Five Stages. One System.
Clients move from not knowing you to sending you referrals. Each step below moves them one stage further.
Why clients stay away
Three Reasons the Phone Is Quiet.
Nobody can tell you are safe to hire.
Buyers need proof of licence, insurance and screening before they call.
Nobody has asked.
Most contracts go to the agency that picked up the phone and made a clear offer.

Tap "Mark as done" on each step as you finish it. Your progress is saved in this browser only and never sent to us.
Prove you are safe to hire
Outcome: a one-page trust pack you can send in minutes.
- Your licence number, so buyers can check the public registry.
- Your WSIB clearance certificate.
- Your insurance certificates.
- A sample credential file with personal details removed.
- Your orientation outline.
- A one-page rate sheet and cancellation policy.
Target: ready by day 10.
Claim your Google Business Profile
Outcome: you show up in Maps and local searches.
- Claim and verify the profile.
- Choose the closest primary category.
- Add service areas, hours, phone and a services list.
- Add photos (people only with consent).
- Post weekly and reply to every review.
Never offer rewards for reviews and never name clients. Google and privacy rules do not allow it.
Target: verified in week 1; 5 reviews in 60 days.
Build a website that converts
Outcome: in under 10 seconds, a visitor knows who you serve, that you are licensed, and how to contact you.
- Two clear paths: one for facilities, one for families and clinicians.
- Click-to-call and a booking button on every page.
- Licence, WSIB and insurance badges.
- One case study and an FAQ.
- Fast, mobile-friendly pages.
- Forms that go straight into your CRM.
Target: one page per main service and city.
Local SEO and keywords
Outcome: the right people find you when they search.
- One page per service and city.
- Put the keyword in the title, the main heading and the first paragraph.
- Answer family questions in short blog posts.
- Add FAQ markup.
- Get listed with relevant local directories and associations.
- Ask partners to link to you.
Target: one new page or post a week. Rankings take months.
Show up on social media
Outcome: facility managers and families see proof that you are active and reliable.
- LinkedIn for facility decision-makers.
- Facebook for families and caregivers.
- Short videos for recruiting and trust.
- Mix your posts: proof (shifts filled), education, people stories (with consent) and hiring.
- Open each post with a real pain, then help.
Target: three posts a week.
Search for leads
Outcome: a list of 50 named buyers in your area, with contact details.
- List long-term care homes (Ministry of Long-Term Care directory).
- List retirement homes (Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority register).
- Add group homes, clinics and hospitals.
- Use Google Maps and LinkedIn to find the Director of Care, administrator or scheduling lead.
- Watch public tender portals.
- Record every lead in your CRM.
Target: 50 facilities by day 25.
Reach out every day
Outcome: conversations booked every week.
- Five contacts a day: by phone, in person or on LinkedIn.
- Open with a question: "Which shifts are hardest to fill right now?"
- Offer the trust pack, not a price list.
- Follow up on days 1, 4, 10 and 21.
In Canada, cold email to businesses has consent rules under CASL, so check them first. Calls and visits are the simplest first contact.
Target: three conversations a week.
Win referral partners
Outcome: a steady flow of families sent by people they trust.
- Meet hospital discharge planners and social workers, case managers and geriatric care managers.
- Meet occupational therapists, physiotherapists and physicians' offices.
- Meet estate lawyers and seniors' groups.
- Leave a one-page sheet.
- Report back on every referral.
Some public-sector staff can only share a list of providers, so ask how to be added. Never give gifts or payment for referrals.
Target: five partner meetings in 60 days.
Build local connections
Outcome: people in your community know your name before they need you.
- Attend sector association events and local business meetings.
- Offer a free talk at seniors' centres.
- Partner with PSW and nursing college placement offices. This also feeds your recruiting.
Target: one event or talk a month.
Run a trial, prove it, then ask
Outcome: trials become contracts, contracts become references, and references become new clients.
- Offer a paid trial of 10 to 20 shifts.
- Send a fill-rate report after week two.
- Sign a master services agreement.
- Ask for a written reference and a Google review.
- Write a case study with consent.
- Ask each client for one introduction.
Target: one anchor client by day 75.
