Senior living and home care agencies · Pay per click advertising
Stop your caregiver hiring ads and your family ads spending the same money.
Paid search for senior living and home care reaches a family the week a parent cannot be left alone, and aides looking for hours. GullySales runs those as two budgets, blocks job searches out of the family campaign, and counts tours and starts of care.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What pay per click advertising means
Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For senior living and home care agencies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The directories bid on every word you want”
A directory buys the same searches and then sells you the introduction. Your own click costs roughly what theirs does, and the family stays yours.
“Hiring and families are two different auctions”
An aide searching for caregiver jobs and a daughter searching for home care clicked the same advertisement last month. One of those clicks was wasted.
“Drive time is the real geography”
A circle drawn round the office sends money to towns your aides will not drive to. Draw it round the shifts you can actually cover.
What we do
What we deliver for senior living and home care agencies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Two accounts that cannot borrow from each other
A family budget and a caregiver hiring budget held separately with their own daily caps, so a hiring push cannot quietly drain the tour money.
Result: Filling shifts stops costing you enquiries.
Negative keywords against jobs, training and volunteering
Blocks on CNA course, caregiver salary, volunteer and nursing school, reviewed against the searches that actually triggered your ads.
Result: Your budget stops paying for people who will never be residents.
Targeting drawn round the shifts you can staff
Towns your aides reach, and communities within an hour of where an adult child lives, rather than a flat radius from the office postcode.
Result: You stop paying for enquiries you would have to decline.
A landing page per level of care with a real form
A page matching the ad, asking how much help is needed, who is deciding, how it is being paid for, and the month it has to start.
Result: The enquiry arrives with enough in it to call back properly.
Call tracking on every advertised number
A separate number per campaign, recorded under the policy you set, so a call at four on a Friday is attached to the advertisement that produced it.
Result: The hardest calls of the week get counted.
Spend reported against tours and starts of care
Cost per enquiry, per tour or in-home assessment, and per move-in, set beside the placement fee a directory charged you the same month.
Result: You can compare our cost per move-in with theirs.
How the result is measured
- Cost per click
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries from paid search
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Searches to bid on and block
The searches worth paying for in senior living and home care, and the ones to keep out.
- Care-at-home searches, such as attendant for elderly parent
- Bid. A family in the middle of a crisis types it. Say what your carers do and what they do not, such as non-medical help with bathing, meals and company, so the call is about a fit.
- Residential searches, such as old age home near me or dementia care
- Bid for a community, with a page about daily life, the care available and how a visit is arranged. Describe dementia support in plain terms, with no claim that it improves or reverses the condition.
- Medical and post-hospital searches, such as ICU nurse at home
- Block, or set up a separate path, if you offer only non-medical help. A family searching for a nurse needs a clinical service, and a clear page saves them and you a wasted call.
- Caregiver job, training and volunteer searches
- Block in the family campaign. If you are hiring carers, run that as a separate small campaign with its own cap, so it never takes money from the tours.
- Where the click lands
- Send the click to the page for that level of care, with a form asking who needs care, where, how much help and when it must start. Add a phone line, because many families would rather talk than type.
- Counting a real enquiry
- Count a call from a family member, or a form with a care need and a start date, that ends in an assessment or a visit booked. Do not count an enquiry from a carer looking for work.
Who it is for
This is written for these senior living and home care agencies.
- Old age homes and senior citizen homes with residential rooms

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the pay per click advertising work runs
- 1

- 3
Build the cross-platform plan
Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.
- 4
Implement and monitor
Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.
- 5
Measure and reallocate
We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
