About the customer
Name: Vishomil Limited
Industry: Care home group
Location: Brighouse, West Yorkshire
Goal: Increase local awareness and drive more calls and visits
background
The challenge
Vishomil Limited operates two residential care homes. Their focus was on St Winifred’s Nursing & Residential Care Home in Brighouse, which needed full occupancy. Known for its secure, relaxed, and homely environment, St Winifred’s wanted to ensure that local families knew about its services.
In January 2024, their account manager, Paul Winrow, conducted a full marketing audit and recommended a tailored Amplify digital marketing solution to boost their visibility and lead generation.
John Field-Lee, Registered Manager at St Winifred’s Care Home, says, “We engaged Yell to build and launch a website for our service, with the goal of improving our online presence and increasing independent referrals to the home. The Yell team worked closely with us to define our requirements, refine content, and create a site that met our needs. They’ve continued to guide and support us in using it effectively.”
“Since going live, we’ve seen a considerable increase in direct enquiries. Previously we were receiving 2 enquiries a month, and now we receive 4-5 enquiries a week. The website has also assisted us with increasing the number of private clients we support. Previously we had 5 private clients, and we have now doubled this number since the site launched. The Yell team have been wonderful in assisting us at each stage. They are helpful, approachable and adaptable.”

Together, we’ve seen incredible results for St Winifred’s, and we’re all over the moon with how their website has boosted local awareness, referrals, and occupancy – making a real difference to their business. I’m excited to see the same success as we expand to their other care home.”
