Aztek Boosts Local Visibility for a Senior Living Organization by 30% with a Google Business Profile Overhaul

A nationwide senior living organization managing hundreds of communities came to us with a visibility challenge. Each location had its own online presence, but listings were inconsistent or incomplete without centralized control. These disorganized locations limited their exposure in local search results, causing missed opportunities for new inquiries and housing applications from families actively looking for senior care options.

Pain Points:

Fragmented Google Business Profile (GBP) Access and Verification

Each facility had its own GBP, but some were unverified, others had outdated info, and no one had full access to all of them. The lack of any consistent approach made local management feel impossible.

Losing Local Visibility to Competitors

When families searched for “senior living near me,” competitors were showing up instead. Even with great facilities and strong brand awareness, they weren’t being seen in the local searches where it mattered most.

Missed Opportunities for New Inquiries

The team knew families were searching for care options online, but calls, direction requests, and website visits were lower than expected, and application interest wasn’t keeping pace with demand. It wasn’t a problem of reputation or quality care; their listings simply weren’t showing up where people were looking.

Strategy & Execution

We knew this challenge wasn’t about interest, because families were out there searching for senior living options every day. The real problem was visibility and consistency, so we built a plan to get every location verified, optimized, and ready to capture that demand.

Bulk Verification of Google Business Profiles

  • The first step was cleanup. We audited every facility’s listing, flagged duplicates, fixed ownership issues, and verified all remaining profiles in bulk. Once verified, each community’s listing gained trust in Google’s eyes – and instantly became easier for families to find in Maps and Search results.

Creating Consistency Across All Locations

  • Next, we standardized the details: business names, categories, office hours, photos, and calls to action. Every community now had a professional, accurate, and unified presence that reflected the quality of care they offered. By cleaning up data across dozens of listings, we also made it easier for local staff to manage updates going forward.

Local Optimization to Compete and Win

  • Once the groundwork was set, we focused on optimization. We strengthened local keywords, updated imagery to better represent the communities, and ensured “Call,” “Directions,” and “Website” buttons were active on every listing. These optimizations made it simple for prospective residents and families to connect with fewer clicks and no confusion.

Connecting Local Visibility to Lead Generation

  • We didn’t just measure impressions. We tied GBP insights directly to inquiry metrics, including tracking calls, form submissions, and housing applications that originated from Google listings. These insights helped prove the connection between better visibility and increased interest from families ready to take the next step.

The Results

+30% visibility

across Google Search and Maps within the first three months.

+20% more phone calls

from listings as families connected directly with local communities.

+17% increase in website visits

from Google profiles, driving more form submissions and housing applications.
