From 0 Calls to 70+ Calls/Month in 90 Days—Rehab Center Local SEO
Overview:
A drug rehab center in Paducah, Kentucky approached us with a critical problem:
they had zero visibility, zero calls, and no ranking presence on Google for their core keywords such as “drug rehab near me”, “rehab center Paducah”, and related transactional terms.
Their Google Business Profile was inactive, unoptimized, and invisible across all major local search surfaces.
They partnered with GrowMinion to revive their online presence and start generating consistent local leads.
The Challenge
Before working with us:
Avg. Keyword Position: 20+ (completely out of the local 3-pack)
No calls or interactions from Google Business Profile
No map coverage — rankings were blank across all grid points
Low trust signals (weak content, poor categories, missing local relevance)
Competitors were dominating the 1–5 ranking zone across the city
In short:
👉 They were invisible.
👉 They weren’t discoverable.
👉 They weren’t getting any calls.
Our Approach — 90-Day SOP Execution
We implemented our proven GrowMinion Local SEO System, the same SOPs used for law firms, med spas, and multi-location service brands.

This is the same 30–50 task cycle we run monthly for all GBP clients.
