What is actually wrong

Four numbers that make communities leave. Four that replace them.

Each column is a figure a community runs into, with where that figure comes from, and the published Ziwi figure that replaces it.

The website Thousands, up front What a community is quoted to have a website built The round number operators repeat on the call. A word, not a survey.
At Ziwi $0 The $1,000 build fee is waived when you keep a plan 12 months. Hosting included.
A change Weeks How long new tour hours or a floor plan waits to go on the site The word operators use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi 24 hours Small edits and content changes, done, by the person who built the page.
Tours None you can trace Scheduled tours you can point to from what you spent last month The gap operators describe: a report of impressions, a tour calendar with the same gaps in it. Not a measured average.
At Ziwi Per community Cost per inquiry and per scheduled tour, reported weekly for each community. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement 12 months A typical agency contract term One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi Month to month You own the website, the domain and the ad accounts. Leaving costs $0.

Three of the four figures on the top row are words rather than numbers, because no measured industry average exists for any of them: "thousands" is what operators say the last website quote was, "weeks" is how long a change waits, and the third column is the outcome operators cannot point to, not a count of anything. Every Ziwi figure under the rule is published on this site today.

What you get

What a senior living community gets every month, in writing

Six lines, one team, one report. Every one sits on the same published list every industry pays, and every one can be turned on by itself.

Families searching a town plus assisted living find your community

The map pack, the organic results and the AI answers, one profile and one set of pages per community.

Senior living SEO and local search $297, $597 or $997 a month per location

Your name and your towns get the ad, not broad terms

Assisted living clicks averaged $78.95 in our September 2026 keyword pull, so spend is aimed narrowly and paid from your own account.

Google Ads Managed from $297 a month

Adult children nearby see the community before they search

Floor plans, what is included and tour times, shown to families in the towns you draw from.

Meta ads for senior living Managed from $297 a month

Every community has its own pages, floor plans and tour form

Assisted living, memory care, independent living, what is included and a price range, each on its own page.

Every inquiry is answered before the family moves down the list

A text back in seconds, the questions answered, the tour written into your calendar.

The work

The parts of the page that book the tour

One build, with the three parts a family uses marked on it.

More builds from the library

There is no senior living build in the library yet, so these are the closest residential and service businesses. Yours gets rebuilt around your communities, your floor plans and the form a family actually fills in. Nothing on it claims anything about care.

Updates, maintenance and the terms

What working with us is actually like

Ask for a website change and it is done within 24 hours. Everything the marketing runs on is in the community's name from day one.

A change, start to finish

Can you add Saturday morning tour hours to the memory care page? They start this weekend.

The community, Tuesday, 9:12 am
Within 24 hours, always

Done. It is live, here is the link.

Ziwi, Tuesday, 2:40 pm

An illustration of one change request, not a case study. Small edits and content changes within 24 hours, by the person who built the page. Larger builds get a dated quote.

In your name on day one
  • The website
  • The domain
  • The Google and Meta ad accounts
  • The tracking and the data

Ad spend goes to Google or Meta directly, never through us. Month to month, and the logins are yours whenever you ask.
