The Four Challenges We Solve

Visibility

Get found where families search - Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.

Reputation

Build digital credibility that turns first impressions into tour bookings.

Occupancy

Drive qualified leads from families actively searching for senior living in your area.

Revenue

Connect every marketing dollar to measurable outcomes - cost per lead, tours booked, and move-ins.

Real Families, Real Decisions

Finding Memory Care in Kingston

Sarah's mother has Alzheimer's. Care has moved beyond what the family can manage at home. She's asking ChatGPT which Kingston facilities specialize in memory care, what to ask on tours, and how waitlists work.

Choosing Care from a Distance

Michael works in Toronto, but his 82-year-old father does not want to leave Moncton. He's using Claude to compare care homes from 1,500 kilometers away - balancing quality, cost, and inspection reports while hoping he's making the right call.

Searching Together in Halifax

David and Linda, 72 and 69, are ready to move into a senior living community. They search Google, scan AI Overviews, and find competing ads that all sound the same. They can't tell what's a good fit versus what's just well-marketed.

How We Help

These situations happen daily across Canada. Families search Google and ask AI for answers - and communities that appear in those results are the ones that get considered.

Senior Maple Marketing ensures your community shows up when families are looking, with clear information that moves them from research to tour to move-in.

Why Choose Senior Maple Marketing

Exclusive Senior Living Focus

We serve no other industries. Senior living marketing is our entire business. This means we understand your challenges, your audiences, and your regulatory environment before the first conversation - not on your dime.

Canada-First Expertise

We know RHRA regulations in Ontario, AODA accessibility requirements, PIPEDA privacy rules, and CASL email compliance. We understand provincial variations from Alberta's supportive living model to Quebec's French-first requirements.

Web Accessibility Specialty

AODA/ADA/WCAG compliance is a core service, not an afterthought or upsell. We build accessible websites that serve seniors and families of all abilities - and protect you from compliance risk that can reach $100,000 per day.

AI-Ready Optimization

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) positions your community to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI platforms. With AI search traffic up 527% and growing, this is a channel most competitors are ignoring entirely.

In-House Development Through Drupfan

We have developers, designers, and technical specialists under one roof. No offshore outsourcing. No contractors who disappear after launch. No finger-pointing between vendors. One team accountable for results.

In-House Photography & Videography

A rare offering in this space - most agencies outsource creative production. Our teams are experienced working with seniors, including memory care residents, to capture authentic community life.

Direct Access to Strategists

You work with senior strategists throughout your engagement. You are not passed to junior staff after the sale. We believe in partnership, not vendor relationships.

Measurable Results

Marketing should be tangible. We track metrics that connect to occupancy - qualified leads, tour bookings, cost per lead, and attribution to move-ins. Not vanity metrics. Clear reporting you can understand and act on.

Our Values

Help Businesses Succeed
Marketing should drive results. We focus on visibility, lead generation, and occupancy growth because your success as a business allows you to deliver better care. When your suites are full, everyone wins.
Bridge the Information Gap
Families struggle to find clear, honest information about senior living options. We help communities communicate what they offer in ways that are accurate, accessible, and easy to understand - so the right families find the right fit.
Help Families Choose Well
Behind every lead is a family making a deeply personal decision. We create content and experiences that inform rather than pressure, helping families feel confident they are choosing the right community for their loved ones.

Regulatory Compliance
Demands Security
PIPEDA requires organizations to protect personal information with security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Healthcare data is among the most sensitive.

FAQ

What is Senior Maple Marketing?

Senior Maple Marketing is Canada's only marketing agency dedicated exclusively to senior living communities. We are the marketing division of Drupfan, a Canadian technology company, which gives us in-house development, design, and technical capabilities. We serve retirement homes, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and CCRCs across Canada.

What makes Senior Maple Marketing different from other agencies?

Three things: First, we focus 100% on senior living - no other industries, no distractions. Second, we are Canadian-built with deep expertise in RHRA, AODA, PIPEDA, CASL, and provincial regulations. Third, we are the only senior living marketing agency offering web accessibility compliance as a specialty service, and one of only two with in-house photography and videography.

Why do senior living communities need specialized marketing?

Senior living marketing differs from other industries in several ways: you're speaking to two audiences simultaneously (seniors and adult children), the decision journey averages 25 touchpoints over months, the emotional stakes are extremely high, and Canadian regulatory requirements (RHRA, AODA, PIPEDA, CASL) affect what you can say and how. Generic agencies miss these nuances.

What is SEO for senior living communities?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your retirement residence, assisted living, or memory care community appear prominently when families search Google for terms like 'retirement home near me,' 'assisted living in Toronto,' or 'memory care Calgary.' The higher you rank, the more families find you - research shows the top 3 results capture 68.7% of all clicks.

What is AI search optimization for senior living?

AI search optimization (also called GEO or AEO) ensures your community appears in AI-generated recommendations. When families ask ChatGPT 'What are the best assisted living options in Vancouver?' or use Perplexity to research memory care, optimized communities appear in the answers. Communities that haven't optimized for AI don't get mentioned.

How long does senior living marketing take to show results?

Results vary by service: Google Ads can generate leads immediately. SEO typically shows improvements within 3-6 months. Content marketing is a long-term strategy with compounding returns over 6-12 months. AI optimization often shows results within 2-4 months as platforms update their knowledge bases.

Do you work with single communities or only large operators?

Both. We serve single-community operators who need focused local marketing as well as multi-site portfolios requiring coordinated campaigns across locations. Our services scale to fit your situation.

How do I get started with Senior Maple Marketing?

Contact us for a free consultation. We'll discuss your community, your challenges, and your goals. From there, we typically recommend starting with a digital audit to assess your current state - or a focused service engagement if you have a specific need.
