Search Recovery FAQs
About Search Recovery
What is Search Recovery?
Why was Search Recovery created?
We exist to do this work properly, with lived understanding, ethical standards and a long-term view.
How is Search Recovery different from other SEO or marketing agencies?
Most agencies treat rehab and mental health like any other industry. We don’t.
Search Recovery:
Works only in addiction and mental health
Understands clinical, ethical, and regulatory nuance
Prioritises trust and clarity over aggressive conversion tactics
Builds sustainable visibility, not algorithm-chasing strategies
Is led by people with lived experience of recovery and the sector
Do you work with all treatment providers?
No. We work with a limited number of organisations at a time, and fit matters.
We’re best suited to providers who value transparency, ethical practice and long-term thinking. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you.We exist to do this work properly, with lived understanding, ethical standards and a long-term view.
Services & Support
What services does Search Recovery offer?
Our work typically includes:
SEO strategy and content architecture
Website structure and user journey planning
Ethical content writing for addiction and mental health services
Brand positioning and messaging clarity
Audits of existing SEO, content or websites
Consultancy and training for in-house teams
We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” packages.
Can you help if our rankings have dropped?
Yes. We regularly work with organisations affected by Google updates, technical issues, or poor historical SEO practices. We’ll focus on diagnosing the real problem, not masking it.

Do you offer copywriting as a standalone service?
Sometimes. However, copywriting works best when it’s grounded in strategy, structure and intent. We’ll always recommend the approach that actually serves your goals, even if that means less writing, not more.
Can you work with our existing website or marketing team?
SEO, Ethics & Compliance
Do you guarantee rankings or results?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
We focus on building the conditions for sustainable growth: sound structure, clear messaging, trustworthy content and alignment with how people actually search.
How do you approach SEO for addiction and mental health?
Carefully and responsibly.
Our SEO approach is grounded in:
User intent and lived experience
Clinical and ethical awareness
Clear, accurate language
Long-term trust signals
Compliance with advertising and platform guidelines.
Do you use AI to write content?
We may use AI as a support tool, but never as a replacement for human insight. All content is written and edited by experienced professionals who understand the subject matter and its impact.
Will your work comply with Google and advertising guidelines?
Yes. Compliance and transparency are central to how we work, not an afterthought.
Costs & Working Together
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and level of involvement. We don’t publish fixed prices because the work is highly tailored.
After an initial conversation, we’ll be clear about:
What’s needed
What’s optional
What will actually move the needle.
Do you offer short-term or one-off projects?
Yes, audits, strategy work or consultancy can be delivered as standalone projects. Ongoing work is by mutual agreement, not obligation.
Is there a minimum contract length?
No. We don’t lock clients into long contracts. Trust and results matter more than paperwork.
Getting Started
How do I know if Search Recovery is right for us?
If you’re asking:
“Why isn’t this working anymore?”
“How do we do this ethically?”
“How do we build trust, not just traffic?”
“We want to slow down and do this properly.”
Then we’re probably worth talking to.
What’s the first step?
Start with a conversation. No pitch, no pressure, just a chance to understand your situation and see if working together makes sense.
