SEO is about ranking keywords in Google & Bing for keywords associated with your services, ensuring local people searching for drug & alcohol rehab, gambling addiction treatments and your other services near your clinic.

WHY IS SEO FOR REHAB CENTRES SO IMPORTANT?
The truth of it is, and let’s face it, COVID changed a lot in the addiction space. Not only from how substance abuse centres manage their patients, but how a patient looks for the prefect care facility.
Now, more than ever, potential patients are looking to stay in their local area and to get help with their addiction. Although most inpatient centres should market nationally, local rehab centres, especially those that offer both in and outpatient services, as well as other face to face services should invest heavily in their local marketing to ensure they are getting found online.
WHAT IS LOCAL SEO FOR REHAB CENTRES?
Ranking locally for your rehab facility provides you with leverage above the larger lead generation and directory sites. In order to rank in the map, you must have a physical location. The national brands don’t have locations all over the country, therefore you can out rank the huge firms for local patients, as well as having your services ranking organically in the search results…..monopolising the results.
Local SEO differs from national drug rehab SEO by focusing ONLY on local (within 30 km) searches.
