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.
