Why is Local SEO for Rehab Center So Important?

Let’s face it, COVID changed a lot in the addiction space. Not only from how substance abuse centers manage their patients, but how patients looks for care. Now, more than ever, potential patients are looking to stay local to get help with their addiction. Although most inpatient centers should market nationally, local rehab centers, especially outpatient, MAT, Suboxone Clinics, and Methadone clinics should invest heavily in their local rankings.

What is Local SEO for Rehab Centers?

Ranking locally for your facility provides you with leverage above the large lead generation, and directory sites. In order to rank in the map (see above) you must have a physical location. The national brands don’t have locations all over the country, thus, you can out rank the huge firms for local patients.

Local SEO differs from national drug rehab SEO by focused ONLY on local (within 50 miles) searches. Our process is complex but very effective.

  1. Audit your current Google My Business listing and website

  2. Update on-page and off-page factors which contribute to local rankings

  3. Build monthly blogs to increase content

  4. Get local citations to show Google you an authority in local drug and alcohol rehab

  5. Backlink to the website to show authority on the topic of addiction treatment

The Results

Results for local SEO for rehab centers can vary based on location. For example, if you are in California, it may take up to 4-5 months to rank in the top 3.
