Especially at the start, it\u2019s easy to get overwhelmed. Fortunately, senior living providers don\u2019t have to go it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/rentcafe-reach\/\">RENT<em>Caf<\/em><em>\u00e9<\/em> Reach<\/a> services help senior living communities get found online.

From website audits to content creation to local business listings, we build authority and engagement to keep communities at the top of the search results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More clicks with pay-per-click advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Paid ads on search engines target people with high intent \u2014 that is, quality leads. They\u2019re typing keyword phrases like \u201clocal retirement home\u201d or \u201cbest assisted living near me,\u201d searches where any senior living provider would want to show up front and center.<\/p>\n<p>Our RentCafe Reach team members are certified AdWords specialists with years of digital marketing experience. We run ad campaigns based on occupancy needs and then analyze the results to continually improve ROI. Marketing spend is easily managed through a simple dashboard so plans stay within budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engaged prospects with social media posting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baby boomers are the next generation of senior living residents.

According to research, 84% of people trust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/craig-bloem\/84-percent-of-people-trust-online-reviews-as-much-.html\">online reviews<\/a> as much as they do personal recommendations. This is even more significant in an industry like senior living where referrals are one of the strongest sources of new move-ins.<\/p>\n<p>Our RENT<em>Caf<\/em><em>\u00e9<\/em> Reach team monitors reviews, handles potentially negative posts and encourages more positive comments across channels like Google, Yelp and Facebook.
