The first business to answer usually gets the job. A homeowner calls at a busy moment. Your team is on a job, and the call goes unanswered. Phone screen: Missed call, 2:14 PM. An automatic text goes back in seconds. Not a voicemail greeting. A friendly text from your business. Text sent automatically: Sorry we missed you! What can we help with? The homeowner replies and gets a booking link. They pick a time that works for them, right from the text. Homeowner: Hi, I need an estimate. Is this week possible? Business: Yes! Pick any open time here. Link: Book a time. Estimate booked: Thursday, 10:00 AM. The estimate lands on your calendar. Time, address and job details are filled in automatically. Calendar, Thursday: New estimate at 10:00 AM. Your team gets notified. The right people see the new booking, with everything they need. Notifications to the office and the estimator: New estimate booked, Thursday 10:00 AM, details attached. Without it, the call waits in voicemail. By the time someone calls back, the homeowner may have booked someone else. Voicemail: next morning callback. Text back: estimate booked the same afternoon. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.
Why work with MAJ
Why senior living and home care owners across Greater Cincinnati call MAJ
Your problem
Interest that never becomes a conversation
Families research care late at night across several providers, and many inquiries end in a voicemail or a generic email. With no Local Services Ads in this industry, each unanswered question wastes ad money.
What we build
One path from first search to a scheduled visit
Tracked search ads, video of your real spaces and staff, pages that invite a call, a prompt reply, follow-up that remembers each family's questions and reporting by source, built as one system.
One connected system, not four vendors
Ads, video, website, CRM and reporting come from one team, so nothing gets lost between a family's search and your intake call.
Ohio and Kentucky rules in the copy
Pages name your Ohio license or your Kentucky license type correctly, which matters to the families who check.
A free written audit to start
We review how a family finds you and what happens when they reach out, then send the gaps in writing, in the order we would fix them.

Where senior living marketing in Cincinnati loses money
The inquiry waits until morning
An adult child fills out a form at 11 PM with questions about a parent. If the only answer is a callback the next afternoon, she spends the night wondering whether anyone read it.
Counting inquiries instead of move-ins
Clicks and form fills say nothing about open apartments or caregiver schedules. Without a link to move-ins or care starts, budget flows to whatever looks busy.
A thin Google Business Profile
Families compare options on the map first. Old photos, few recent reviews or no tour request link leave them with more questions than answers.
Follow-up that stops after one call
Choosing care involves siblings, a budget talk and sometimes a house to sell. One callback lets a warm family drift while the decision is open.
What is different about senior living and home care in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky
Ohio licenses assisted living as a residential care facility
The Ohio Department of Health licenses assisted living as a residential care facility, and the two terms are used interchangeably. OAC 3701-16-03 requires the license to be posted in the building. Using the same words online helps families match your site to the license on the wall.
Source: Ohio Administrative Code 3701-16-03 (residential care facility license)Ohio home care agencies need a state license
Under ORC 3740.03, agencies providing skilled home health services apply to the Ohio Department of Health for a skilled license, and non-medical providers apply for a nonmedical home health services license. Stating which one you hold answers a common first-call question.
Source: Ohio Revised Code 3740.03 (home health services licenses)Kentucky has three assisted living license types
902 KAR 20:480 licenses Kentucky assisted living communities in three types: a standard community, one with basic health care and one with secured dementia care, through the Office of Inspector General. Kentucky has been moving from certification to licensure, so we confirm current status with OIG before ad copy names a type.

KRS 216.712 says no personal services agency shall be operated, maintained or advertised without a certificate. If your Northern Kentucky home care agency is a personal services agency under Kentucky law, the certificate comes first and ads second.

How we build senior living and home care marketing, stage by stage
- 01 Get found
- 02 Get contacted
- 03 Get booked
- 04 Know what worked
- 01
Decide what counts
Before anything runs we agree on the number: tours and move-ins for a community, assessments and care hours for an agency. Every call and form is tracked by source.
- 02
Make the proof
A shoot day captures apartments, dining, grounds and staff, or a care manager walking through a first home visit, for the site, ads and posts.
Video production - 03
Create demand
Google Search ads, a complete Google Business Profile, SEO pages for each town you serve and Meta video for families planning ahead.
Paid advertising - 04
Build the response
Landing pages that name the care type and town, show real spaces and staff, and offer one-tap calling.
- 05
Capture and route
Every inquiry becomes a CRM record with its source and an owner: tour requests to the sales lead, home care requests to that area's intake coordinator.
CRM and automation - 06
Answer
When a call is missed, the family gets a text right away naming who will call back, with times to choose. After-hours forms get the same, and follow-up is paced over weeks.
- 07
The tour or the assessment
Your team handles the tour, the home visit and the talk about fit and cost, knowing where each family came from.
- 08
Measure
A monthly report of tours and assessments by source, with move-ins and care starts connected where your systems allow, and where to put your budget next.
See where families drop off before they reach you
Book a call and we will walk through one real path: the search a family would type, what they find, and what happens when they reach out at 10 PM. You leave with the weak points named.
Watch
Families decide over weeks. Your team remembers every conversation.
A move or a home care start is rarely decided on the first call, and families need time to compare options. Each family's questions stay on record, so your team remembers previous conversations and offers the next step when the family is ready.
- A community sees tour requests, visits and move-ins
- An agency sees assessment requests, care plans and starts
- Reminders so conversations do not go quiet

Every lead gets a card. Every card keeps moving. Every call, form and text becomes a lead card. Nothing lives on a sticky note or in someone's head. Cards move across clear stages. New, Contacted, Estimate booked, Estimate sent, then Won or Lost. Follow-ups go out on day 1, 3 and 7. Automatic texts and emails, so quotes do not go cold. Day 1, check-in text sent. Day 3, follow-up email sent. Day 7, last check-in text sent. Customer replied. Every quote ends in Won or Lost. Won jobs move to the schedule. Lost ones get a reason, so you can learn from them. Won: added to the schedule. Lost reason: went with another quote. The whole pipeline on one screen. See what is new, what is booked and what is waiting, at a glance.

Typical agency approach vs. how MAJ builds it
| Topic | The usual approach | What MAJ builds |
|---|---|---|
| What gets reported | Impressions, clicks and inquiry counts | Tours, move-ins, assessments and care starts by source |
| After-hours inquiries | Wait for the office to open | Instant reply with a named person and times to choose |
| Ad targeting | Audiences built on interests that hint at health conditions | Messages about the family's situation, with no health details in audiences |
Why senior living and home care owners talk to MAJ
Video made in house
Manny trained as a filmmaker at Ohio University and started MAJ as a video company. We film the place and people families want to see.
Built for the way families search now
BrightLocal's 2026 survey reports that 45% of consumers use ChatGPT or other AI tools for local business recommendations. Pages stating care type, town and license help AI answers describe you correctly.
Find the gaps between family inquiries and scheduled conversations
No numbers needed. On a call we will look at how a family reaches you today, from the first search to the first conversation, and point out where questions go unanswered.
Senior living and home care marketing questions
What does a senior living marketing agency in Cincinnati actually do?
It helps families find your community or agency, understand their options and reach your team, then tracks inquiries through tours, move-ins, assessments and care starts. At MAJ that means search ads, the map listing, reviews, SEO, video, landing pages, a CRM with follow-up and a monthly report.
Is marketing for assisted living different from marketing for home care?
Yes. A community sells a place and a daily life, so tours and video of the building matter most. A home care agency sells trust in the people who come to the house, so caregiver introductions and clear service areas matter most.
Why does a prompt reply matter so much?
Because families often reach out late at night with questions about a parent, and a warm, useful reply tells them someone will help. We set up an instant text that names a person and offers a time, and your team follows up when the family is ready.
Can you run Local Services Ads for us?
No, because Google does not list senior living, assisted living or home care as a US Local Services Ads category. We use Google Search ads, the map listing, reviews, SEO and video instead.
How do you handle privacy?
We keep health details out of ads and audience lists and work within your team's privacy requirements. We are not lawyers: your compliance advisor sets the policy, and we build the marketing to fit it.
Do you serve Northern Kentucky providers?
Yes. Kentucky sets assisted living license types under 902 KAR 20:480, with the move to licensure still being confirmed with the state, and KRS 216.712 bars personal services agencies from advertising without a certificate. Kentucky pages and ads are written to match.
How does the free audit work?
We review your search presence, map listing, reviews, website and follow-up. AI does the digging, Manny checks every finding, and you get a written list of gaps in the order we would fix them.
