Report Card

Executive Summary

Rogers Behavioral Health enters October 2026 with 10.8% valid recommendation coverage, placing it fourth among nine tracked eating disorder treatment center brands. The brand recorded 8 total mentions across 65 qualified observations, with 7 positive and 1 neutral, producing a net sentiment score of 0.875, the highest among all tracked brands. Its valid recommendation count reached 7, and its rank-one rate moved from 0.0% in July 2026 to 1.5% in October 2026.

The benchmark classifies Rogers Behavioral Health's coverage increase as significant. Its valid recommendation coverage rose from 2.2% in July 2026 to 10.8% in October 2026, an 8.6-point gain that represents a third consecutive monthly rise. This places the brand among three tracked companies that exceeded normal month-to-month variation from the July baseline, alongside Monte Nido and Center for Discovery.

The strongest signal for Rogers Behavioral Health is its sentiment profile. With 7 positive mentions out of 8 total, the brand achieves a net sentiment score of 0.875, well above The Emily Program at 0.4483 and Alsana at 0.6667. This suggests that when AI systems mention Rogers Behavioral Health, they frame it positively rather than as a neutral reference or comparison anchor.

The clearest gap is top-three placement. Despite 10.8% valid recommendation coverage, Rogers Behavioral Health records only a 1.5% top-three rate, meaning it appears among the top three recommended options in just 1 of 65 qualified observations. Its average recommended rank of 5.2 indicates that most of its recommendations land outside the top three positions. The brand is being recommended, but not at the prominence level that drives shortlist inclusion.

Platform analysis shows Rogers Behavioral Health's strongest recommendation signal on AI Overviews, where it achieved a 33.3% valid recommendation coverage rate and a 5.6% rank-one rate. On AI Mode, its coverage drops to 2.2% with no top-three placements. The brand recorded no presence on Copilot in the qualified observation set.

The category context matters here. The Emily Program leads at 18.5% coverage with a 7.7% rank-one rate, while Monte Nido holds 13.9% coverage but 0.0% rank-one rate. Rogers Behavioral Health sits in a middle tier where it is being recommended more often than most competitors but is not yet converting that recommendation coverage into first-position placements at scale.

What Rogers Behavioral Health Is Winning

Questions This Section Answers

• How does Rogers Behavioral Health's sentiment score compare to other eating disorder treatment centers?
• What drove the significant increase in Rogers Behavioral Health's recommendation coverage?
• How strong is rogersbh.org as a cited source in AI responses about eating disorder treatment?

Rogers Behavioral Health holds the highest net sentiment score in the category at 0.875. Of its 8 total mentions in October 2026, 7 were positive and only 1 was neutral, with zero negative mentions. This framing quality exceeds every other tracked brand, including The Emily Program at 0.4483 and Alsana at 0.6667.

The brand recorded a significant coverage increase from the July 2026 baseline. Its valid recommendation coverage rose from 2.2% to 10.8%, an 8.6-point gain that the benchmark classifies as beyond normal month-to-month variation. This was also a third consecutive monthly rise, indicating sustained upward movement rather than a single-month anomaly.

Rogers Behavioral Health achieved a rank-one placement in October 2026, moving from 0.0% in July 2026 to 1.5%. While this represents only 1 of 65 qualified observations, it marks the brand's first appearance in the top recommendation position within the tracked series.

The brand's domain, rogersbh.org, ranks second among the top 10 cited domains in AI responses about eating disorder treatment centers, with 118 citations representing 5.3% of all citations. This domain was cited across all six canonical AI surface families: ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, AI Mode, AI Overviews, and Perplexity. This citation footprint suggests the brand's owned content is part of the public evidence layer that AI systems retrieve and synthesize.

Where Rogers Behavioral Health Has the Clearest AI Visibility Gaps

Questions This Section Answers

• Why does Rogers Behavioral Health's top-three placement rate lag behind competitors with similar coverage?
• Which AI platforms show the weakest recommendation signal for Rogers Behavioral Health?
• How does Rogers Behavioral Health's presence rate compare to category leaders like Monte Nido?

The primary gap is top-three placement. Rogers Behavioral Health records a 1.5% top-three rate despite 10.8% valid recommendation coverage. This means the brand is being recommended in 7 of 65 qualified observations but appears among the top three options in only 1. Its average recommended rank of 5.2 confirms that most recommendations land in lower positions. By comparison, Alsana achieves a 12.3% top-three rate with similar coverage, and The Emily Program reaches 10.8% top-three placement.

Platform concentration is a second gap. Rogers Behavioral Health's recommendation signal is heavily concentrated on AI Overviews, where it achieved 33.3% valid recommendation coverage. On AI Mode, its coverage drops to 2.2%, and it recorded no qualified presence on Copilot. The brand's visibility is not evenly distributed across the AI surfaces where prospective patients and their families may be searching.

Presence rate remains modest at 12.3%, meaning Rogers Behavioral Health appears in only 8 of 65 qualified observations. Monte Nido, by contrast, appears in 58.5% of observations, and The Emily Program in 44.6%. While raw presence is not the same as recommendation, the brand's relatively low presence rate limits the number of opportunities it has to convert mentions into recommendations.

The brand recorded no top-three placements on AI Mode and no presence on Copilot. As AI Mode and Copilot continue to grow as discovery surfaces, this platform gap represents a structural risk to recommendation coverage.

Biggest Opportunity

Questions This Section Answers

• What is the primary opportunity for Rogers Behavioral Health to improve its AI recommendation placement?
• What specific evidence or framing could move Rogers Behavioral Health's recommendations into the top three?

The clearest opportunity for Rogers Behavioral Health is converting its strong sentiment profile into top-three placements. The brand already achieves the highest net sentiment score in the category at 0.875, meaning AI systems frame it positively when they mention it. The gap is positional: recommendations exist but land at an average rank of 5.2 rather than in the top three.

Closing this gap requires understanding which prompts produce recommendations that place Rogers Behavioral Health in lower positions and what evidence or framing would move those recommendations higher. The brand's rogersbh.org domain already ranks second among cited sources, suggesting the owned content layer is strong. The opportunity lies in the prompt and citation layers: ensuring that high-intent prompts about eating disorder treatment options surface content that positions Rogers Behavioral Health as a leading choice rather than one option among many.

Competitive Landscape

Average recommended rank covers rank-eligible recommendations only.

Rogers Behavioral Health's 1.54% top-three rate places it in a cluster with The Renfrew Center and Center for Discovery, well below the category leaders. Its rank-one rate of 1.54% matches its top-three rate, indicating that when it does reach the top three, it tends to land in first position. The brand's sentiment score of 0.875 is the highest in the table, suggesting that framing quality is not the constraint on its recommendation placement.

What CiteWorks Studio Would Do Next

Phase 1: AI Visibility Market Discovery Audit Map the specific prompts and surfaces where Rogers Behavioral Health receives recommendations but lands outside the top three, and identify which competitors capture the higher positions.

Phase 2: Recommendation Readiness Plan Prioritize the prompt clusters and platform gaps where the brand's strong sentiment profile can be converted into top-three placements, focusing on AI Mode and Copilot where presence is weakest.

Phase 3: Owned Answer Layer Buildout Strengthen the rogersbh.org content layer to ensure that high-intent prompts about eating disorder treatment options surface content that positions the brand as a leading recommendation rather than one option among many.

Phase 4: Citation / Authority Layer Development Expand the brand's citation footprint beyond its current strong position on rogersbh.org to include third-party sources, clinical references, and comparison contexts that AI systems retrieve when forming recommendations.

Phase 5: Monthly AI Visibility and Recommendation Tracking Track recommendation coverage, top-three rate, and rank-one rate month over month to measure whether the brand is closing the positional gap with category leaders.

Why This Matters

AI presence alone is not enough. Rogers Behavioral Health demonstrates this clearly: the brand holds the highest sentiment score in the category and recorded a significant coverage increase, yet its top-three placement rate remains at 1.5%. Being mentioned positively is not the same as being recommended prominently. When a prospective patient or family member asks an AI assistant for eating disorder treatment options, the brands that appear in the top three positions capture the shortlist. Brands that appear in lower positions or as neutral references do not.

The next move for Rogers Behavioral Health is targeted correction of the prompt, page, and citation layers that determine recommendation placement. The brand's owned domain already ranks second among cited sources, and its sentiment profile is the strongest in the category. The gap is positional: converting positive mentions into top-three recommendations requires understanding which prompts produce lower-ranked placements and what evidence or framing would move those recommendations higher.

Core Metrics

Sentiment Score

Sentiment Score = (positive mentions × 1 + neutral mentions × 0 + negative mentions × -1) / total mentions

For Rogers Behavioral Health in October 2026: (7 × 1 + 1 × 0 + 0 × -1) / 8 = 0.875

This score matters because unclassified mention counts are misleading. A brand that appears frequently but is framed neutrally or negatively is not in the same position as a brand that appears less often but is consistently recommended. Share of voice is a diagnostic metric, not a business KPI. A positive recommendation, a neutral reference, a cautionary mention, and a competitor-displaced mention are not equal.

Rogers Behavioral Health's sentiment score of 0.875 indicates that when AI systems mention the brand, they frame it positively. This is a strength. However, sentiment alone does not determine recommendation placement. The brand's top-three rate of 1.5% shows that positive framing is not automatically converting into prominent recommendation positions. Counting all mentions as wins would obscure this distinction. Classified sentiment is required before interpreting AI visibility, and in this case, it reveals that the brand's constraint is positional rather than reputational.

Methodology

1. This report is a benchmark-based analysis of Rogers Behavioral Health's AI recommendation visibility in the Eating Disorder Treatment Centers category for October 2026. It is not a client implementation case study.
2. The reporting window is October 2026, with comparison data from July 2026, August 2026, and September 2026 where available.
3. AI platforms tracked in the qualified observation set include Copilot, AI Mode, and AI Overviews. The benchmark's canonical surface families also include ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, but qualified observations in October 2026 were concentrated on the three surfaces listed.
4. The October 2026 benchmark began with 320 source prompt-surface observations and 246 unique questions. After qualification stages, 65 observations remained in the public denominator.
5. The competitor universe includes nine tracked brands: Alsana, Center for Discovery, ERC Pathlight, Monte Nido, Rogers Behavioral Health, The Emily Program, The Renfrew Center, Veritas Collaborative, and Walden Behavioral Care.
6. Public clusters used in this report include the Brand Recommendation cluster (C01: Best Eating Disorder Treatment Centers). The Pricing & Value and Multi-Brand Comparison clusters recorded no qualified observations in any tracked month.
7. Stage 0 extraction retains the query, AI surface, answer, brand outcome, recommendation placement, sentiment, and where exposed, citations or attributable evidence sources.
8. A mention is defined as any appearance of the brand in a qualified observation, regardless of recommendation status or sentiment.
9. A valid recommendation is defined as a positive recommendation with rank 1-10 credit. Neutral references, cautionary mentions, and comparison anchors are not counted as valid recommendations unless the dataset explicitly marks them as such.
10. Brand-level percentages use the 65 qualified observations as the public denominator, not the raw collection of 320 prompt-surface observations.
11. The benchmark's third qualified surface changed from Gemini in August and September 2026 to Copilot in October 2026. Surface-mix changes can shift which brands receive recommendations without any change in brand behavior.
12. Limitations: The October 2026 qualified set is 65 observations, down from 91 in July 2026. Brand-level percentages rest on small absolute counts, so single-prompt shifts can move percentages by several points. Movement between months identifies changes worth investigating; it does not establish cause.
