The Indiana read
What Paid ads has to solve in Indiana.
Auction pressure
Competition in Indiana concentrates in the largest metros (16.8 BCBAs per 100k residents statewide). Geo-targeting by location radius keeps spend on families you can actually serve, and secondary cities often carry a lower cost per inquiry.
Coverage-qualified copy
Ads and landing pages should qualify by coverage before the click. In Indiana, S.E.A. 78 (2001) caps coverage at $36,000 per year and covers through age 21; saying who you can serve - and which payers you take - filters out inquiries intake can't use and lowers cost per qualified inquiry.
Geography
Providers concentrated in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and South Bend. Rural southern Indiana has limited options. Campaign geography should mirror that map: tight radiuses around each clinic, broader in-home or telehealth targeting where families have no nearby option.
Recruiting
Paid also fills the clinical pipeline. With BCBAs averaging about $64,257 and RBTs about $16.78/hr in Indiana (below the national average), recruiting campaigns with the right offer often return more growth than another family-acquisition campaign - capacity is usually the constraint.

FAQ
Paid ads questions from Indiana.
Q.01How much should an ABA provider in Indiana spend on ads?
Enough to fill the capacity you have, and no more. We size budgets from open caseload slots, your intake conversion rate, and the cost per inquiry in each Indiana market, then scale on cost per qualified inquiry. Our free marketing budget planner gives a starting range.
Q.02Can ABA providers in Indiana use remarketing?
Not on autism-related browsing. Google's personalized-advertising policy treats health conditions as a sensitive category, so remarketing audiences built from visits to ABA or autism pages aren't permitted, and Meta restricts health-based targeting too. We build on search intent, geography, and contextual targeting instead, with HIPAA-conscious tracking.
Q.03Should paid ads in Indiana target families or BCBAs?
Whichever constraint is binding. If caseload slots sit empty, budget goes to families; if the waitlist grows faster than you can staff, it shifts to BCBA and RBT recruiting. With moderate hiring demand in Indiana, most programs run both.
