11 | Reverse Content Marketing: 4 Steps To Growing Your Census

Описание: Most treatment centers are creating content in the wrong order — and it’s costing them admissions.

In this episode of The elev8.io Podcast, Gary Garth sits down with Clint Mally, VP of Content at Recovery.com, to unpack Reverse Content Marketing — a 4-step framework that starts at the bottom of the funnel with admissions alignment, conversion tracking, and trust-building… and only then expands toward visibility and scale.

Clint explains why your call flow, VOB form, thank-you page, and location pages are far more important than random blog posts or social media content — and how small conversion improvements can dramatically lower your Cost-Per-Admit.

If you’re a Behavioral Health executive looking to stabilize census, improve lead quality, and grow predictably, this episode gives you practical steps you can implement immediately.
