FAQs

About the Service

What exactly is CareAds and how does it work?

CareAds is an AI-powered advertising platform specifically designed for UK care homes. It simplifies the entire advertising process by handling everything from ad creation to campaign management across multiple platforms including Facebook, Google, Instagram, and more.

Here's how it works:

  1. 1
    Simple Setup: You provide basic information about your care home and target location (takes about 60 minutes)
  2. 2
    AI-Powered Creation: Our technology automatically creates compelling ad copy, selects or generates appropriate images, and produces videos tailored to attract families looking for care
  3. 3
    Multi-Platform Management: CareAds simultaneously sets up and manages your campaigns across up to 18 different advertising platforms, finding potential residents wherever they spend time online
  4. 4
    Optimization: The system continuously tests different ad variations, adjusts budgets, and refines targeting to ensure you're getting the best possible results at the lowest cost
  5. 5
    Results Tracking: You receive regular updates and can access a simple dashboard showing your campaign performance, enquiries generated, and other key metrics

The entire process requires minimal input from you - no marketing expertise needed. You can focus on providing excellent care while CareAds works in the background to fill your empty beds with qualified enquiries from families actively seeking care in your area.

Which advertising platforms does CareAds work with?

CareAds works with all major advertising platforms where potential residents and their families are likely to be searching for care options. Our system seamlessly manages your campaigns across up to 18 different platforms, including:


Social Media Platforms
- Facebook
- Instagram
- TikTok
- Snapchat
- LinkedIn
- YouTube


Search Engines
- Google Search
- Google Display Network
- Bing/Microsoft Advertising
- Google Maps


Specialized Advertising
- Google Shopping
- Facebook Messenger
- WhatsApp Business
- Spotify Audio Ads


The advantage of our multi-platform approach is that we can find potential residents wherever they spend time online. Different age groups and demographics prefer different platforms - adult children of potential residents might be on Facebook, while younger family members might be on TikTok or Instagram.

You don't need separate accounts or expertise for each platform. CareAds handles all the technical setup, account management, and optimization across all these channels from one central system, ensuring your care home is visible to families at the exact moment they're looking for care options in your area.

How long does it take to set up my first campaign?

Setting up your first campaign with CareAds is remarkably quick and straightforward, especially compared to traditional agency processes that can take weeks.The entire setup process takes approximately 60 minutes of your time, and your campaigns can be live within 24-48 hours. Here's the timeline breakdown:


1. Initial Setup (30-40 minutes):
- Provide basic information about your care home
- Answer some simple questions about your target audience and location
- Connect your website or share existing marketing materials (if available)


2. Account Connections (10-15 minutes):
- We'll guide you through connecting your business to the advertising platforms
- If you don't have existing ad accounts, we'll help create them


3. Campaign Review (10 minutes):
- Review the AI-generated ad content and campaign strategy
- Approve or request adjustments to the proposed campaigns


4. Launch Phase (24-48 hours):
- Our system handles all the technical setup across platforms
- Campaigns go through approval processes with each advertising platform
- Your ads begin appearing to potential residents and their families


After launch, the system runs automatically with continuous optimization. You'll only need to spend a few minutes each week reviewing performance and following up with the new enquiries CareAds generates for your care home.

Do I need any technical knowledge to use CareAds?

No technical expertise or marketing knowledge is required - we've designed the process to be as simple and time-efficient as possible for busy care home operators.

Results & Performance

How quickly can I expect to see results?

Most care homes using CareAds begin seeing initial results within the first 1-2 weeks, with performance typically improving over time as our AI system optimizes your campaigns.

Typical Timeline for Results:

Days 1-7: Campaign launch and initial data collection
- Ads begin appearing across platforms
- Initial impressions and engagement metrics become visible
- Early clicks and website visits may occur

Days 8-14: First enquiries typically start coming in
- The system begins identifying which messages and platforms work best for your specific care home
- Initial enquiries from families actively seeking care options
- Early optimization adjustments based on performance data

Days 15-30: Performance optimization phase
- Consistent flow of qualified enquiries begins to develop
- AI system refines targeting based on which demographics are responding best

Days 30-60: Full optimization and consistent results

- Predictable pattern of engagement and conversion
- System continues fine-tuning to improve cost per enquiry

Important Factors That Affect Timeline:

1. Your location and local competition - Areas with higher demand may see faster results
2. Your care home's unique selling points - Distinctive offerings can accelerate response rates
3. Seasonality in the care sector - Certain times of year naturally see higher search volumes
4. Your follow-up process - How quickly and effectively you respond to enquiries impacts conversion to residents

Remember that CareAds comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’ve launched your ads with a suitable budget and you're not seeing meaningful progress within the first month, you can request a full refund - giving you the confidence to try the system without financial risk.

What kind of ROI can I expect from using CareAds?

Care homes using CareAds typically see exceptional return on investment, especially when compared to traditional marketing agencies. Here's what you can realistically expect:

Financial ROI Perspective

- Average cost per qualified enquiry: £30-£60 (compared to £100-£200+ with traditional agencies)

- Average cost per new resident acquisition: £300-£900 (depending on your location and follow-up process)

- Potential return: With the average UK care home fee at £800-£1,500 per week, just one new resident can generate £41,600-£78,000 in annual revenue

For example, a care home investing £97+VAT per month (Occupancy Starter plan) in the middle of a sizeable city might expect:
- 5-10 qualified enquiries per month

- 1-2 new residents per quarter

- Potential annual revenue increase of £83,200-£156,000 from just 2-4 new residents


Time ROI Perspective

- Time saved: 15-20 hours per month you would otherwise spend on marketing or agency management

- Reduced stress: No more worrying about whether your marketing is working

- Focus benefit: More time to concentrate on providing excellent care and running your business


Comparative ROI

- Versus traditional agencies: Save approximately £32,000+ annually (compared to typical agency fees of £3,000+ per month)

- Versus doing nothing: Each empty bed costs £800-£1,500 per week in lost revenue (£41,600-£78,000 annually)

- Versus DIY marketing: Significantly higher conversion rates and lower cost per acquisition than non-expert marketing attempts


Timeline for ROI Achievement

Most care homes break even on their CareAds investment within the first 1-2 months. After that, the system continues generating enquiries and new residents, creating ongoing positive returns.

Remember that results can vary based on factors like your location, fee structure, current occupancy, and how effectively you convert enquiries into residents. Our system focuses on delivering qualified enquiries from families actively seeking care - your team's follow-up process plays an important role in maximizing the final ROI.

What happens if I don't get the results I expected?

We understand that trying a new marketing solution is a significant decision for your care home, which is why we've built several safeguards to protect your investment and ensure your satisfaction:

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
If you're not seeing meaningful progress within your first 30 days, we offer a complete money-back guarantee. Simply let us know you're not satisfied, and we'll refund your payment in full - no questions asked.

No Long-Term Contracts
Unlike traditional marketing agencies that lock you into 6-12 month contracts, CareAds operates on a simple monthly subscription. If you're not happy with the results, you can cancel at any time without penalty or ongoing commitment.

Proactive Performance Review
If your campaigns aren't performing as expected, our system will automatically flag this for review. You can then request a performance review where we will:

1. Conduct a thorough analysis of your campaign performance
2. Identify potential barriers to success
3. Implement strategic adjustments to improve results
4. Provide specific recommendations for your care home


Dedicated Support

Our higher tier plans include access to our support team who can:

- Review your specific situation
- Provide guidance on improving campaign performance

Optimization Assistance
Sometimes small adjustments can make a big difference. If results aren't meeting expectations, we can help with:

We're committed to your success because we understand the significant impact that proper occupancy has on your care home's sustainability. Our goal is to create a long-term partnership that consistently delivers value, not just to collect a monthly fee.

Remember, marketing is both an art and a science - sometimes it takes a little fine-tuning to get optimal results for your specific situation. We're with you every step of the way to ensure CareAds delivers the enquiries and residents your care home needs.

No, CareAds operates on a simple month-to-month subscription basis with no long-term commitments. You can cancel at any time without penalties or hidden fees. This flexibility allows you to try our service without being locked into an extended contract, unlike traditional marketing agencies that typically require 6-12 month commitments.

How does the 30-day money-back guarantee work?

Our 30-day money-back guarantee is straightforward: All we ask is that you set up at least one campaign, add at least the minimum recommended budget and give it 30 days to work its magic.

After that, if you're not completely satisfied with CareAds, simply email our support team to request a refund. We'll process a full refund of your subscription fee with no questions asked.

Technical & Integration

Do I need to provide my own images and content?

No, you don't need to provide your own images or content, though if you have them we recommend you do. 

CareAds' AI system will:

- Generate compelling ad copy tailored to your care home

- Access an extensive library of care-specific stock images

- Create custom visuals using AI image generation

- Produce videos and animations for your campaigns

Uploading your own photos of your care home, staff, or facilities will add a more personal touch to your campaigns and they may perform better because of this, but it’s entirely optional.

All content created is specifically designed to appeal to families looking for care options in your area.

Who owns the advertising accounts created through CareAds?

You do. All advertising accounts (Google, Facebook, etc.) are created in your care home's name and remain 100% your property. 

CareAds simply connects to these accounts to manage campaigns on your behalf. If you ever decide to stop using CareAds, you retain full ownership and access to all accounts, campaign history, and data. This ensures you maintain complete control of your digital marketing assets at all times.
