An infographic comparing the reliable growth of daily posting as a retirement plan against the unpredictability of viral content as a lottery ticket.

The Power of Daily Posting for Rehabs (Why Consistency Beats Viral)

, , , ,

Every rehab director dreams of it:

One post. One video. One piece of content that goes viral and brings in a flood of calls.

But here’s the thing about viral content: It’s not reliable. It’s not predictable. And it’s not a strategy.

Viral is a lottery ticket. Daily posting is a retirement plan.

Consistency beats viral every single time.

Let’s break down why.

The Viral Myth

We’ve all seen it. A video gets millions of views overnight. A post gets shared thousands of times. It seems like magic.

But here’s what nobody tells you about viral content:

  • ❌ It’s unpredictable

  • ❌ It’s not repeatable

  • ❌ It doesn’t build long-term trust

  • ❌ It doesn’t create consistent results

  • ❌ You can’t build a business on it

Viral is a lightning strike. You can’t plan for it. You can’t count on it.

And for rehabs, it’s especially unreliable. Families in crisis don’t share memes. They don’t “like” treatment centers. They search for help.

The Consistency Advantage

Here’s what daily posting actually delivers:

✅ Predictable results
When you post daily, you know what to expect. Impressions grow. Calls come in. Month after month.

✅ Algorithm favor
Google, YouTube, and social platforms reward consistency. They see you as active and relevant. They show your content to more people.

✅ Trust building
Families see your name day after day. They remember you. They trust you. When they’re ready, they call you.

✅ Search visibility
Google indexes your posts. Every post is another opportunity to be found in search results.

✅ Competitive advantage
Most rehabs don’t post daily. When you do, you outpace your competitors. You show up when they don’t.

That’s the power of consistency.

The Flywheel Effect

Here’s what happens when you commit to daily posting:

Month 1: Impressions start building. A few calls come in. The flywheel starts spinning.

Month 2: More impressions. More calls. The flywheel gains speed.

Month 3: Consistent calls. Growing brand awareness. The flywheel is in motion.

Month 6+: Dominance. You’re everywhere families search. The flywheel keeps spinning on its own.

That’s the flywheel effect. And it only works with consistency.

Why Quantity Matters

Some agencies say “quality over quantity.”

Here’s the truth: You need both. But quality doesn’t matter if nobody sees it.

  • 40 posts per month = 40 chances to be found

  • 252 posts per month = 252 chances to be found

Which rehab is going to show up more often?

Quantity creates visibility. Visibility creates trust. Trust creates calls.

That’s why we deliver 252 posts per month across 6 platforms. Not because every post is perfect. Because every post is another opportunity.

Learn more about what our system delivers.

The Real Results

This isn’t theory. Here’s what happens when you commit to daily posting:

In just 7 days, a real client saw:

  • 25 phone calls

  • 78 website visits

  • 25,000+ impressions

No viral video. No lightning strike. Just consistent, daily posting.

That’s the power of consistency.

You can see the full client results for yourself.

The Bottom Line

Viral content is a lottery ticket. Daily posting is a retirement plan.

One is unpredictable. The other is reliable.

When you post daily, you build momentum that lasts. You build trust that converts. You build a library of content that works for you day after day, month after month.

That’s the power of consistency. And it’s the only strategy that works long-term.

An ultimate checklist infographic contrasting typical agencies with Rehabinate across non-dealbreakers, red flags, and essential criteria.

What to Look for in a Rehab Marketing Agency (The Ultimate Checklist)

, , ,

Choosing a rehab marketing agency is a big decision.

You’re trusting them with your budget, your brand, and ultimately, your ability to reach families who need help.

But here’s the problem: Most marketing agencies look the same on the surface.

They all promise results. They all say they understand rehab marketing. They all show you impressive-looking reports.

So how do you choose the right one?

Here’s your ultimate checklist. Use it to evaluate any agency you’re considering.

The Non-Negotiables

These are the absolute must-haves. If an agency doesn’t meet these, walk away.

✅ They Measure Calls, Not Just Likes

If they’re bragging about likes, followers, or comments, they don’t understand rehab marketing. Families in crisis don’t “like” rehabs. They call.

  • What to look for: They track phone calls, website visits, and brand awareness.

  • Red flag: They only report likes, followers, and engagement.

✅ They Post Daily

Google rewards consistency. If they’re not posting daily, you’re falling behind your competitors.

  • What to look for: Daily posting. Every single day. No exceptions.

  • Red flag: “We focus on quality over quantity” or “We post when we have content.”

✅ They Post to Google Business Profile

GBP is your live search engine. It drives local calls, direction requests, and website visits.

  • What to look for: Daily GBP posts included in their service.

  • Red flag: “We don’t do GBP” or “That’s an extra fee.”

✅ They Have Transparent Pricing

If they hide their pricing, they’re hiding something.

  • What to look for: Clear, upfront pricing on their website. No “request a quote” games.

  • Red flag: “We need a consultation to quote you” or no pricing on their website.

✅ No Long-Term Contracts

If they’re confident in their results, they don’t need to lock you in.

  • What to look for: Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

  • Red flag: 6–12 month contracts.

The Nice-to-Haves

These aren’t dealbreakers, but they’re important.

✅ They Use Video

Video builds trust faster than any other format. YouTube is the second largest search engine.

  • What to look for: Video included in their service.

  • Red flag: “Video is extra” or “We don’t do video.”

✅ They Cover Multiple Platforms

Families search everywhere. You need to be everywhere.

  • What to look for: At least 4–6 platforms.

  • Red flag: “We only do Facebook” or “We focus on one or two platforms.”

✅ They Have Rehab Experience

Not all agencies understand addiction treatment marketing.

  • What to look for: Experience with rehabs, understanding of HIPAA, knowledge of the industry.

  • Red flag: They don’t know the difference between detox and IOP.

✅ They Provide Monthly Reports

You need to know what’s working and what isn’t.

  • What to look for: Monthly reports showing calls, visits, impressions, and search terms.

  • Red flag: “We can send you a report if you ask” or no reporting at all.

The Dealbreakers

If you see any of these, walk away immediately.

❌ They Measure Vanity Metrics
Likes, followers, comments, shares. These don’t drive admissions.

❌ They Require a Contract
They’re not confident in their results. They want to trap you.

❌ They Charge Setup Fees
This is a cash grab. There’s no reason for setup fees in 2026.

❌ They Don’t Post Daily
You’re falling behind competitors who do.

❌ They Don’t Do Video
Video is essential. If they’re not doing it, they’re behind.

❌ They Hide Their Pricing
They want to size up your budget before telling you a price.

The Rehabinate Comparison

Here’s how Rehabinate stacks up against other agencies:

What other agencies deliver:

❌ Often measure likes instead of calls
❌ Sporadic posting, not daily
❌ Rarely post to Google Business Profile
❌ Hidden pricing with “request a quote”
❌ 6–12 month contracts
❌ Video is an extra cost
❌ 2–4 platforms only
❌ Generalist marketers, not rehab specialists
❌ Inconsistent or no monthly reporting
❌ Setup fees ($500–$2,000)

What Rehabinate delivers:

✅ We measure calls, website visits, and brand awareness
✅ Daily posting. Every single day. No exceptions.
✅ Daily Google Business Profile posts included
✅ Transparent pricing on our website
✅ No contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.
✅ Video included in every package
✅ All 6 platforms: GBP, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest
✅ 20+ years of rehab marketing experience
✅ Monthly performance reports with real metrics
✅ No setup fees. No hidden costs.

That’s the difference between vanity and results.

That’s why Rehabinate is different.

The Bottom Line

Choosing a rehab marketing agency doesn’t have to be complicated.

Use this checklist. Ask the right questions. Watch for the red flags.

And remember: The right partner will be transparent about their pricing, confident in their results, and focused on what actually matters—calls, visits, and admissions.

This is the twenty-second post in our series on drug rehab marketing. We’re building a library of content to help addiction treatment centers get found by the people who need them most.

A side-by-side comparison infographic contrasting the failure of duplicate content across multiple locations with a tailored local SEO strategy.

The Truth About Marketing Rehabs with Multiple Locations

, , , ,

If you run a rehab with multiple locations, you already know the challenge.

Marketing one facility is hard enough. Marketing two, three, or more locations? That’s a whole different beast.

Each location has its own service area. Each location has its own competitors. Each location needs its own visibility.

But here’s the truth: Most marketing agencies treat multiple locations the same as one location.

They post the same content to each profile. They target the same keywords. They ignore the local differences that actually matter.

That’s a mistake. And it’s costing you calls.

Let’s talk about how to do multi-location rehab marketing the right way.

Why Multiple Locations Are Different

When you have multiple locations, each one is its own business.

Each location has:

  • Its own service area

  • Its own local competitors

  • Its own search terms

  • Its own local audience

What works in one city won’t necessarily work in another.

Families in Los Angeles search differently than families in San Diego. The competition is different. The local landscape is different.

If you treat all your locations the same, you’re going to miss opportunities in each market.

The Multi-Location Mistake

Most agencies make this mistake:

They take one piece of content and distribute it to every location profile.

Same post. Same keywords. Same hashtags. Same everything.

Here’s why that doesn’t work:

Google looks at location when it ranks content. If you’re posting the same content to multiple locations, Google sees it as duplicate content. It doesn’t know which location to rank.

Result: None of your locations rank well.

That’s why each location needs its own content, its own keywords, and its own strategy.

How We Handle Multiple Locations

We treat each location as its own business.

Here’s what that looks like:

Each location gets:

  • 3 custom posts daily (1 GBP + 1 Video Ad + 1 Image Ad)

  • 252 placements per month across 6 platforms

  • Its own content tailored to its service area

  • Its own keywords based on local search terms

  • Its own performance report

We don’t copy-paste. Every location gets fresh content built around its specific market.

Example:

  • Los Angeles Location: Content about “rehab near me” in LA, local landmarks, regional resources

  • San Diego Location: Content about “rehab near me” in San Diego, local landmarks, regional resources

Same strategy. Different execution.

This is exactly what our system delivers for multi-location rehabs.

The Multi-Location Pricing Difference

Most agencies charge more for each additional location. They piecemeal you to death.

We do it differently.

Dominance ($5,000/month):

  • 2 locations

  • 3 custom posts daily PER LOCATION

  • 252 placements per month PER LOCATION

  • 6 platforms for both locations

  • Monthly performance report for both locations

  • Profile setup included

  • No setup fees

  • Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

Velocity ($7,000/month):

  • 3 locations

  • 3 custom posts daily PER LOCATION

  • 252 placements per month PER LOCATION

  • 6 platforms for all locations

  • Monthly performance report for all locations

  • Profile setup included

  • No setup fees

  • Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

Additional locations: +$2,000 per location

That’s it. No surprises. No hidden fees.

Check out our transparent pricing for yourself.

The Multi-Location Advantage

Here’s something most people don’t realize:

Multiple locations can be a competitive advantage.

When you dominate local search in multiple markets, you build authority across regions. You become the go-to provider in multiple areas. And when families search for help, they see your name in multiple places.

That builds trust. That drives calls. That grows admissions.

The Bottom Line

Marketing multiple rehab locations isn’t just “more of the same.”

Each location is its own business. Each location needs its own content. Each location needs its own strategy.

When you do it right, you dominate multiple markets. When you do it wrong, you waste time and money.

We do it right.

A marketing flywheel infographic illustrating the realistic timeline from Month 1 setup to Month 6+ dominance for rehab marketing results.

How Long Does It Take to See Results from Rehab Marketing?

, , ,

One of the most common questions we hear is:

“How long will it take to see results?”

It’s a fair question. You’re investing money. You want to see a return. You want to start getting calls.

Here’s the honest answer: It depends on what you mean by “results.”

If you mean immediate calls on day one—that’s probably not realistic. If you mean consistent visibility that builds into a steady stream of calls over time—that’s exactly what we deliver.

Let’s break down a realistic timeline.

Month 1: Building Momentum

Here’s how the first month actually breaks down:

Week 1: Setup & Onboarding

  • One 1-hour kickoff call

  • You complete the onboarding form

  • We gather everything about your program, services, and goals

  • We start building your strategy

  • No posting yet. We’re building the foundation.

Week 2: Setup & Scheduling

  • We optimize or create all your social media and Google Business Profile accounts

  • We build keyword and hashtag research

  • We design your custom Image Ad and Video Ad templates

  • We create your first batch of posts and schedule them

  • No posting yet. We’re preparing for launch.

Week 3: Launch Week

  • Daily posting begins

  • 3 custom posts created daily

  • Distributed across all 6 platforms

  • Week 3 results: 21 pieces created. 63 placements distributed.

Week 4: Post-Launch Momentum

  • Daily posting continues

  • 3 custom posts created daily

  • Distributed across all 6 platforms

  • Week 4 results: 27 pieces created. 81 placements distributed.

End of Month 1: What you have

  • 48 pieces of content created

  • 144 placements distributed across 6 platforms

  • Consistent daily visibility starting in Week 3

  • Impressions building

  • Some calls starting to come in

Month 1 is about building the foundation and launching the engine. The momentum is just starting.

Month 2: Gaining Traction

By the end of month 2, you have:

  • 90+ pieces of content created in month 2

  • 138+ total pieces created (48 from month 1 + 90 from month 2)

  • Growing library of searchable content

  • Google seeing you as active and relevant

  • Algorithms starting to favor your content

  • Increasing visibility

What you can expect:

  • More consistent calls

  • Growing website visits

  • Expanding reach and impressions

Month 2 is about traction. The engine is building power and reach.

Month 3: Consistent Results

By the end of month 3, you have:

  • 90+ pieces of content created in month 3

  • 228+ total pieces created (48 + 90 + 90)

  • A growing library of searchable content

  • Established visibility across platforms

  • Algorithms recognizing you as a consistent source

  • Your competitors struggling to keep up

What you can expect:

  • Consistent calls

  • Steady website visits

  • Growing brand awareness

  • Families starting to remember your name

Month 3 is about consistency. The engine is running at full capacity.

Month 6+: Dominance

By month 6, you have:

  • 500+ pieces of content created total

  • A massive library of searchable content

  • Established authority across all platforms

  • Your competitors unable to compete with your volume

  • Consistent, predictable results

What you can expect:

  • Consistent stream of calls

  • Growing admissions

  • Families choosing you because they remember you

  • A system that works without you thinking about it

Month 6+ is about dominance. Your competitors can’t out-spend your consistency.

The Reality of Marketing Results

Here’s what most people don’t understand about marketing results:

Marketing is not a light switch. It’s a flywheel.

When you flip a light switch, the light comes on immediately.

When you spin a flywheel, it starts slow. It builds momentum. And once it’s spinning, it keeps going with less effort.

Marketing is the same way.

  • Month 1: Building the foundation and launching. Momentum is just starting.

  • Month 2: Gaining speed. More consistent results.

  • Month 3: Full momentum. Consistent results.

  • Month 6+: Dominance. Predictable, steady results.

That’s why consistency matters. That’s why daily posting matters. That’s why we don’t promise overnight miracles—we deliver long-term results.

The Competitor Advantage

Here’s something else to consider:

While you’re waiting for results to build, your competitors are already visible.

They’re getting calls while you’re waiting.

Every day you wait to start is a day your competitors are winning.

The sooner you start, the sooner you build momentum. And the sooner you overtake your competitors.

The Bottom Line

How long does rehab marketing take to generate results?

  • Calls: Usually start coming in within the first month (once posting begins)

  • Consistent calls: Usually by month 3

  • Dominance: Usually by month 6 and beyond

But here’s the key: The longer you wait to start, the longer it takes to see results.

The best time to start was 6 months ago. The second best time is now.

This is the eighteenth post in our series on drug rehab marketing. We’re building a library of content to help addiction treatment centers get found by the people who need them most.

A cost and value comparison infographic contrasting an expensive, single in-house marketer with an affordable, full-team agency service for rehab marketing.

Why Most Rehabs Don’t Need a Full-Time Marketing Hire

, , , ,

If you’re like most rehab directors, you’ve probably thought about hiring a full-time marketing person.

It makes sense. You need marketing. You want someone dedicated to getting your rehab found. You want consistency.

But here’s the thing: Most rehabs don’t need a full-time marketing hire.

In fact, hiring one might be the most expensive mistake you make.

Let’s break down why.

The Real Cost of an In-House Marketer

Before you hire anyone, let’s look at what it actually costs.

The average in-house marketing hire costs:

  • $4,500–$6,500/month in salary

  • Plus benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.)

  • Plus payroll taxes

  • Plus equipment and software

  • Plus management and training

Total cost: $5,500–$8,000+/month

For that, you get one person. One person who:

  • Has a limited skill set (not an expert in everything)

  • Has limited capacity (can’t produce 252 posts per month)

  • Has limited platform knowledge (specializes in one or two)

  • Takes vacations and sick days

  • Can leave at any time

That’s a lot of money for a lot of risk.

What You Actually Get for That Money

Here’s what a typical in-house marketer can actually deliver:

  • 20–40 posts per month

  • 1–2 platforms they’re really good at

  • Maybe some video (if they know how)

  • Maybe some GBP posts (if they remember)

  • Monthly reporting that you have to ask for

That’s it. One person. One skill set. Limited capacity.

And you’re paying $5,500–$8,000/month for it.

What Rehabinate Delivers for Less

Now compare that to Rehabinate:

For $3,000/month for one location, you get:

  • A full team of experts

  • 252 posts per month across 6 platforms

  • Video, images, and captions all included

  • Google Business Profile posts daily

  • Monthly performance reports

  • No hiring, no training, no management

  • No benefits, no equipment, no software costs

  • Month-to-month. No contract.

The math is simple. In-house marketing costs more and delivers less.

The Skill Gap Problem

Here’s another thing most rehab directors don’t consider:

One person can’t be an expert at everything.

Marketing today requires multiple skill sets:

  • Content creation

  • Video production

  • Graphic design

  • Copywriting

  • SEO knowledge

  • Platform expertise (GBP, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest)

  • Analytics and reporting

That’s 7+ skill sets. One person might be good at 2 or 3. The rest will be mediocre.

When you hire Rehabinate, you get a team of specialists. Each person focuses on what they do best. The result is better content, better strategy, and better results.

Learn more about what our system delivers.

The Consistency Problem

In-house marketers take vacations. They get sick. They have personal emergencies. They leave for better jobs.

Every time that happens, your marketing stops. Consistency breaks. And it takes weeks—sometimes months—to get back on track.

With Rehabinate, you get consistency.

  • We post every single day. No exceptions.

  • We don’t take vacations from your marketing.

  • We don’t get sick and stop working.

  • We don’t leave for a better job.

That’s the power of a done-for-you system.

The Cost Per Post Comparison

Here’s how the numbers actually stack up:

In-House Marketer ($5,500–$8,000+/month):

  • 20–40 posts per month

  • 1–2 platforms

  • $175–$400 per post

  • Limited skill set

  • Inconsistent results

Rehabinate ($3,000/month for one location):

  • 252 posts per month

  • 6 platforms

  • Just $12 per post

  • Full team of specialists

  • Consistent, daily results

Our cost per post is 10 to 17 times lower than hiring in-house.

That’s not slightly better. That’s dramatically better.

Check out our transparent pricing for yourself.

The Bottom Line

Most rehabs don’t need a full-time marketing hire.

What you need is a system. A strategic, daily rotation of content that gets your rehab found by families searching for help.

That’s exactly what we deliver.

For less than the cost of one employee, you get a full team of experts, 252 posts per month across 6 platforms, and consistent daily visibility.

No hiring. No training. No management. No headaches.

This is the seventeenth post in our series on drug rehab marketing. We’re building a library of content to help addiction treatment centers get found by the people who need them most.

A comparison graphic contrasting vanity metrics like likes and followers with high-intent search visibility and phone calls in rehab marketing.

The Problem with “Posting for Likes” in Rehab Marketing

, , ,

Most marketing agencies will tell you to post for engagement.

“Get more likes.”
“Build your followers.”
“Encourage comments and shares.”

It sounds reasonable. After all, that’s what social media is for, right?

Here’s the problem: Families in crisis don’t “like” rehabs.

They don’t scroll through Instagram thinking, “I should like this treatment center in case I need them someday.”

They search for help. They type “rehab near me” into Google. They want a phone number. They want help now.

Posting for likes is a waste of time and money when you’re marketing a rehab.

Let’s break down why.

The Vanity Metrics Trap

Most agencies brag about metrics that don’t drive admissions:

❌ Likes:
Likes don’t pay the bills. A family in crisis doesn’t “like” a rehab. They call.

❌ Followers:
Followers don’t call. People searching for help call. Big difference.

❌ Comments:
Comments are nice. But they don’t drive admissions.

❌ Shares:
Shares increase reach. But reach doesn’t always convert.

❌ Impressions:
Impressions matter—but only if they lead to calls.

These metrics are vanity. They make the agency look good. But they don’t tell you if your marketing is actually working.

We measure what actually matters: calls, website visits, and brand awareness.

You can see our real client results for yourself.

Why “Likes” Don’t Matter for Rehabs

Here’s the reality of how families actually find help:

Step 1: A family member is worried about a loved one. They search “rehab near me” or “signs of addiction.”

Step 2: Google shows them a list of treatment centers, social media posts, and videos.

Step 3: They click on the content that answers their questions. They read. They learn. They start to trust.

Step 4: When they’re ready, they call. They don’t “like” anything. They call.

Likes don’t drive admissions. Visibility does.

What Actually Matters

Here’s what you should be focusing on instead of likes:

✅ Search Visibility:
Are you showing up when people search for “rehab near me”? That’s what actually drives calls.

✅ Phone Calls:
This is the most important metric. When a family calls, they’re ready for help. Every call is a potential admission.

✅ Website Visits:
Not all visitors call immediately. But every visit is a person researching their options. They’re learning about your program. They’re building trust.

✅ Brand Awareness:
Not every impression becomes a call today. But every impression builds trust for tomorrow. When families are ready, they remember your name.

✅ Direction Requests:
Someone is searching for your location. They’re ready to show up. That’s a high-intent action.

The Search Discovery Difference

Posting for likes is about getting attention. Posting for searches is about getting found.

Posting for likes:

  • Generic content

  • What you think is interesting

  • Hoping people engage

  • Vanity metrics

Posting for searches:

  • Content that answers questions

  • What families are actually searching for

  • Google indexes your content

  • Calls and admissions

That’s exactly what our ad rotation system does every single day.

The Real Results

This isn’t theory. Here’s what happens when you stop posting for likes and start posting for searches:

In just 7 days, a real client saw:

  • 25 phone calls

  • 78 website visits

  • 25,000+ impressions

No ad spend. No click costs. Just daily, search-driven content.

Those calls came from families who searched for help and found them. Not from people who “liked” their posts.

You can see the full client results for yourself.

The Bottom Line

Posting for likes is a waste of time and money when you’re marketing a rehab.

Families in crisis don’t “like” rehabs. They search for help. They call when they’re ready.

If you’re measuring likes, you’re measuring the wrong thing.

Stop posting for likes. Start posting for searches.

That’s the difference between vanity and results.

A professional comparison guide illustrating the 5 key questions rehab directors should ask when choosing a marketing partner.

How to Choose the Right Rehab Marketing Partner (5 Questions to Ask)

, , , ,

Choosing a marketing partner for your rehab is a big decision.

You’re trusting them with your budget, your brand, and ultimately, your ability to reach families who need help.

But here’s the problem: Most marketing agencies look the same on the surface.

They all promise results. They all say they understand rehab marketing. They all show you impressive-looking reports.

So how do you tell the difference between a partner who will actually deliver results and one who will waste your time and money?

Ask these 5 questions.

Question 1: “What Do You Actually Measure?”

This is the most important question you can ask.

If they say:

  • “Likes”

  • “Followers”

  • “Comments”

  • “Shares”

  • “Engagement”

Run.

Those are vanity metrics. They look good on a report but they don’t drive admissions. Families in crisis don’t “like” rehabs. They search for help. They call.

What they should say:

  • “Phone calls”

  • “Website visits”

  • “Brand awareness”

  • “Search discovery”

  • “Impressions that lead to action”

We measure what actually matters. You can see our real client results for yourself.

Question 2: “How Many Posts Do You Deliver Per Month?”

This is a simple question with a revealing answer.

If they say:

  • “We focus on quality over quantity”

  • “It depends on the month”

  • “We post when we have content”

  • “We don’t track that”

They’re hiding something.

Post volume matters. Consistency matters. If they can’t tell you exactly how many posts you’re getting, they’re not posting enough.

What they should say:

  • A specific number

  • A breakdown by platform

  • A commitment to daily posting

We deliver 252 posts per month across 6 platforms. That’s 63 per week. 9 per day. Every single day.

Learn more about what our system delivers.

Question 3: “Do You Post to Google Business Profile?”

This is a surprisingly revealing question.

If they say:

  • “No, we focus on social media”

  • “We can do that for an extra fee”

  • “Sometimes”

They’re missing the most important platform.

Google Business Profile is your live search engine. It drives local calls, direction requests, and website visits. If they’re not posting to it daily, they’re not doing rehab marketing right.

What they should say:

  • “Yes, we post daily”

  • “It’s included in our service”

  • “We prioritize GBP because it drives calls”

We post to Google Business Profile every single day. It’s included in our service. No extra fees. No exceptions.

Question 4: “Do You Have a Contract?”

This question tells you everything about their confidence.

If they say:

  • “Yes, we require a 6-12 month commitment”

  • “It’s standard in the industry”

  • “We need it to protect our investment”

They’re not confident in their results.

Agencies use contracts to protect themselves—not you. If they were confident you’d see results, they wouldn’t need to lock you in.

What they should say:

  • “No, we’re month-to-month”

  • “You can cancel anytime”

  • “We earn your business every month”

We don’t do contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. Because we’re confident you’ll stay because it’s working—not because you’re trapped.

Question 5: “What’s Included in Your Price?”

This is where hidden fees hide.

If they say:

  • “We can discuss that after you sign”

  • “Video is extra”

  • “Google Posts are extra”

  • “That’s for a different tier”

They’re going to nickel and dime you.

By the time you add it all up, that $5,000/month agency is actually costing you $8,000–$12,000/month.

What they should say:

  • “Everything is included”

  • “One flat price”

  • “No hidden fees”

  • “No setup fees”

We include everything. Video. Google Posts. All 6 platforms. Monthly reporting. No setup fees. No hidden costs. One flat price.

The Red Flags Summary

Here’s a quick checklist of red flags to watch for:

❌ “We measure likes” — They don’t understand rehab marketing

❌ “We focus on quality over quantity” — They don’t post enough

❌ “We don’t post to GBP” — They’re missing the most important platform

❌ “We require a contract” — They’re not confident in their results

❌ “Video is extra” — They’re going to nickel and dime you

❌ “We need a consultation to quote” — They want to size up your budget

The Green Flags Summary

Here’s what to look for in a marketing partner:

✅ “We measure calls” — They understand what actually matters

✅ “We deliver 250+ posts per month” — They know consistency is key

✅ “We post to GBP daily” — They understand local search

✅ “No contracts, month-to-month” — They’re confident in their results

✅ “Everything included” — They’re transparent about pricing

The Bottom Line

Choosing a rehab marketing partner doesn’t have to be complicated.

Ask the right questions. Watch for the red flags. Look for the green flags.

And remember: The right partner will be transparent about their pricing, confident in their results, and focused on what actually matters—calls, visits, and admissions.

A person searching online for addiction treatment help at night, illustrating how rehab centers can fix their online visibility and search ranking.

Why Most Rehabs Stay Invisible Online (And How to Fix It)

, ,

You’re saving lives. You have a great facility. You have compassionate staff. You have outcomes that actually matter.

But families can’t find you.

They’re searching for help. They’re typing “rehab near me” into Google. They’re scrolling social media looking for answers. And somehow, your name never comes up.

You’re invisible.

Here’s the hard truth: Most rehabs stay invisible online—not because they don’t try, but because they’re using the wrong playbook.

Let’s talk about why it happens and how to fix it.

Why Most Rehabs Never Show Up

There are three main reasons rehabs stay invisible online:

1. They’re posting for likes, not searches.

Families in crisis don’t “like” rehabs. They search for help. If you’re posting generic content that doesn’t match what families are searching for, Google won’t show you to them.

2. They’re not posting daily.

Google rewards consistency. A facility that posts daily signals to Google that they’re active and relevant. A facility that posts once a month signals the opposite. If you’re not posting daily, you’re falling behind.

3. They’re only on one or two platforms.

Families search for help everywhere—Google, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest. If you’re only on one or two platforms, you’re missing most of your audience. And Google indexes social media posts, so every platform is another opportunity to be found.

The “I Tried Posting and Nothing Happened” Trap

We hear this all the time:

“We tried social media. We posted for a few months. Nothing happened. So we quit.”

Here’s the thing: You weren’t wrong to quit. You were just using the wrong playbook.

Most rehabs post generic content:

  • Photos of their facility

  • Generic quotes about recovery

  • Staff photos

  • Holiday greetings

But families in crisis aren’t looking for any of that. They’re looking for answers:

  • “How much does rehab cost?”

  • “Does my insurance cover detox?”

  • “What are the signs of alcohol addiction?”

  • “How do I get my son into treatment?”

When you post for searches, not likes, everything changes.

The Search Discovery Difference

Here’s what most people don’t understand about modern marketing:

Google indexes social media posts.

That means when someone searches for “detox near me” or “alcohol rehab programs,” Google doesn’t just show websites. It shows Instagram posts. Facebook posts. TikTok videos. YouTube videos.

Your competitor’s social media post can outrank your own website if they’re doing it right.

Search discovery is the art of creating content that matches what people are searching for—and distributing it across platforms where it can be found.

That’s exactly what our ad rotation system does every single day.

The Daily Posting Difference

Here’s what happens when you post daily:

Week 1: You start showing up. Impressions grow. A few people call.

Week 2: More impressions. More visibility. More trust building.

Week 3: Momentum builds. The algorithm starts favoring your content. Calls increase.

Month 2: You have 90+ pieces of content working for you. Google sees you as active and relevant. YouTube sees you as an authority. Facebook sees you as consistent.

Month 3: You have 270+ pieces of content. Your competitors can’t keep up. You start outranking them in search results.

Month 6: You have 500+ pieces of content. You’re everywhere families search. Calls are consistent. Admissions are growing.

That’s the power of consistency.

The Platform Coverage Difference

Here’s why you need to be everywhere:

  • Google Business Profile: Your live search engine. Drives local calls and direction requests.

  • YouTube: Second largest search engine. Videos are permanent assets.

  • TikTok: Reaches people searching for answers. High engagement.

  • Instagram: Visual-first. Indexed by Google. Builds brand awareness.

  • Facebook: Wide demographic reach. Family members search here too.

  • Pinterest: Builds backlinks for SEO. Long-lasting content.

Every platform you’re not on is a platform your competitors are winning.

Learn more about why each platform matters.

The Real Results

This isn’t theory. Here’s what happens when you fix your online visibility:

In just 7 days, a real client saw:

  • 25 phone calls

  • 78 website visits

  • 25,000+ impressions

No ad spend. No click costs. Just daily, search-driven content across all 6 platforms.

You can see the full client results for yourself.

The Bottom Line

Most rehabs stay invisible online because they’re using the wrong playbook.

They post for likes instead of searches. They post sporadically instead of daily. They focus on one or two platforms instead of being everywhere.

It’s not your fault. Nobody told you the rules changed.

But now you know.

Google indexes social media. Daily posting drives results. Being everywhere matters.

And there’s a simple way to do it all without burning out your team.
