Why “We Already Have a Marketing Person” Isn’t a Reason to Ignore Search Discovery
We hear it all the time:
“We already have a marketing person.”
“We have someone who handles our social media.”
“We have an internal team.”
Great. Keep them.
But here’s the thing: Having a marketing person doesn’t mean you’re covered. It doesn’t mean you’re showing up in search. It doesn’t mean you’re getting found every single day.
Most in-house marketing people are stretched thin. They’re managing your brand, your website, your events, your communications, your social media—and they’re doing it all alone.
Search discovery is a full-time job. It’s not something you can squeeze in between other tasks.
Here’s why search discovery matters—and how it works alongside your existing team.
What Your Marketing Person Is Already Doing
Let’s be honest about what your marketing person handles:
-
Website updates
-
Brand management
-
Event coordination
-
Community relations
-
Social media (maybe)
-
Internal communications
-
Crisis communications
-
Donor or board communications
-
And everything else that comes up
They’re busy. They’re valuable. They’re necessary.
But they can’t do everything.
What Search Discovery Requires
Search discovery isn’t just “posting on social media.”
It requires:
1. Daily Posting
Every single day. No exceptions. 3 posts per day. 63 per week. 252 per month.
2. Multiple Platforms
Google Business Profile, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest. All 6. Every day.
3. Search-Driven Content
Every post built around what families are actually searching for. Not what sounds good. What they type into search bars.
4. Consistent Rotation
Fresh content. Different angles. Every single day. No repeats.
5. Constant Monitoring
What’s working? What’s not? What search terms are driving traffic? What platforms are performing?
That’s a full-time job. Your marketing person already has one.
Why “We Have Someone” Isn’t Enough
Here’s the reality:
Your marketing person is talented. But they’re not a search discovery specialist.
They might know social media. They might know your brand. They might know your community.
But do they know how to get you found in search? Do they know how to post daily across all 6 platforms? Do they know how to build a content library that compounds over time?
Probably not. And that’s not their fault. It’s just not their job.
The Better Question
Instead of asking “Do we have a marketing person?” ask:
“Are we showing up in search every single day?”
If the answer is no, you’re missing opportunities.
“Are we posting daily across all 6 platforms?”
If the answer is no, you’re falling behind competitors.
“Are we building a content library that works for us over time?”
If the answer is no, you’re starting from zero every month.
Those are the questions that matter.

The “Both/And” Approach
Here’s what we tell rehab directors:
“Keep your marketing person. They’re valuable. They’re doing important work. We’ll handle the search discovery side.”
Here’s what that looks like:
-
Your marketing person focuses on brand, community, and strategy
-
We focus on daily posting, search discovery, and content creation
-
You get the best of both worlds
You don’t have to choose. You can have both.

The Bottom Line
Having a marketing person is great.
But it doesn’t mean you’re covered.

Your marketing person can’t do it all. And they shouldn’t have to.
Let us handle search discovery. You focus on everything else.
