Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about funeral homes marketing? We have got honest answers in the UK.

Who is this page for? expand_more
It is for the owner or manager of a UK funeral director. It is not for families arranging a funeral, and HeyLead does not arrange funerals or advise on them.
Do you use humour or pressure in your copy? expand_more
No. Funeral marketing should be plain, kind and accurate. A person reviews every page, ad and post for tone before it goes live, and we do not use countdowns, scarcity or fear in the UK.
Is Ever Loved part of this page? expand_more
Ever Loved is a HeyLead client on our US pages. UK pages do not present it as a UK firm, and we do not invent UK clients, branches or results.
Do you create listings for branches we do not have? expand_more
No. A Business Profile should show a real branch with real staff, in line with the platform's rules. We build presence around the towns and boroughs the firm genuinely serves in the UK.
What about price transparency rules? expand_more
The Competition and Markets Authority's funerals order sets out how funeral directors publish prices, including on their websites. Where a page shows prices we work from the firm's current price list, and the firm stays responsible for compliance. We are marketers, not lawyers in the UK.
Can you promote funeral plans? expand_more
Pre-paid funeral plans are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, so the wording of any plan page or ad should be agreed with the firm's compliance adviser. We write factual copy and the firm approves it before it runs in the UK.
Do you use NAFD or SAIF wording? expand_more
Only where the firm is a current member, and using the wording the association permits. We do not add logos, codes or accreditations a firm cannot show in the UK.
Do you target people who have just been bereaved? expand_more
No. We do not target grief, and we do not write ads that imply we know someone is bereaved. Search ads answer people who are actively looking, and social ads focus on community and planning in the UK.
Can you cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland? expand_more
Yes. We build pages and campaigns around the places the firm serves. Practices and rules can differ between the nations, so the firm should confirm its wording with its own adviser or trade body in the UK.
How do you measure results? expand_more
We count enquiries, calls of meaningful length, plan requests and arranged funerals, not clicks or impressions. Reports with VAT shown on our fee page in the UK.
