Brandywine Case Study

Brandywine Senior Living, which operates multiple locations throughout the Northeast, was looking to expand their digital presence and drive more tours and residents to all their properties. The biggest competition was not other properties, but aggregation sites like Places For Mom and Caring.com. The team at Brandywine approached M&P to help drive direct leads and reduce commission costs from aggregator sites.

OUR PAID SEARCH CAMPAIGN STRATEGY

Geo-Targeting & Ad Messaging

Location is everything when it comes to senior living – for both residents and adult children of residents. That’s why our team worked to target particular zip codes surrounding communities. So we can improve the quality of users and customize messaging with location-based information to improve CTR.

Keyword Opportunity Research

With the implementation of any paid search campaign run by M&P, our first step is establishing the need for branded vs. non-branded search. If your website is ranking organically for your brand name, we dedicate the paid search budget to non-branded, general keywords. For Brandywine, our emphasis became bidding on non-branded keywords with low CPC costs.

Campaign Optimizations

Never a set-it-and-forget-it campaign, our team worked tirelessly to analyze campaign data and improve performance. From high-level keyword targets to granular time of day ad scheduling was optimized to ensure the campaign continued to improve and provide Brandywine ROI for their marketing spend.
