Turning Hidden Website Visitors Into Future Residents: Holland Home’s Roobrik Story

Holland Home uses Roobrik to reach hidden website visitors, improve lead quality, and drive move-ins through personalized, early engagement.

Holland Home, a CCRC community committed to residents and their families, discovered an impactful way to engage prospective residents earlier in their decision-making journey. Like many senior living communities, Holland Home was curious about the “hidden audience” — those website visitors who aren’t yet ready to engage with sales but are actively researching and seeking information that could help guide their decisions.”

In 2023, after learning about Roobrik through Ziegler and the LinkAge Academy, Holland Home’s leadership team launched Roobrik’s decision-support surveys across its website, aiming to connect with these hidden researchers in a more thoughtful, empowering way.

The Roobrik Difference

By 2024, Holland Home had fully integrated Roobrik Surveys across its website. In the first full calendar year, the results spoke volumes.

  • 150-plus new qualified Roobrik leads.
  • Four CCRC move-ins directly attributed to Roobrik.
  • Two additional move-ins already in progress for the following year.

“With Roobrik, our team starts with momentum,” said Michael Loughman, vice president of sales and brand marketing. “Instead of starting at zero, we start at 30 miles per hour. We already know about a prospect’s timeline, care needs, financial situation, and even their motivations before we pick up the phone.”

Why It Matters

Roobrik gave Holland Home’s team something invaluable: insights before interaction. Sensitive topics, like finances and health, were more comfortably shared through Roobrik’s online surveys than in face-to-face conversations. This made sales conversations more personal and supportive, ultimately creating better initial interactions.

By the Numbers

Holland Home’s performance exceeded Roobrik’s benchmark across key metrics.

  • 48% survey completion rate (Roobrik benchmark: 40-60%).
  • 14% conversion rate from website users to leads (Roobrik benchmark: 6-12%).
  • 44% opt-in rate among survey completers (Roobrik benchmark: 20-40%).
  • 2.6% move-in rate (Roobrik benchmark: 2-5%).

Building a Stronger Nurture Strategy

Beyond immediate move-ins, Roobrik enabled Holland Home to create a thoughtful nurture sequence for prospects who were “not ready yet.” These prospects received informative emails featuring educational content about the reasons to consider a move, the advantages of a CCRC, and other resources to assist their journey. Holland Home experienced high engagement and email retention rates, keeping their communities at the forefront until prospects were ready.

“Even if people are not ready to move today, Roobrik gives them something tangible, their personalized report that they can use as a guide,” Loughman said. “It is about meeting them where they are. That builds trust, and that is what matters.”

Looking Ahead

Holland Home is excited about Aline CRM’s recent acquisition of Roobrik and anticipates even more streamlined prospect journeys in the future.

“Roobrik feels like a real partnership, not just a vendor relationship,” Loughman said. “The ROI has been incredible, and the support from the Roobrik team, from performance reviews to strategic advice, makes a real difference.”
