We help home care providers grow their self-funding client base through expert PR, media coverage, social media, SEO, and multimedia marketing.

Your reputation as a home care agency, how potential clients and their families perceive your services, is key to success. Positive awareness, clear communication of your values, and trust in your care quality directly influence inquiries from private-paying clients.

I could not recommend Bridgehead highly enough. They have a unique understanding of the adult social care media landscape.
Ben Ashton, Co-Founder & Director, GoodOaks Homecare

The way your home care agency presents itself, both online and offline, shapes client perception. Agencies that highlight personalised, compassionate care, engaging activities, and consistently high service standards not only stand out in search results but also attract a higher number of private-paying clients. Strong SEO, strategic digital marketing, and reputation management amplify this effect, helping your agency grow sustainably.

FAQs

Home care marketing is the promotion of your care services to attract new residents, particularly self-funding clients. Effective marketing increases visibility, builds trust with families, and highlights your home’s quality of care, helping you fill beds faster and strengthen your reputation.

We track both soft and hard conversions, including website enquiries, phone calls, and bookings. We monitor occupancy impact and ROI, providing clear reporting so you can see how campaigns boost your self-funding client base and improve overall business performance.

While some results from digital advertising and PR can be immediate, SEO, brand-building, and reputation strategies typically show significant impact within 3-6 months. We provide ongoing monitoring and optimisation to ensure long-term growth and sustainability.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) ensures your care home appears in Google searches when families are looking for care in your area. Strong SEO increases organic traffic, improves visibility, and drives more enquiries from families ready to make care decisions.
