    "I find that having that third party website, laying out all of these types of homes in the way that it does, acts like a filter to help families, which really helps us marketers and sales individuals to give us those qualified leads."
    

    —Adam Cranley, former Business Development Specialist, Metta Lifestyles

You may be surprised to learn that the majority of our communities are always near capacity and well-established in their community—and for many, we are the only place they advertise.

All of these communities have a similar aim: to make more efficient use of their marketing resources. They also understand the value of being on Canada’s #1 retirement-choice platform.

    "As a result of one of our digital audits that we were doing, Comfort Life again comes up towards the top in terms of search ranking."

    "Comfort Life is the go-to for retirement residence information and [for prospects] to learn more about the industry. We value the popularity of the site. Their team works behind the scenes to bring our retirement home to the forefront, giving comparisons at the click of a button."
    

    —Maria Brazda, General Manager at Arabella Retirement Living

Families use Comfort Life for the information and tools we provide for two main reasons:

1. We give families a macro view of their options in context; we help families analyze, compare, and shortlist their retirement living choices, in a structured framework. This gives families and seniors a sense of confidence — having "surveyed the landscape" — they don’t get from looking at communities in isolation.


2. We also give them a deeper understanding of their individual choices. In our annual survey, 43% of our website visitors told us they already had a community in mind as they used our site. These visitors are using our site to validate their thinking and conduct more thorough research.

• 

  "In both cases, [Comfort Life] makes it easier for people to find what they’re looking for and it makes us stand out and it allows them to compare different residences, because ultimately we don’t want them to choose one of our residences if it’s not the right place for them. You want people to find the right accommodation for them."
  

  —Mhairi Petrovic, Founder, Out-Smarts Marketing Inc.

    "In a rural area, it is easy to get known. However, the use of a product like Comfort Life in a market like that is usually the remote aspect for families. Urban is a bit different. There are so many competitors in an urban situation that it’s very hard to make an impact. The difference there [with Comfort Life] is distancing yourself from the pack a little bit."
    

    —Heather Green, President and CEO, Greenhouse Marketing and Communications

  • 
    "If someone were to look up a Toronto retirement home without Comfort Life, they would get [overwhelmed with] options. [Comfort Life] really helps steer people to what matters most to them, being close to their mom and dad and kind of washing away that white noise of homes that really aren’t a good fit anyway."
    
    "It’s not just a small sample size. We have different types of markets that both received very high qualified leads that convert. For us, that’s well worth it."
    

    —Adam Cranley, former Business Development Specialist, Metta Lifestyles

    "Comfort life is consistently at the top of pages for retirement search terms, providing visibility that a smaller home might not be able to have. This is extremely important to building communities and waitlists."

    "Langley is a very competitive market, dense population and lots of seniors communities. Out in Tsawwassen, it’s a smaller community. Comfort Life is sending us great leads in Langley and in Tsawwassen. It provides a great service for us."
