We’ve helped home care groups soar to new heights with proven patient generation tactics.

This is why we personalize each pay-per-click campaign to target people actively searching for the home care services you offer while maximizing your budget. Hello high ROI!
In today’s competitive marketplace, your home care facility’s website needs search engine optimization (SEO). If your site is not highly ranked, prospective patients will not find you. Most searches never make it past the first page. Our goal is to drive people to your website and then convert those leads into loyal patients.
Paid social platforms such as Facebook have millions of users in the U.S.; tapping into this market can help you reach the people who are interested in the treatments you offer. We use segmentation to identify prospective patients based on location, age, gender, and estimated income to offer you high conversion rates and qualified leads.
So you’ve got a lot of people visiting your home care facility’s website, but you’re not getting that many phone calls, consultations, or appointments. Don’t fret! A strong conversion rate optimization (CRO) strategy can help increase the quality of your leads and make the most out of the traffic that you’re already receiving.
If you’re not tracking your home care facility’s website data, you will never be able to tell which campaigns are driving results, which offers are working, and which pages need better optimization. At Cardinal, we’re passionate about monitoring performance and communicating results; you’ll receive access to all of your data, dashboards, and reports. We don’t just make numbers look pretty; we believe in complete transparency and chart marketing performance against your business goals.
The first place patients go to find a home care facility is online. Whether they find you through SEO, PPC, or word-of-mouth, make sure your website loads quickly and is easy to navigate. First impressions go far. Your website not only needs to be sleek and well optimized, but it needs to be responsive across all devices. We make sure that once a web visitor finds your website, they can quickly find the information they are looking for, whether that be on their desktop or mobile device. BAM – hello higher conversion rates and new patients!

No. We can support your brand’s marketing if you have a functional WordPress website. WordPress is our preferred content management system (CMS) due to its ease of customization, SEO capabilities, and how it focuses on the user experience.
If for some reason, you’re not satisfied with the current state of your website, Cardinal can also help design a new website and migrate you to WordPress. More than 90% of first impressions are based on a website’s visuals and design. If your home care company’s website is well-designed and intuitive, potential patients and their families are more likely to trust your brand.
Our web design team is some of the best in the healthcare marketing space. Your home care company’s website will not only look professional but it’s appropriately optimized for SEO as well.
Digital marketing that’s actually worth your time and effort takes time, and it’s not an overnight process. If you’re expecting meaningful results within a few days or weeks, Cardinal is not the agency for you. On the contrary, if you prefer comprehensive, data-driven results via in-depth planning, Cardinal is more than happy to be your marketing partner.
Having said that, we always set performance-oriented goals for all our clients every three months. While there are no immediate results in your campaign, you’ll see exactly what’s happening behind the scenes. Our detailed roadmaps, reports, and KPIs are always available for your account, so you know the actions we’ve been doing, why we’re doing it, and the expected impact.
Overall, the estimated time frame for tangible results will depend on your marketing maturity and the services requested. For example, we always tell clients to wait for about 90 days before they can see their PPC campaigns take off. In contrast, SEO requires more time between planning, execution, and optimization, so you’ll see noticeable results in 3-6 months up to a year.
Sure, if you want us to.
As a full-service digital marketing agency, Cardinal provides best-in-class services for healthcare companies, including home care support services. From SEO to web design and PPC management to reputation, we can provide the marketing that will propel your brand to new growth heights and increase your patient volume. However, remember that we don’t cover email marketing, organic social media posts, or traditional “offline” marketing (we’re a digital agency).
We’ll leverage our intimate knowledge of the home care arena and proven lead generation tactics so that you can find more clients to care for. Even if you have an in-house team, we can help as a consulting agency that will work alongside your team to reach your marketing goals.
Yes, we can. Ideally, we want to focus on the services that matter most for your home care brand and go from there. However, we can undoubtedly market certain home care services like occupational therapy and short-term nursing so that you can get higher ticket patients from said services.
There are more ways than one that will help us achieve this goal. For example, we can build strong branding that highlights these specific services. This includes creating relevant creatives and messaging that center around your brand’s excellent occupational therapy services. In addition, our PPC experts will create patient personas, which are fictional representations of your ideal clients (i.e., people who require short-term nursing and occupational therapy services).
Of course, it’s what we do best. We’ve seen way too many home care PPC campaigns with poor keyword targeting, improper bidding strategies, and generic ad copy/creatives.
Cardinal can take the reins of your PPC campaign to scale and make it more efficient. We will run strategies like adjusting your account structure, segmenting campaigns by location, developing responsive search ads (RSAs), and reviewing underperforming, high-cost keywords. We are also masters at multi-location growth, so we can help scale your paid search campaign to new locations and markets.
