When should you pick Webserv?
You want a larger agency that works only in behavioral health, publishes its own funnel data, and can run paid media, SEO, your website and admission ops under one roof. Webserv's 2025 benchmark is the clearest public look at what paid search costs per lead, per VOB and per admission across one agency's full client base.
Webserv strengths, from its own site:
- Publishes an annual benchmark with the totals behind the averages ($16.5M spend, 994 admissions in 2025)
- Works only with addiction treatment and mental health facilities
- Sells paid media, SEO, web and admission ops, and says it works inside your CRM and call tracking
- Publishes its Admission Ops pricing bands
Questions to ask Webserv before you sign:
- What is the marketing retainer, and what is the minimum term?
- Who works on our account day to day, and how many other accounts do they run?
- How do programs like ours compare with the $16,608 benchmark average?
When should you pick RehabAdmit?
You want one flat fee, and reporting that ends at the admission instead of the lead. We work inside the CRM and call tracking you already use, set up admissions follow-up, and report cost per VOB and cost per admission by channel.
RehabAdmit strengths:
- Built for treatment centers doing $3M to $30M a year
- Flat fees for services only. We never charge per admission or tie fees to census, because paying for referrals to a treatment facility can break federal law (18 U.S.C. § 220).
- Paid media, SEO, call tracking, CRM setup and admissions follow-up in one engagement
- Works with the CRM and call tracking you already have
- No minimum term, weekly reports and a monthly review call
Where RehabAdmit does not fit:
- Operators who want an agency to file their LegitScript application. We review your site against LegitScript standards and work with your compliance advisor.
- Anyone who wants to pay per admission. We do not sell that model.
How do you choose between Webserv and RehabAdmit?
Three questions settle most of it:
- How much scale do you need? Webserv says it serves 200+ treatment centers. RehabAdmit focuses on treatment centers doing $3M to $30M a year.
- Do you need admission ops as a separate line item? Webserv prices Admission Ops on its own. RehabAdmit folds admissions follow-up into one flat fee.
- Can they show cost per admission on programs like yours? Ask both agencies for cost per VOB and cost per admission by level of care, not cost per lead.
The number to ask about: Webserv's 2025 benchmark, built from PPC data across all of its active clients, reports $406 per lead, $2,552 per VOB and $16,608 per admission. Webserv calls $16,608 "a starting point, not a target." In our experience running detox and residential campaigns, cost per admission from Google and directories lands around $2K to $5K for in-network programs and $7K to $15K out of network. Ask any agency, us included, for cost per VOB and cost per admission on programs like yours before you sign.
Frequently asked questions
What is Webserv's State of Rehab Marketing benchmark?
Webserv aggregated PPC data across all of its active clients in 2025: $16.5M in ad spend, 40,652 leads, 6,467 VOBs and 994 admissions. That works out to $406 per lead, $2,552 per VOB and $16,608 per admission (source). It is the most complete public rehab paid media dataset we have found, because it discloses the totals behind the averages.
How much does Webserv cost?
Webserv describes its single-facility marketing engagements as $8,000 to $20,000 a month (source). It also publishes Admission Ops pricing: $7,500 to $15,000 setup, then $3,500 to $15,000 per month depending on location count, with a $3,000 diagnostic (source). Ask Webserv for a written quote.
Does Webserv handle SEO and CRM?
Yes. Webserv lists paid media, content and SEO, creative and web, and admission ops as service lines, and says: "We work inside your CRM, admissions workflows, and call tracking systems" (source).
How is RehabAdmit different from Webserv?
Size and structure. Webserv says it has supported addiction and mental health facilities since 2017 and is "Trusted by 200+ Treatment centers nationwide" (source). RehabAdmit sells one flat-fee engagement with no minimum term. Both report cost per admission.
Should I plan my budget around $16,608 per admission?
Use it as context, not a target. Webserv itself calls it "a starting point, not a target" and notes its data mixes in-network and out-of-network programs (source). In our experience, detox and residential cost per admission from Google and directories runs around $2K to $5K in-network and $7K to $15K out of network, and SEO can come in from a few hundred dollars to $2K to $5K.
Can RehabAdmit match Webserv's paid media results?
We do not publish a benchmark with Webserv's sample size, so we will not claim to beat it. On the audit call, ask us for cost per VOB and cost per admission on accounts like yours and judge the numbers yourself.
Which agency fits a single facility just starting paid media?
Both work with single facilities. One data point from Webserv: it says facilities under 5 admits per month should fix lead volume and attribution before buying admissions consulting (source). That is good advice whichever agency you pick.
Do I need LegitScript certification to run rehab ads?
For addiction treatment ads in the US, yes. Google requires LegitScript certification plus Google's own certification (Google policy), Meta requires LegitScript certification and written permission from Meta (Meta policy), and LegitScript lists Microsoft among the platforms that rely on it (LegitScript).
