Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)

A Marketing Qualified Lead is a prospect who has demonstrated interest through marketing engagement and meets predefined criteria indicating sales readiness. MQLs have moved beyond initial awareness, showing intent through actions like downloading resources, attending webinars, or repeated website visits.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

For home care agencies, MQLs might include website visitors who view multiple service pages, download care guides, request information packets, or spend significant time on pricing pages. These behaviors signal genuine interest beyond casual browsing.

Defining MQL criteria helps prioritize follow-up efforts. Someone who downloaded your “Complete Guide to Choosing Home Care” and visited your service area page twice warrants immediate outreach, while a single blog visitor might receive automated nurturing first.

Key Takeaway

Establish clear MQL criteria based on actions that historically correlate with conversions. This ensures your team focuses energy on prospects most likely to become clients rather than chasing every website visitor equally.
