Everything You
Need to Know.
Answers to the most common questions about behavioral health digital marketing — pricing, timelines, compliance, and what working with Sweet Media actually looks like.
Ask a different questionWe work exclusively with behavioral health treatment centers — residential programs, detox, PHP, IOP, sober living, and mental health clinics. Every strategy, every keyword, and every campaign is built around the specific compliance requirements, patient journey, and competitive dynamics of the behavioral health market. We don't apply a generic playbook to your facility.
Paid media (Google Ads, Meta) typically generates leads within the first 1–2 weeks of launch. SEO shows meaningful ranking movement within 60–90 days for local search and 90–120 days for competitive organic keywords. Most clients see measurable census improvement within the first 90 days across combined channels.
No. We operate on month-to-month agreements. We believe our results should be the reason you stay — not a contract. That said, most clients stay with us for years because the strategies compound over time and switching costs are high once a system is working.
Investment varies widely — from single-location outpatient programs to multi-location networks in competitive markets. Management fees are separate from ad spend. We discuss scope and ranges openly on a strategy call; pricing depends on markets, levels of care, and site maturity.
Yes. LegitScript certification is required to run addiction treatment ads on Google. If your facility isn't yet certified, we guide you through the application and help prepare the required documentation. If you're already certified, we ensure all campaigns stay compliant with Google's Healthcare & Medicines policies.
Absolutely — in fact, starting from scratch is often an advantage. We build the right foundation from day one: proper tracking, compliant campaigns, and an SEO strategy that compounds. Many of our best-performing clients came to us with zero digital presence and are now ranking in the top 3 for their primary markets.
We offer SEO (organic, local, and AI/GEO), Google Ads, Meta Ads, connected TV advertising, website design and development, conversion rate optimization, and social media management — all exclusively for behavioral health organizations. Every service is designed to drive one outcome: more admissions at a lower cost.
We measure success in census growth and cost-per-admission, not vanity metrics. Every client gets a live reporting dashboard tracking leads, cost-per-lead, and estimated admissions by channel. We hold monthly strategy calls to review real business outcomes and adjust accordingly.
