Numbers above describe how we work, not a promise about your results — admissions volume depends on your beds, your levels of care, your market, and your accreditation status.
Why Beds Sit Empty
The people who need you are calling somebody today.
Clinical excellence doesn't answer the phone at 2am. Here's what typically gets in the way, and how we close it without cutting corners.
-
LegitScript certification has to be earned, and re-earned
Google won't run a single addiction-treatment ad without it, and it isn't a one-time form.
-
Someone who decides to call today may not call tomorrow
A person hitting bottom, or a spouse who finally found the number, is often acting on a narrow window of resolve.
-
Interventionists, EAPs, and drug courts refer to centers they trust
A lot of admissions start with a referral, not a Google search.
-
42 CFR Part 2 makes ordinary tracking illegal here
Federal confidentiality rules for substance-use records go further than HIPAA — you can't even confirm someone is a patient without written consent.

Named by the AI assistants families ask first
AI-search optimization (AIO) so ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews name your center when someone, or a worried family member, asks where to go.
- “What's a good detox near me that takes my insurance?”
- “Recommend an accredited rehab in [your city].”
- “Where can my brother get help for opioid addiction near me?”
- “Find a sober living home near me with good reviews.”
- “Best inpatient rehab for alcohol in [your city]?”

These are illustrative — the terms we actually target are scoped to your accreditation, your licensed service area, and your levels of care, and every campaign stays inside Google's and LegitScript's advertising rules. Search rankings and AI visibility build gradually and are never guaranteed.

Family program
Proof, not promises
Track every call, every bed, every dollar.
One dashboard connects every campaign and call to a scheduled admission, so you know which channel is actually filling beds and which one is just spending budget.
Admissions Tracking Turn crisis calls into scheduled admissions
Every call, form, and ad click is captured and routed to your admissions team under 42 CFR Part 2–aware handling, so an inquiry that comes in at 3am doesn't sit until Monday.
Every inquiry's real source
See which keyword, campaign, or referral page produced each admissions call, so you can fund what's actually filling beds.
42 CFR Part 2–aware routing
Follow-up respects federal confidentiality rules for SUD records — no acknowledging a patient's status to the wrong person, ever.
ROI Tracking See your true cost per admitted patient
We connect each scheduled admission back to the campaign that started it, so you know your real cost per bed filled, not just cost per click.
Cost per admission, plainly shown
Ad spend, calls, VOBs, and admissions are tied together, so you know exactly what it costs to fill one bed.
Level-of-care ROI
Detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and sober living are tracked separately, so you see which level of care is actually driving inquiries.
Call Analysis Never lose a call to a full voicemail box
A missed call in this category can mean the person calls the next center on the list instead.
Call recording & scoring
Every admissions call gets scored for outcome, so you can see where calls stall and coach your team on what actually works.
Missed-call text-back
An unanswered call triggers a text within seconds, worded to respect confidentiality while still getting the person back on the phone.
Review Generation Turn alumni into the proof a family compares
A family choosing between two centers with the same insurance usually decides on reviews.
Timed, respectful review requests
Requests go out after discharge, not during treatment, and never pressure anyone still working through the program.
Reputation monitoring
New reviews across Google and other platforms are tracked in one place, so you can respond quickly and protect your center's name.

Marketing for addiction treatment centers, without the mystery
Google Ads management runs 10% of your monthly ad budget with a $600/month minimum, flat fee, no markup on the media itself. SEO is $50 per page per month with a 10-page minimum. A new site is a one-time build, typically $1,500 to $20,000+ depending on scope. There's $0 setup, everything is month-to-month, and the first 30 days come with a guarantee — if it's not working, you don't pay for it. Tell us your levels of care and licensed service area and we'll send exact numbers.
If your Google Ads keep getting disapproved, your referral sources can't tell what levels of care you offer, or calls from people in crisis are going to voicemail after hours, yes. We build the LegitScript-certified ads, the site, and the call routing that fix those specific gaps. If your beds are already full and your referral network already trusts you, you may not need one yet.
It gets your center in front of the person searching “rehab near me” at 2am, the family member Googling on their behalf, and the interventionist or EAP counselor deciding where to refer someone — then makes sure that inquiry reaches your admissions team, not a full voicemail box. SearchPod builds the site, runs LegitScript-certified Google Ads, handles local SEO and AI-search visibility, and sets up 42 CFR Part 2–aware follow-up and review generation.
Ask if they've actually taken a center through LegitScript certification, not just heard of it. Ask how they handle 42 CFR Part 2 in their tracking setup, not just ordinary HIPAA. Ask whether you keep your website, ad accounts, and data if you leave. And be wary of anyone who promises a specific number of admissions — no honest agency guarantees outcomes in this category.
First-time LegitScript certification typically takes a few weeks once your accreditation paperwork is in order, and ads can start running shortly after. SEO and AI-search visibility build over 3–6 months. Many centers also see a real jump in inquiries every January, as insurance deductibles reset and New Year's resolutions bring people in — worth having your campaigns live before then, not after.
We run your site, ads, SEO, AI search, follow-up, and reviews as one team, and we actually manage LegitScript certification and 42 CFR Part 2–aware tracking instead of treating your center like a generic local business. You keep your website, ad accounts, and data. Pricing is public, everything is month-to-month, and the first 30 days are covered by our guarantee.
Yes. A center running detox, residential, and IOP under one roof needs different pages and different ad campaigns than a single outpatient location, and a center with two campuses needs local SEO built for both. We scope your plan to your actual levels of care and licensed locations and send a written proposal once we understand your setup.
Yes. A form fill from someone whose insurance you can't verify, or who lives outside your licensed service area, doesn't fill a bed. We track calls and forms through to insurance verification and scheduled admission, not just submission, so you can see what's actually working.
Yes. Google requires LegitScript's addiction-treatment certification, backed by proof of accreditation (Joint Commission, CARF, or your state license), before any rehab ad can run, and it has to be renewed. We manage the application, the documentation, and the annual renewal, and keep your landing pages inside Google's rehab-advertising policy so your campaigns stay live.
42 CFR Part 2 is the federal confidentiality law specific to substance-use treatment records, and it's stricter than ordinary HIPAA — we can't confirm or deny that someone is a patient without their written consent, and that shapes how we set up tracking, follow-up texts, and email. We build every inquiry system to work within that law, not around it.
Completely. The website, the domain, the ad accounts, and every inquiry your marketing produces belong to your center. If we ever stop working together, none of it stays behind with us.
Yes. We've connected admissions forms and call tracking to platforms like KIPU, Sunwave, and Alleva, as well as general-purpose CRMs, so leads land where your admissions coordinators already work, set up in a way that respects 42 CFR Part 2.
Most centers are live in 2–4 weeks, though the real gate is usually accreditation paperwork — we can't submit your LegitScript application, and your ads can't run, until we have your current accreditation or state license documentation in hand. Getting that to us early is the single biggest thing that speeds up launch.
