Anatomy of a healthcare placement.

A real healthcare link building placement we earned for The Haven Detox, quoted as published. Every number here is checkable.

1The publication

Everyday Health is a consumer health title, and this article was medically reviewed by a physician. DR 89, about 870,000 monthly organic visits in the US. Not a blog network, not a paid directory.

Ahrefs, Oct 2026
2The expert source

The writer was reporting on how sleep and mental health feed each other. The Haven Detox’s chief medical officer, a board-certified psychiatrist, supplied the clinical view: credited in the same story as a Johns Hopkins psychiatry professor, not the subject of it.

Insomnia, Depression, and Anxiety: How They’re Connected

By Katherine Lee · Updated on March 11, 2025Medically Reviewed by Angela D. Harper, MD

Can Insomnia Cause Anxiety or Depression?

[…]

However, just because you’re having trouble sleeping doesn’t mean you have a clinical diagnosis of depression, anxiety, or any other mental illness, nor does it mean you’ll develop one. In some cases, simply not sleeping well (in contrast to clinical insomnia) can foster rumination and worry, leading to temporary anxious or depressive thinking, according to Dr. Sawhne.

“[Not sleeping] exacerbates feelings of frustration, agitation, and tiredness,” adds 2Rostislav Ignatov, MD3, board-certified psychiatrist and chief medical officer at the Haven Detox in West Palm Beach, Florida. “The absence of sleep also increases the body’s response to stress.”4

Sleep problems also increase your risk of developing conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.[1] In fact, about 40 to 50 percent of people with insomnia also have a mental health disorder.[2]

3The backlink

In the body copy, inside the attribution, on his name, pointing to the Haven’s leadership page. Not a bio box, not a footer. In healthcare the anchor is the expert or the brand, nothing else.

4The quote

Clinical expertise, in his own words: how lost sleep worsens frustration, agitation and fatigue, and heightens the body’s response to stress. It informs the reader, and the Haven gets the credit line. The writer turns to him again later in the piece.

Healthcare clients, in their own words.

Reviews from two clinicians who lead healthcare organizations, and the numbers from two of our case studies.

Farhan Abdullah, DOPhysician and Owner, Magnolia Functional Wellness
“They generally provide about seven extremely high-quality links every month. We’ve had links in Forbes, AOL, GQ, Business Insider, Medscape, Yahoo, and many more. We’ve seen an increase in organic website traffic, AI search results, and domain ranking. We’ve also noticed a lot more organic calls. They make it super easy to work with them. They handle the majority of the work and do a great job. Brandon and Reporter Outreach have been awesome. I can’t recommend them enough.”
Steve Carleton, LCSWNow Chief Clinical Officer, Porch Light Health
“Reporter Outreach’s ability to write and understand our perspective, point of view, mission, and values is impressive. Their ability to write is head and shoulders above their competitors, and it feels like they’ve blended themselves into our point of view.”

How It Works

The first 12 months, mapped.

Here’s how a healthcare digital PR engagement actually runs: when placements start, how many land each month, when rankings and AI answers catch up, and how much of your clinician’s time it takes.

Week 1

Map your expert’s authority

We build the credential file with your clinician, map the topics they can credibly own and agree on how pitches get approved. Editors verify licensure before quoting anyone, so this happens before a single pitch goes out.

Weeks 2 to 3

First placements go live

Daily monitoring of vetted health publications surfaces the reporter requests that fit your clinician, and we pitch within hours. The first placements typically go live inside weeks two and three.

Real placements for treatment centers, quoting a psychologist, a clinical social worker and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Client names withheld.

Every day

Your clinician’s part

Every pitch goes out in your clinician’s name. The best results come when they let us pitch on their behalf. If they’d rather review each one, it’s about two a day and 5 to 10 minutes, with a reply the same day, always. Now and then a reporter asks for a short interview.

Placements land at a set cadence

Depending on your plan, 7 to 32 placements land each month, every one pre-vetted against the publication’s source bar, with clinical claims sourced before the pitch goes out. Undelivered placements roll over.

The work

What types of healthcare brands do you work with?

Treatment centers, practices, telehealth and wellness brands.

Most of our healthcare work is with addiction treatment and mental health programs, from six-bed detox homes to multi-site networks. We also work with telehealth platforms, plastic surgery and weight loss practices, and functional medicine and nutrition brands, and men’s health and longevity brands are a fit too. What they all need is a credentialed expert a health editor can quote. Our addiction treatment marketing guide covers where this fits in a treatment center’s plan.

1 of 12

The work

What publications do you place healthcare clients on?

Everyday Health, Verywell Health, EatingWell and more.

Recent healthcare placements include Everyday Health, Verywell Health, EatingWell, Parade, Real Simple, HuffPost and Men’s Health. Every placement is on a DR 50+ publication, and campaigns average DR 75+. You can name the outlets you want: for digital PR we pitch them, but the editor decides what runs.

2 of 12

The work

Do we need a credentialed expert?

For digital PR, yes. Editors quote licensed clinicians.

For digital PR, yes. Health editors quote licensed clinicians, mostly MDs, psychologists, LCSWs, PsyDs and LMFTs, plus PMHNPs and DOs. We need your clinician’s bio, headshot and LinkedIn, and they don’t need to join the strategy call. Full-Feature Articles don’t require credentials.

3 of 12

The work

Do we approve every quote?

You can, in about 5 to 10 minutes a day.

You can. The best results come when your clinician lets us pitch on their behalf, because reporters fill their stories fast. If they’d rather review, it’s about two pitches a day and 5 to 10 minutes, with a reply the same day, ideally within a couple of hours. Now and then a reporter asks for a short interview, which they can take or decline.

4 of 12

The work

How is this different from a healthcare PR firm or marketing agency?

We sell placements, not activity.

A PR retainer pays for activity: releases, media lists and pitching. Healthcare marketing agencies usually run ads, websites and content. We sell a fixed number of editorial placements every month (DR 75+ average) at published pricing, each one a published article quoting your clinician with a link to your site. Many clients run us alongside their marketing agency.

5 of 12

Cost and guarantees

What does it cost?

Digital PR from $3,000 a month.

Digital PR starts at $3,000 a month for 7 placements. Growth is $6,000 for 15 and Elite is $12,000 for 32. Every plan pitches the same publications, so only the price per placement changes. Full-Feature Articles start at $1,500 per article.

6 of 12

Cost and guarantees

Is there a minimum commitment?

3 months, then month to month.

Digital PR starts with a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. If we miss a month’s count, the undelivered placements roll into the next month and go out first.

7 of 12

Cost and guarantees

Can you guarantee a specific publication?

Yes for Full-Feature Articles, not digital PR.

With Full-Feature Articles, yes: you choose from publications accepting features in your category, and the placement is guaranteed. With digital PR, we guarantee your monthly placement count, not a specific outlet, because the editor decides what runs. You can request outlets, and we’ll pitch them.

8 of 12

Results

How long before we see results?

First placements in 2 to 3 weeks.

First placements usually go live within 2 to 3 weeks. Rankings typically start to move in months 3 to 6, and the authority compounds from months 6 to 12. Our Villa Oasis and MEDvidi case studies show what that looked like for a treatment center and a telehealth platform.

9 of 12

Results

How does digital PR help AI search visibility?

It builds the coverage AI tools cite.

AI answers lean on earned media: in Muck Rack’s May 2026 analysis of more than 25 million links cited by ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, 84% came from it. Every placement adds your clinician to that coverage. No single article gets you cited, but over 6 to 12 months the body of coverage is what gets your brand named more often.

10 of 12

Compliance

Do you work with treatment centers that aren’t LegitScript certified?

Yes. Certification is required for ads, not coverage.

Yes. LegitScript certification is what Google, Meta and Microsoft require before addiction treatment ads can run, and it has no bearing on editorial coverage or organic search. We work with licensed, legitimately operating programs whether or not they’re certified, and many of our clients run certified ad campaigns alongside the coverage we earn.

11 of 12

Compliance

What should our compliance team know?

No patient information, and no per-patient fees.

Three things. We never need patient information: your clinicians comment as experts on general health topics, never on a patient. Our fee is a flat monthly rate for placements, never tied to patients or admissions, the kind of payment EKRA and state patient-brokering laws prohibit. And if your policies require it, your clinician can approve every quote before it goes to a reporter.
