Position Caring Home Care as a leading in-home care provider using a modern, mobile responsive website including video to support ongoing digital marketing campaigns aimed at generating and converting sales leads.
The primary focus for Caring Home Care is to drive more new business. Since most most prospects use the internet to research care providers, it makes sense to focus marketing and branding efforts on the web. A compelling website with relevant content for each of the target groups along with automated retargeting and nurture campaigns is likely the most cost effective way to engage and close a high percentage of prospects.
Green Dot recommends an integrated approach, where the marketing campaigns, website, email communications, retargeting ads and in-house CRM are all connected and working towards the same outcome. This system aims go generate web leads for the in-house sales staff to contact, then assists with the follow up process using dynamic and automated email messages to ensure each prospect receives the information most relevant to them.
Prior to investing marketing dollars, it is imperative to put in place the best and most compelling content the company can afford to produce. That’s because quality content reduces the cost-per-click and increases conversion rates – in short, good content reduces monthly marketing expenses.
The single most important touch point is the website, as that’s the first piece of content prospects will see after they click on an ad. Caring Home Care agrees that the brand should be updated in preparation for the new marketing push to ensure the website, emails, videos and retargeting ads reflect the quality of care the company provides. As a result, Green Dot will begin the process by updating the company’s brand ID and main touch points including the logo, tagline, stationary, and website.
Since the brand ID project includes the initial website design concept, the full site can be laid out and developed quickly upon approval of the new brand ID. A mobile responsive website featuring compelling video testimonials and specific landing pages for each core service offering will produce the best results at the lowest cost.
As the site enters development the campaign setup process is initiated with the aim to have the campaigns ready to launch simultaneously with the new website. Key initiatives for lead generation include search and social media marketing in the geographic regions Caring Home Care wishes to target. All leads are populated into a CRM called PipeDrive which is connected to a marketing automation platform called ActiveDemand. Together, these two systems assist the sales team with the follow up and closing process for each lead while ensuring that CHC management and the agency have full visibility into the performance of the campaigns, as well as each member of the sales team.
The data the system produces by diligently tracking every ad, email and prospect action makes analyzing and optimizing the marketing campaigns, as well as the creative and content, a scientific process. Working together, CHC and Green Dot can fine tune the outcomes, reduce costs and support the sales team to scale performance in a reliable and predictable manner.
Green Dot provides monthly progress reports and sets up live dashboards that provide clients with all of the information they need to determine the value of the services being provided. After three to six month, we will have established and vetted a formula that can predict how every additional $1,000 invested will impact the company’s bottom line. From there, the sky is the limit.
A relevant, distinct and visually appealing brand identity your target audience can relate to is imperative for success in a crowded marketplace.
Green Dot takes a holistic approach to designing logos and brand identities. We don’t present raw ideas, we deliver finished concepts with a variety of touch points for clients to evaluate.
Clients can select the appropriate brand ID for their business with confidence when they see the website home page design and business card layout along with the logo and tagline concepts. That’s why our process includes all the necessary steps in one round.
The Caring Home Care website is quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes a content management system (CMS) to allow the client to add or edit content. The site will be designed for desktop computers and include mobile responsive code to ensure content is mobile friendly and renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
The site also includes integration with ActiveDemand, a marketing automation platform, as well as PipeDrive, a CRM designed to help sales teams close more prospects. With ActiveDemand we can dynamically change the content on your site to show the most relevant content to repeat visitors based on which content they engaged with initially.
Search marketing is the best way to step in front of existing demand and drive highly qualified leads at a predictable cost.
Google AdWords allows your website or landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords. A Google AdWords certified marketer can help you write targeted ads that cost less than your competitors are paying by optimizing each part of your campaign.
We address all three components of the search marketing puzzle – keywords, ad copy and landing page content. By addressing all three aspects, we can turn the right dials to optimize your results. To make sure nothing slips through the cracks we add phone call tracking to the mix to ensure you’re in the know about every aspect of your search marketing efforts.
Digital display ads are used to retarget all prospects who visited your website but did not complete the desired action. These display ads can be shown to visitors from all traffic sources. The retargeting ads run on a wide network of websites that support display advertising and “follow” your prospects from site to site as the browse the net, giving you a second and third opportunity to close the deal.
Emails can be used to nurture a lead or promote a specific service or event. Green Dot recommends an automated email drip campaign segmented by service / landing page, consisting of five (5) emails for each target.
A drip campaign is triggered when a new prospect inquires with CHC. Green Dot has experience with a wide array of marketing automation platforms including HubSpot, Marketo, Active Demand and many more, and can help CHC create a uniquely personalized experience for their prospects to increase conversion rates and drive down marketing costs.
Beyond that, we can help integrate marketing automation and customer relationship management (CRM), as well as setup a process to track and analyze the source and cost of leads and what their value is to the company long-term.
Green Dot ensures you know how your campaigns are performing at all times. Clients have direct access to the marketers working on their campaigns as well as to reporting platforms like Google Analytics (website performance), ActiveDemand dashboards (campaign performance, email performance and call tracking data) .
In addition, Green Dot publishes a monthly report detailing all of the key metrics for your campaigns, as well as the performance of the leads throughout your sales pipeline (if PipeDrive CRM is integrated) and reviews the results with you by phone and screen share.
How much you spend on media every month is totally up to you. The more you spend, the greater your reach and frequency. Green Dot provides recommendations and guidance based on campaign performance and objectives, while allowing clients to adjust their budgets as needed.
Green Dot does not bill clients for media insertion, or require a minimum budget. Instead, we only invoice for media planning and campaign management. We manage and execute the media buys, create all ads, a/b test the ads, optimize your monthly spend (we may suggest increasing / decreasing the budget allocation depending on a channel’s performance) and report on the results.
All media expenditures are the responsibility of the client and are billed directly to the client by the media vendor or advertising platform. This approach creates pricing transparency and trust, while allowing media budgets to be adjusted as needed.
Green Dot includes these media management services at no additional charge with your marketing retainer up to the specified monthly threshold. Scaling the media buy beyond this baseline triggers a media management fee of 12% applied only to the net new spend above the included monthly threshold.

Social & Digital Advertising & Marketing
Social Media Advertising
Advertising on social media allows you to laser target and reach those people most likely to find your service relevant, interesting and valuable. Placing ads on social channels is the best way to grow your followers and reach targets that are not already aware of your brand, but should be.
Using geographic and demographic targeting we can pinpoint the most suitable targets and create demand for specific services. Unlike search marketing, social advertising will focus on growing your audience and creating demand with content relevant to their specific needs. We recommend two types of campaigns – newsfeed ads and a like campaign to grow your audience.
Includes the Following:
Social Media Page Management
Social page management involves daily posts (5 per week) to nurture your audience with relevant content specific to their situation. Publishing blog posts and sharable graphics about caring for family members will help CHC showcase expertise and provide your audience with helpful information.
