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.

Key Actions

1. Deep GBP Optimization

  • Corrected all categories

  • Optimized business name, services, and attributes

  • Rebuilt the profile with entity-based content

  • Added high-quality branded photos & videos

  • Set up weekly Google Posts

2. Local SEO Content & Keyword Mapping

  • Built keyword clusters around
    drug rehab, detox, addiction treatment, near me intents, and local modifiers

  • Added missing services to GBP

  • Updated descriptions for EEAT & LLM-visibility

    3. Geo-Targeted Authority Building

    • NAP consistency cleanup

    • Local citations

    • Highly relevant local backlinks

    • Brand/entity reinforcement

    4. Local Search Grid Expansion

    • We focused on improving grid points gradually:

      • Started from 20+ (not ranking)

      • Pulled core keywords into Top 10

      • Then pushed them into Top 3

    • Made the map turn from gray (invisible)green (ranking)

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

Results After 90 Days

The transformation was dramatic and fast.

1. Keyword Rankings Exploded

  • Core keyword (“Drug Rehab Near Me”) improved from 20+ → #1

  • More than 63% of grid points ranking in Top 3

  • 0% out-of-range after optimization

Your map went from this:
