Care websites and search in West Sussex
Care is the only sector we work in. West Sussex is a top heavy county: Worthing alone holds 116 of its registered services, more than one in five, and a search result in Worthing looks nothing like one in Horsham. Whether you want to start building your new website or rank the one you have, the figures below are where it starts.

What that means if you run a service here
231 providers in West Sussex have no website at all. If you have one, you are already ahead of two in five of your competitors. The question is whether yours answers what families ask before they ring, because most of the ones we review do not.
73% are rated Good or Outstanding, so a good rating does not make you stand out here. It is the baseline. What separates you is whether a family comparing three homes at eleven at night can find your fees, your availability and a way to visit.
Most enquiries here start with money, not with care. A family works out whether they are self funding long before they ring anybody, and the page they check first is usually West Sussex County Council's adult social care pages. If your own site cannot answer the question that page leaves open, which is what it costs at your service specifically, the enquiry goes to whoever does.
206 of the 545 are home care or live-in providers, which makes recruitment as competitive as enquiries. Every one of them is advertising for the same carers in the same towns, and most are paying a job board to do it.
What good looks like in a West Sussex search
This is the search a family in Bognor Regis makes when a parent needs help at home, and this is the difference between the providers who have done the work and the ones who have not.
About 185,400 results. The first two are lists. The third is an agency.

An illustration. Google decides which enhancements it shows for any search.
Two directories, then a provider. The directories are there because they have thousands of pages and a decade of links, and no amount of rewriting your About page changes that.
What does change is the third result. Hours, coverage, what you charge and how fast you can start, all readable before the click. 206 home care and live in providers are registered in West Sussex, and the number publishing that is close to none.
It is not a trick and it is not paid placement. It is the same page, marked up so a search engine can read it.
The markup underneath it
Care providers are the easiest sector in the country to mark up properly, because what a family wants to know is exactly what schema.org already has fields for. Almost nobody here does it.

An illustration, and a deliberately ordinary one. Nothing here is unusual or clever, which is what makes the fact that almost nobody publishes it worth knowing.
