The math

Judge the fee against what an admission is worth

You know your numbers better than we do. Plug them in: if one additional admission from organic search is worth more than the monthly fee, the program pays for itself with a single admission a month.

Worked example

Your average revenue per admission[$ your figure] Extra organic admissions per month[your target] Monthly SEO fee (Residential & Detox)$3,500

Break-even = one admission worth more than $3,500.

Most residential programs clear that with a single admission. Outpatient programs usually need a few.

What changes the price

Four things set your plan

  • Locations. Each needs its own profile, pages and tracking.
  • Levels of care. Each program needs its own page and content.
  • Market competition. A dense metro takes more authority work than a smaller city.
  • Your site's starting point. A site with technical debt needs more work in months one and two.

Market context

What other specialists charge

Published rates from specialist rehab SEO agencies we reviewed range from about $1,500 a month for small outpatient programs to $9,000+ for larger or multi-location operations. Very cheap SEO in this industry usually means generic content, bought links or offshore templates — each of which carries real risk for a health brand.

FAQ

Rehab SEO cost: FAQ

How much does rehab SEO cost per month?

Our plans are $1,800, $3,500 and $5,500+ a month depending on locations and levels of care. The market range for specialist agencies runs from about $1,500 to $9,000+.

Is there a setup fee?

The $750 assessment is the only upfront cost, and it's credited to your first month if you continue.

Why don't you charge per admission?

Paying marketers per patient referral creates legal risk under EKRA and bad incentives. A flat fee keeps both of us focused on quality.

What's the minimum commitment?

Ninety days — the time it takes for the foundation work to show. After that, month to month.

Do you also run Google Ads?

We focus on SEO and AI search. If you run ads, we'll coordinate with your ads partner so landing pages and tracking work for both.
