Care at home

Illustration of the path from a family's search to care at home.

What is actually wrong

Four numbers that make home care agencies leave. Four that replace them.

Four figures a home care owner runs into, where each comes from, and the Ziwi figure beside it.

The website Thousands, up front What an agency is quoted for a site with a page per county The round number owners repeat on the call. A word, not a survey.
At Ziwi $0 With a plan kept 12 months, the $2,500 build fee comes off. Hosting included.
A change Weeks How long a new county waits to go on the site The word owners use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi 24 hours A new county, a new payer, a new service: live within 24 hours, by the person who built it.
The inquiry Next business day When a daughter's Friday 4 pm inquiry hears back from a person Discharges land at 4 pm on a Friday. The phrase agencies use for their own follow-up, not a measured average.
At Ziwi 72 seconds A text back day or night, the first visit on your calendar. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement 12 months The term an agency is asked to sign, longer than most care plans One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi Month to month Site, domain and ad accounts are in the agency's name. Leave in any month for $0.

Three top-row figures are words, not counts: "thousands" is the last quote owners recall, "weeks" is how long a new county waited, and "next business day" is when a Friday inquiry heard back. Every Ziwi figure under the rule is published on this site today.

Questions

Asked, answered, and the fine print beside it

Six questions an agency owner asks on the call, the answer in orange, and the qualifier beside it.
The questionThe answerThe fine print
Which marketing agencies for home health care agencies work month to month? Ziwi does, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month, every rung published. Elsewhere, $249 a month for a site plus lead capture (Always Do Better); SEO programs of $950 to $4,000 a month (Sagapixel) (checked November 2026). See what home care marketing costs, line by line. $497 when spend is $1,500 to $3,500, $797 beyond. Spend stays yours.
What licensing lines should a home health agency show on its website? The state license number, the payers accepted, whether caregivers are bonded and insured, and the counties served. A Medicare-certified agency should say so, in the footer. Never client details.
Do home care agencies get more inquiries from Google or Facebook? Google. After a hospital discharge the family types the need and the county and calls from the map pack. Facebook comes second, reaching families before discharge. Search first.
What if we leave? You own it all, at $0. Month to month. We hand the logins over. There is nothing owed.
How fast can we be live? The campaigns in 24 hours, the website in 3 days. Counted after discovery, approvals and access.
Is the free home care website really free? Yes, the $2,500 build fee comes off entirely. On a $99 hosting plan or $299 Ziwi Care for 12 months. County pages included.

Month to month throughout. See every published price.
