Tailored solutions for care

Generate enquiries

Attribute calls to sources to find out which campaigns and channels offer the best returns, from leaflets to directories. Segment your enquiries by region, campaign, or even by individual home, and use the insight to shape your marketing activities.

Manage large budgets

With rising operational costs, every penny counts – so we’ll help you optimise your budget across every activity. For example, you can use Mediahawk to highlight which keywords lead to enquiries and move-ins and use our Google integrations to remarket to those about to make a decision, reducing your PPC costs.

Boost move-ins

Sales Matching allows you to draw a clear link between phone calls and visitor data and move-ins, so you can focus on doing more of what works.

Plus, Speech Analytics  harnesses conversational AI to assess every conversation, automatically identifying keywords, trends, and what a successful call looks like, so you can adapt your strategy to improve conversions.

Handle calls effectively

Our Advanced IVR feature is perfect for making sure every caller gets directed to the right department, and connecting care home enquiries to your sales team fast.

Link together complex journeys

With Parameter Connect, you can automatically connect offline and online call and visitor data for a complete view of your marketing outcomes. That means you can easily compare the performance between different care homes to pinpoint what’s working well and areas for improvement.

Frequently asked questions

With Mediahawk, you can continuously assess the performance of your marketing strategy in deep detail, combining various metrics to help you understand which activities lead to the most promising inquiries. You can then optimise your strategy to prioritise the channels and campaigns that lead to the highest number of move-ins, improving your occupancy rates.

Potential residents and their families are taking longer than ever to research and select the right care home, which makes their journey more complicated and harder for marketers to track. Call tracking helps you build a detailed picture of every prospective move-in’s journey, and make sure you’re engaging with them at the right time to encourage enquiries.

To measure ROI, you need to know how your healthcare marketing strategy is performing. Mediahawk’s tracking and reporting features give you deep insight into which channels and campaigns are delivering enquiries, and how effectively your website, resources, and team are converting those enquiries into booked appointments. When you know which sources and activities are increasing patient volumes, you’ll have a clear picture of your ROI.

You can assign individual numbers to each of your care home directory listings. That way, when a call comes in from the directory, or a prospective resident continues their journey on your website, you know exactly which listing prompted their call. That means you can prioritise your spend and focus on the directories that provide the most traffic.
