Sober Nexus - An Advanced Online Search Platform for the Drug / Alcohol Treatment Industry

Dec. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- They are 5 guys based out of Hollywood, CA.  Two are ex-treatment marketing pros, two are computer wizards, and the 5th is a social media guru.  They came up with the idea 2 years ago and soon emerged Sober Nexus - http://www.sobernexus.com  They refer to it as an "advanced online exposure platform for the addiction treatment industry," and as of current, there are just over 100 sober livings and treatment centers within their platform.

"We utilized our broad industry experience, hooked up as a well-rounded group of pros, and developed a platform for treatment facilities and sober livings in a manner that circumvents the many problems associated with the current online exposure options," says Ron Prosky, an ex-treatment center marketer who currently speaks with facilities nationwide on a selective basis.  They call it a 4-tier platform and claim there has never been anything remotely like it in the industry.  He goes on to say, "it's cheaper than nearly every other option out there such as pay-per-click, SEO and sponsored listings, while providing a level of targeted exposure that is nearly unparalleled."  Essentially the platform consists of: (one), an extremely rich directory listing, or micro-site as they call it; (two), an automated syndication technology that blasts the actual micro-site along 20 or so online channels that are indexed by the search engines; (three), a social media network of approximately 2500 treatment professionals; and (four), traditional print advertising and strong industry presence.

Trying to understand the vision and technology is easily a 10 minute schpeel, but the results and statistics were truly amazing.  Upon investigating their claims on Alexa, the numbers were astonishing to say the least.  "We have facilities that have literally scaled back, or even completely eliminated their pay-per-click campaigns and all their other directory services, and replaced them with Sober Nexus, which is literally less than 100 bucks a month," said carl Melek-Shalom, computer guru at Sober Nexus.  "I created Sober Nexus through a real-estate framework that enables us to do so much more than anything else out there, and when you add our huge social media presence to the mix, the results are beyond words," he goes on to say.

Sober Nexus is seeing close to 40,000 impressions per month, and according to Alexa, their bounce rate is hovering around the 30% to 35% margin.  They operate nationwide and currently focus on sober livings and mid to high-end treatment facilities since their target audience is primarily private-pay and insured.  They have a video that was recently posted online at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZl2NQQj9S8  They are all very open about their own recovery process and seem to carry an attitude of service, integrity and helping others.  Sober Nexus can be seen online at: http://www.sobernexus.com or at (888) 706-3987.
