Addiction treatment marketing, done ethically.
People searching for treatment, for themselves or a family member, are often in crisis. We help licensed providers get found and explain admissions honestly, inside the certification and ad rules that exist to protect patients.

Why this field is harder to market.
Strict rules, for good reasons, and families with every reason to be skeptical.
You need certification to advertise
Google and Meta require LegitScript certification before addiction treatment ads can run in the US.
Searches in a crisis
Families call fast. Clear admissions info and 24/7 contact details matter.
A history of bad actors
Patient brokering and fake “helplines” mean strict rules and wary searchers.
Insurance first
Checking coverage is often the very first step in admissions.
What we do for treatment centers.
Local SEO
Program pages (detox, residential, outpatient, family support) and location pages with clear admissions information.
Google Business Profile
Accurate facility profiles, services, hours and admissions contact.
Reviews & reputation
Review practices that put privacy first and never reveal that someone was a client.
Content
Admissions guides, insurance verification pages and resources for families.
Paid ads
Google and Meta Ads only once LegitScript certification is in place.
One team, one report
One team for SEO, content, ads and reports, measured by admissions calls and forms. No bought leads, ever.
How families find your facility.
Our five steps. Ads wait until certification is approved; SEO and GBP work can start right away.
Audit
We look at your Google Business Profile, website, reviews and competitors, and at how patients find you today.
Tracking, set up carefully
Call tracking numbers, form and booking tracking by source. No patient information goes to analytics or ad platforms.
GBP, site & reviews
We fix gaps in your profile, build service and location pages, and set up review requests after appointments.
Content & campaigns
Condition and treatment pages go live. Google, Meta or TikTok campaigns start where they make sense and policy allows.
Monthly report
A plain report on new-patient inquiries and where they came from. Then we put more into what’s working.
Certification and compliance for addiction treatment
Healthcare marketing has rules, and we follow them from day one. Your practice approves every page, ad and review reply before it goes live.
- HIPAA-conscious tracking: no protected health information in analytics, pixels, or call recordings sent to ad platforms
- No patient data uploaded to Google, Meta or TikTok for targeting or retargeting
- LegitScript certification obtained before any Google or Meta addiction treatment ads run
- No lead buying, call brokering or misleading “helpline” tactics
- Messaging and claims kept within federal and state rules for treatment marketing
This is how we work, not legal advice. Your compliance officer or counsel has the final say on your obligations.
