What's broken in Treatment Centers marketing today
- •ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode answer treatment questions without ever surfacing your site
- •Your facility ranks below directory aggregators (Rehabs.com, Psychology Today) you don't control
- •Your content doesn't meet Google's strictest YMYL standards for behavioral health
- •Google Ads CPL climbs every quarter; insurance landing pages keep getting rejected
- •LegitScript advertising restrictions limit what you can say while competitors run loose copy that gets disapproved later

Frequently asked questions
How is Altitude different from generic SEO platforms for treatment centers?
Generic SEO platforms don't understand YMYL, LegitScript, or HIPAA. They suggest tactics that get treatment center ads disapproved or pages devalued in Google's quality-rater system. Altitude is built around behavioral health's constraints from day one. Every audit recommendation, every content suggestion, every paid media optimization respects them.
Do you track AI search citations like Perplexity and ChatGPT?
Yes. That's a core capability. We monitor citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode for the specific queries your families ask. Weekly trend data shows which engines are citing you, which aren't, and what content changes would move the needle on each.
How does Altitude handle LegitScript and HIPAA constraints?
Content recommendations flag any phrasing that could violate LegitScript advertising policies before it ships. We never touch any data that would fall under HIPAA. Your patient information stays on your systems. Altitude only works with publicly available data, your analytics, and your CMS content.
How fast can a new treatment center see results?
Technical SEO wins (meta tags, schema, page speed) appear in 2-4 weeks. Content-driven ranking improvements typically materialize in 60-90 days. Paid media optimization is faster, usually within 14 days. AI citation tracking starts showing trend data within a week of go-live; meaningful citation rate increases generally take 3-4 months of consistent GEO work.
Can you handle multi-location treatment networks?
Yes. Multi-location pricing is built into our tiers, and the platform supports per-location GBP management, per-location audit history, and per-location AI citation tracking. Larger chains (5+ locations) typically land on our Enterprise tier with a dedicated strategist and custom scoping during onboarding.
What types of treatment programs do you work with?
Addiction treatment (detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, MAT, sober living, recovery housing), mental health residential and outpatient, dual diagnosis, eating disorder treatment, adolescent treatment programs, trauma and PTSD specialty programs.
