WHAT'S GROWING ON

You are proud of your senior living community, the care it provides, and the amenities it offers. You have a great website and an engaging social media presence that showcase your brand, but how do you get to the next level? How do you go one step further in building trust and a good reputation for your community?

Integrated marketing is about delivering a unified message across all of the marketing channels that your brand uses. But beyond your messaging, an integrated marketing approach allows you to leverage your marketing channels to complement and positively impact one another.

A robust SEO strategy is a combination of multiple efforts. Gone are the days of stuffing a keyword onto a landing page. Instead, SEO in 2021 is about the user experience and the value your website brings to users.

While many people know that site speed can affect your site performance, few know how significant the impact can be. A few months back, we wrote about how a slow site can impact your search engine rankings. More recently, Google has an initiative called Core Web Vitals, which focuses on a user's experience on your site, and speed is an integral part of that experience.

In May 2020, Google announced their Core Web Vitals algorithm update would roll out in 12 months. These vitals are metrics that will impact the way websites are ranked by the search engine.

Video marketing continues to gain momentum. Last year, “87% of video marketers reported that video gives them a positive ROI — a world away from the lowly 33% who felt that way in 2015 (HubSpot).”

Optimizing your website’s user experience (UX) should be one of the most important goals when seeking website design and development services. Creating the most effective UX on both desktop and mobile devices will improve search engine rankings and increase your lead conversions from digital marketing efforts.

As a senior living marketing agency, Markentum stays up-to-date on the ever-evolving senior living industry to keep our partners competitive and educate those looking for care.

Whether you are a veteran marketer or just starting to navigate your business’s marketing efforts, most people have heard of, and know the importance of, SEO or Search Engine Optimization. According to Moz, this is considered “the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results.” But, what does that mean?

As a digital marketing agency focused on senior living communities, Markentum understands the marketing power of your physical location(s). You gain walk-in traffic from passing cars, and that traffic may be just as likely to walk into another community down the street or around the corner.
