns when you’re hiring.
Already have a website? We upgrade it so it feels safe to a worried family: clear services, real people, reviews, a separate careers page and easy calls. New sites available too.
A steady review flow and thoughtful replies that protect privacy and build trust.
Videos that put a face on your agency and answer family questions, the content that earns trust fastest.
Facebook and Instagram campaigns to build awareness in your service area and reach families who visited your site. Available when you’re ready to grow further.
Experience
We’ve consulted for home care businesses, built the brand and website for a memory care community and run home care ad campaigns. And the system behind it is the same one that brings a consistent flow of leads to our home service clients, alongside their Google Ads.
Website build
Our team delivered the brand, a pre-launch sales deck and a tour-first website for a new assisted living and memory care community, written for the families choosing care. See the launch.
On TikTok
A home service client ran fully booked for three months without Google Ads. The year before, it took $5,000 to $7,000 a month in ads to fill the same schedule.
A brand-new location with no page, no reviews and no rankings was getting organic leads within two months.
Daily organic leads let a struggling location hold its Google Ads to about $1,000 a month and still fill its schedule.

Be the first answer when a family needs help. The strongest home care marketing combines Google Ads that reach families instead of job seekers, SEO and AI search content that answers their questions, a strong Google Business Profile with steady reviews, and a website built for worried families.
Searches like “home care near me” are used by families looking for care and by caregivers looking for work, and Google charges you for both. Industry data shows 40% or more of ad spend can go to job seekers. Negative keywords, separate recruitment campaigns, ad copy written for families and a separate careers page fix most of it.
Recent industry averages are about $6.30 per click and about $74 per lead, with $800 to $2,000 or more in ad spend to sign one new client depending on the market. Costs have been rising, which is why we build SEO, AI search and social alongside ads.
They can, as an add-on once search is working. About 71% of adults use Facebook, including 80% of adults aged 30 to 49, the age group most often arranging care for a parent. Meta Ads build awareness in your service area and reach families who visited your site but didn’t call yet.
It depends on your existing reviews, website strength and local competition. With a solid base, AI search results can show up within weeks. Expect real traction in 3 to 6 months, with SEO growing into a consistent source of inquiries the longer you build it.
Both, in the right balance. Google Ads bring inquiries quickly. SEO and AI search build a source of inquiries you don’t pay for per click, which matters more as ad costs rise. For home service clients, we’ve seen that combination deliver a consistent flow of leads alongside the ads.
Ask every family at the right moment with a simple link, and reply to every review without confirming anyone is a client or mentioning any health details. Keep testimonials on your site about the experience of working with you, with written permission.
Our home care program starts at $2,500 a month plus ad spend and covers Google Ads, SEO and AI search, your Google Business Profile, reviews and tracking. Website upgrades and Meta Ads can be added. The right mix depends on your market, your capacity and whether you’re also hiring caregivers.
Tell us about your agency, your service area and whether you’re growing clients, caregivers or both. We read every application ourselves.
