Google Ads for home health care agencies, wound one bobbin per service line
Google Ads sets your agency's text ad beside a search such as home health care near me
just as the household types it. We build those ads, run them inside your own account, and tally every call and form that comes through them.
Every service line and every town gets a bobbin to itself, so the thread begun in the search runs through the ad and ends on the matching panel of your website.
Why this platform comes first
The ad that sits where the typed words land
A household that types in home care agencies
or home health care company
has already said what it is after. A Google ad can reply in the agency's own words: the service line, the town, the intake line. That is why Google Ads is the platform we start a paid ads plan with; Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) and Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) join later, a platform at a time.
Google holds ads for care-related services to limits of its own on wording and aiming. They are there for you to read, and each ad waits for your yes on its text and its aim. Acceptance is Google's call, never ours.
You open the account yourself, with your card on file. Whatever Google charges for clicks reaches you from Google, apart from our monthly fee. Client details never enter an ad or a tracking tag, and no household detail is used to aim.
Four fittings in a Google Ads account for an agency
- Bobbins
An ad group wound per service line
Every service line has ads and a landing panel of its own, so ad wording and page wording match.
- Towns
Aim by town and county
Ads follow the towns and counties on your list and stay out of places the agency does not serve.
- Phone line
Your intake line on the ad
A caller from the ad reaches the number you gave us, and the call is tallied under the ad that rang it.
- Keep-outs
Searches sewn shut
Searches about jobs, schooling, other agencies and price are shut out, so budget is not burned on clicks that cannot be answered.
What a household types, the bobbin it joins and where the click lands
| A search typed in Google | Bobbin it joins | Panel the click reaches |
|---|---|---|
| A town name beside in-home care | The group wound for that town | That town's landing panel |
| A home health care agency near the searcher | The near-me group for the service area | The panel of the nearest town served |
| One service line by its plain name | The group for that service line | That service line's panel |
| A search that names a different agency | Shut out by the keep-out list | No ad is shown |
| A search about jobs at an agency | Shut out by the keep-out list | No ad is shown |
How the first Google campaign is wound and hung
Wind a bobbin per line
From your service lines and towns we cut ad groups and tie each to its matching landing panel.
Write the text lines
Ad text uses only wording you handed us. We read it against Google's limits for care-related ads, and it waits for your yes.
Set the tension
You choose the monthly spend and Google bills your card. As counts show where calls come from, we tighten the thread on some service lines and loosen it on others.
Turn the cloth over monthly
We read which searches triggered the ads, grow the keep-out list, and write up what each ad drew in calls and forms.
Have these ready before the first ad is drafted
- A Google Ads account that you open, with your own card attached
- The service lines to advertise, in your wording
- The towns and counties to aim at
- The phone line the intake line rings on
- A monthly spend that you have chosen
- The ad wording read against Google's limits for care-related ads
- A list of searches you never want to appear for
Spend on clicks sits apart from our fee, and Google bills it.
Three snags in how owners picture Google Ads
Heard at the sewing tableA bigger budget makes the ad suit the search better.
What the cloth showsSpend decides how long the ad can run in a day. Whether its wording fits the search is settled by the bobbins, so we work the fit before the spend.
Heard at the sewing tableEvery click is a call request.
What the cloth showsA click shows interest only. What we count is a call to the intake line or a sent form.
Heard at the sewing tableOne landing page can serve every ad.
What the cloth showsEach ad lands on the panel for the service line and town it names, so the thread holds between ad and page.
Google Ads inside the three ad plans
Carried by every ad plan alike
- We open the ad account under your login, which keeps it yours should we ever go separate ways
- Wording, keyword lists and tracking get built before the first dollar of click spend
- A growing negative keyword list turns away job seekers and unrelated searches
- Every click lands on your card through the platform, and none of that money touches us
- Each ad reaches you for approval first, because the platforms hold care-related ads to their own limits
- A monthly roundup of calls and form notes, sorted by campaign
One ad platform
$895/month
We run whichever single platform you pick: Google Ads, Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) or Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram).
Two ad platforms
$1,595/month
Any two of Google Ads, Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) and Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) run beside each other.
Three ad platforms
$2,295/month
Google Ads, Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) and Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) are all worked in the same month.
Prices are per month. We ask for nothing in advance and hold you to no contract; the platforms charge ad spend separately.
Before a Google ad runs, owners wonder
Under whose name does the account sit?
How is a call told from a click?
Will you promise an ad will be approved by Google?
Can an ad say anything about the agency's services?
Can other platforms join later?
Bring us your service lines and towns
Tell us through the form where the agency works, or let the picker choose the hour at which the CEO phones.
Which towns and services come first?
Name the services the agency offers, the towns and counties it covers and the local groups that mention it. Keep clients out of your note: no names, no addresses and no details of anyone's situation.
Let us pull the first stitch together
Tell the CEO which weekday and hour suit you and he phones then, or leave a note in the form whenever you have a minute. Our first move is the same either way: your Maps listing, your website and your ads spread across one table to find the loose thread.
The little house in thread is only a drawing.
