We're building the most comprehensive senior directory on the Web

GrayTimes is compiling the Web’s largest directory of resources for Minnesota seniors — more than 4,500 listings and counting. Our directory is easy to use and search. We're continually expanding and updating it to keep it fresh. While there are many senior housing directories on the Web — and we do have a comprehensive database of housing — our directory includes a wide range of services aimed at seniors. From grocery delivery and in-home pet care to elder law and financial planners, we cover the interests of consumers and decision-makers in this market.

Premium listings in our directory give you increased exposure, with links to your Website that help improve your traffic and search engine position. Maps automatically provide easy to follow driving instructions to your facilities or offices.

Aim your services directly at your target market with GrayTimes Marketplace

Marketplace, our classified advertising section, reaches the right consumers at the right time, when they're looking for information on elder care services or jobs in the elder care industry. And it does it at a cost that makes it easy for you to advertise a whole range of products and services. Ads can be purchased one at a time, or in an unlimited number over the course of a year with our subscription level account.

Present your advertising to readers looking for information to get results

Your full-color display advertising will reach people actively looking for information. Whether they're paging through our comprehensive online directory of Minnesota elder care services or reading one of our articles on topics of interest to Minnesota seniors, they'll see display ads on the screen.

GrayTimes display ads are targeted more carefully than any ad you can place in a newspaper. Display ads are first randomized, so each ad will have a chance to be shown on any page. Once a reader has selected a category in our directory, only ads from that category will be shown as long as the reader is on the GrayTimes site. All display ads provide links to your Web page. And that means your ads are more likely to produce the results you want!

Invite the 55+ market to your event

The GrayTimes Events Calendar gives you the opportunity to publicize upcoming events. Whether you're promoting a new retirement community with a big open house or sponsoring a seminar on long-term care insurance, you'll find the Events Calendar a timely and cost-effective way to present your information to Minnesota seniors.

Improve your own Website's search engine rankings and draw more traffic

Take advantage of a free membership in the GrayTimes Senior Web Network, a "Web Ring" of sites that target the senior market. The increased visibility of your site and the in-bound links from sites with similar content will help you improve your position in search engines, like Google, and will draw increased traffic. Membership in the Network is free, but requires that you include some extra HTML code on your home page to participate; holders of Premium Listings in the GrayTimes directory are exempt from the requirement to add this code to their home page.
