LegitScript website prep for treatment centers
Your website in order
before LegitScript reviews it
LegitScript addiction treatment certification comes before any Google, Microsoft or Meta ad for a US center. RehabSignal, the admissions software and marketing plan for treatment centers, brings your website up to LegitScript's checks before you apply.
- Licenses, address and ownership on every page
- Photos of your own building
Inside the monthly feeYour center pays LegitScript's own fee directly
- Pages only for programs you're licensed for
- Ownership named plainly
- Your street address shown
- Ads start once certified
What the reviewer opens on your site
Before LegitScript certifies a center, a reviewer goes through its website. A missing street address, a stock photo or a program you aren't licensed for can hold up the application.
Programs your license covers
Each program page describes only the services your state license and accreditation actually cover.
Real photos
Every picture shows your own building and the rooms clients stay in. Stock or AI images shown as your center come down before you apply.
Address, license and ownership shown
The footer and About page carry your street address, the accreditation seals you hold, license numbers and the owners' names.
Staff bios
Each clinician's bio names their role and license type, written from the credentials your clinical director sends.
The prep is part of your plan; LegitScript's fees are separate
Your center applies and pays LegitScript directly. Our website work costs nothing extra.

Ad rep
While LegitScript reviews
What brings inquiries in before the ads start
LegitScript gives no timeline, and ads wait for the certificate. Until then, these bring in inquiries, all live by day 14.
Local search
Families find your center on Maps before any ad runs
Search ads wait for certification; the Maps listing doesn't. We keep its hours, photos and programs current, and write a page for each program and nearby city you serve, so AI answers about detox in your area can name your center.
- Your Maps listing shows real photos, hours and programs, and calls from it reach the admissions line with Maps as the source
- A page for each city you draw from answers the local searches families type in
- Program pages written for AI answers name your programs, city and license plainly
Calls
Every call from search traced to the listing or page it came from
Your Maps listing, your website and each referral partner get their own tracking number, and every one rings your admissions line. When the ads start, each campaign gets a number too, so the monthly report compares search, ads and partners side by side.
- After hours, the admissions line rings the on-call coordinator's cell first, with the caller's source on screen
- When a call from your Maps listing rings out at 8:55 p.m., a text goes back right away, signed with your center's initials
- Messages left overnight show up as written transcripts before the 7:00 handover
- When a parent calls back Thursday, the first call's notes open for the coordinator, with the texts since and the program they asked about
Website
Program pages that end in an assessment request or call
The same pages the reviewer checks also bring in inquiries. Each program you're licensed for gets a separate page, with words for families reading late at night, and each ends with a booking calendar for an assessment or a call button for the admissions line.
- A self-screening quiz ends in a callback request or a call button
- Every form asks for consent before anyone follows up by text, and thank-you pages carry no ad pixels at all
- Pages are built for phones first, load quickly and give every picture alt text, with plain headings and large text and buttons throughout
- Unlimited edits by our team when a program, license or phone number changes
Ad drafts
Campaigns written and waiting for your certificate
Your ad rep drafts Google and Microsoft campaigns while LegitScript reviews, inside your center's own ad accounts. The wording follows Google's and Microsoft's rules for addiction ads, and nothing goes live until your certificate arrives. Clicks are billed to your center by Google and Microsoft.
- Ads for detox point to the detox page, never the home page, so the click lands where the search began
- Each ad's words are checked against Google's rules on addiction ads before launch day
- Ads on Meta also wait for its written permission, requested the day you're certified
- Your ad rep agrees each month's spend with you, and your center owns every ad account
Reviews
Reviews answered without saying anyone was ever in care
Before an ad runs, families judge your center by its Google reviews. We ask alumni and families who opted in for a review after discharge, and answer each one in your center's name, with reply rules your center okays first.
- Requests go to everyone who opted in, never sorted by star rating
- Facebook reviews sit beside Google's, answered from the same reply rules, with nothing that hints at anyone's care
- Your best reviews appear on your website beside each program page
- The monthly report lists every new review and its reply by location, so each site's rating is plain
Texts
Texts from search answered on your center's line
Families who find you on Maps often text before they call. Texts to your center's number appear in the admissions team's inbox, next to web chat and messages from Facebook and Instagram.
- Templates for what families ask about first: programs, what to bring, arrival times and directions
- Lock-screen previews stay neutral, signed with your center's initials and no treatment words
- A coordinator can hand a thread to a colleague with a note in team chat attached
- Bulk texts go only to people who opted in on a form, and each carries an opt-out
- WhatsApp and Messenger threads arrive there too, each tagged with its source
- The staff phone app keeps the same inbox in reach away from the desk
Before applying
Site prep first, then your center applies
We change the website, your center gathers its documents and applies, and LegitScript decides. Below, the five steps in the order they happen.

10 questions
What is LegitScript certification for addiction treatment centers?
LegitScript certification is an independent check that a treatment center is licensed, accurately described and run by the people it names. Google asks for it before showing addiction treatment ads in the US; so do Meta and Microsoft. The center applies and pays LegitScript; we prepare the website.
Is LegitScript required for Google Ads?
Yes. Google won't run ads for addiction treatment in the US without it, and Microsoft follows the same rule. Until your certificate arrives, we bring inquiries in through your Maps listing, search pages and reviews. Once it does, your ad rep runs the campaigns in accounts your center owns, and Google charges your center for the clicks.
What does LegitScript look at on our website during the review?
LegitScript looks at the street address, state licenses, accreditation, ownership, photos of the real building, and whether each program page matches what the center is licensed to provide.
How long until LegitScript certifies a center?
LegitScript gives no fixed timeline; it can take weeks or months. Our website work is finished by day 14, before your center applies.
What does LegitScript certification cost, and who pays it?
LegitScript sets its own fees: one to apply, then a yearly fee for each location, listed on its website. Your center pays them directly. Our website prep and the application checklist come with every RehabSignal plan; the smallest is $97 a month.
Can a center lose its LegitScript certification?
Yes, it can. Certification renews every year, and LegitScript can withdraw it if a center or its website stops meeting the standards. Our team updates the site each time a program, a license or an owner changes.
Is sober living eligible for it?
No. LegitScript doesn't certify sober living, so those homes get the website and reviews.
Will you get our center certified?
No, LegitScript makes that decision, and your center applies and pays it directly. We bring the website up to LegitScript's checks, hand over the application checklist and help gather the paperwork.
Do the site's photos have to be ours?
Yes, and only yours go up. LegitScript expects to see your actual building, rooms and grounds, not a stock picture of somewhere else. Send them at kickoff; phone photos in daylight work.
Does Meta ask for LegitScript as well?
Yes. Meta asks for LegitScript certification before addiction treatment ads run, then for its own written permission. With both in hand, the Meta campaigns go up in your center's own account, and Meta bills your center for clicks.
