Who decides what goes into my profile?
Your advertiser (paid) profile content is shaped by your dedicated Recovery.com performance manager and copywriter working together. Your performance manager determines how best to position your profile for your market and ideal clients, while the copywriter studies your website to identify what differentiates you from competitors. They meet to align content and data strategy, then invite your feedback in strategic meetings.
Will Recovery.com copywriters use my website’s existing language?
Yes. We review your current materials carefully and adapt strong existing phrasing to fit Recovery.com’s format, tone, and standards—so your profile feels authentic to your brand, not rewritten from scratch. To learn more about how to strengthen your messaging, read our blog post: 5 Common Mistakes We See on Treatment Center Websites (and How to Fix Them)
Can I write the content for my profile?
We ask that you don’t send copy for us to paste in. Our professional copywriters specialize in transforming technical or promotional language into writing that resonates with prospective clients. Your dedicated performance manager ensures your profile covers the right specializations to perform competitively, and our writers confirm that every claim is supported on your website before it’s published.
Can I request profile changes?
Yes, though we handle content updates strategically rather than ad hoc. Typos or factual errors are corrected right away, but broader edits can happen during a complimentary content meeting with your copywriter and performance manager. This focused review keeps your profile accurate, consistent, and optimized for performance while preventing unnecessary minor revisions.
What makes Recovery.com’s writing “unbiased”?
Our copywriters are trained to avoid promotional or comparative language. Instead, we focus on clarity, empathy, and verified details—helping readers understand your program without exaggeration or marketing spin.
