For treatment centers
Creating a virtual tour of your treatment center
Families want to see where their loved one will live before committing. A virtual tour removes the biggest barrier to out-of-area admissions and increases local conversion rates.
Why virtual tours work
Families cannot always visit before admission, especially out-of-state. Photos can be misleading. Video tours provide transparency that builds trust. Facilities with virtual tours report higher website engagement time and increased call rates. The investment is modest and the asset works forever.
What to show
Patient rooms (clean, comfortable, homelike). Common areas and group therapy rooms. Outdoor spaces. Kitchen and dining area. Fitness facilities if available. The neighborhood. Staff interacting naturally (with consent). Do NOT show patients. Do NOT show clinical records or any identifying information.
How to create one
Professional videographer: $500-$2,000 for a polished 3-5 minute tour. Smartphone DIY: adequate with good lighting and stabilization. 360-degree tours (Google Street View style): $300-$800 from a Google-certified photographer. Simple walkthrough video with voiceover describing each space is the minimum viable option.
Where to use it
Your website (dedicated virtual tour page). Your Google Business Profile (upload as video). Your directory listings including Treatment Association. YouTube (ranks in Google search results). Social media. Email to families during the decision process.
