THE CHALLENGE

Client’s Challenge

Detox of South Florida is a rehabilitation center in Broward County, Florida. Addiction treatment is one of the hardest SEO niches: YMYL (Your Money or Your Life), fierce competition from national chains with $50M+ marketing budgets, and strict Google E-A-T requirements.

The stakes are the highest possible: a person in crisis searching for help — every missed click could cost a human life. Our mission: make the center visible exactly when someone needs help most.

  • Zero E-A-T signals — no medical authors, credentials, or citations
  • Competing against national chains with $50M+ marketing budgets
  • Google Ads Healthcare restrictions (LegitScript certification required)
  • 0% of leads tracked to source — zero attribution
  • Generic content with no specific addiction type pages
  • Broward County alone has 50+ competing facilities
