To the Admit
Attribution tracked from first click to admission — not form fills
Payer-Aware
Budget aimed at the payer mix your facility actually serves
One Vertical
Behavioral health only — no retail, no SaaS, no distractions
Services
Built for how treatment centers actually grow.
Every engagement starts with your admissions data and ends with a census you can forecast.
Admit-Based Attribution
We connect your ad platforms to your CRM and call tracking so Google optimizes toward admissions — not form fills. Offline conversion uploads close the loop from first click to admit.
Payer Mix Optimization
ZIP-level and keyword-level payer analysis that shifts budget toward PPO-qualified volume and away from census you can't serve.
Fractional CMO
Senior marketing leadership without the full-time hire. Strategy, vendor accountability, and a growth plan your board can hold you to.
Conversion Rate Optimization
Landing pages and admissions funnels tested against calls and verified benefits — not vanity clicks.
Analytics & Reporting You Can Trust
CallTrackingMetrics, GA4, and CRM data unified into plain-English reporting. Know your cost per admit by campaign, not just your cost per click.
The Clicktuitive Difference
We optimize to the admit. Not the click.
Most agencies report on impressions, clicks, and 'leads' — and most of those leads never pick up the phone, never verify benefits, never admit. We instrument the full journey from search to admission, feed real outcomes back into the ad platforms, and reinvest budget where the admits actually come from.
Closed-Loop Attribution
Every admit traced back to the keyword, campaign, and call that produced it. Google learns from your census, not your contact form.
Compliance Fluency
LegitScript certification, HIPAA-conscious tracking architecture, and BAA-aware data flows. We know the rules of this vertical because we've never worked outside it.
Admissions Accountability
Reporting measured in cost per admit and payer-qualified volume — the numbers your CFO and clinical leadership actually care about.

Common Questions
Answers before you ask.
The questions treatment center operators ask us most — answered straight.
Yes — exclusively. Detox, residential, PHP/IOP, and outpatient behavioral health. That focus is the whole point: we already know your payers, your compliance constraints, your seasonality, and what a qualified call sounds like. You're not paying us to learn your industry.
Most agencies get judged on clicks and 'leads,' so that's what they optimize. We wire your call tracking and CRM back into the ad platforms so campaigns are optimized — and we are judged — on admissions. When your reporting is measured in cost per admit, there's nowhere for bad work to hide.
Google normally only sees form fills and calls, so it optimizes toward people who fill out forms — not people who admit. We upload your actual admissions back into Google as offline conversions, tied to the original click. Over time the algorithm learns what an admit looks like and finds more of them.
We work within LegitScript's certification framework every day and build campaigns that comply with Google's addiction treatment advertising policies. If your facility isn't yet certified, we'll walk you through what the process requires before you spend a dollar on ads.
Carefully and by design. Tracking architecture is built to keep PHI out of ad platforms — what flows back to Google is conversion signals, not patient information. Where CRM and call tracking vendors touch sensitive data, BAAs belong in place, and we'll flag any gap we find in your current setup.
Engagements are scoped to your situation — media management, fractional CMO, or both. We'll give you a flat, predictable fee after a strategy call, and we earn renewals with results rather than lock-in.
Tracking and attribution fixes start paying off in the first 30 days, because you finally see what's true. Campaign performance typically compounds over the first 90 days as admit data feeds back into the platforms. Anyone promising a full census in week two is selling you something.
Yes. We regularly operate as a fractional CMO layer — auditing, setting strategy, and holding existing vendors accountable to admissions numbers. Start with the free account scan; you'll know within days whether your current setup is leaking budget.
