Policy and claims review
Your keywords, ad text, and landing pages checked against Google's Healthcare and medicines rules.
The Problem
Your Ads Get Approved, Then Limited, Then Disapproved Again
It shows up when a new service line launches. Ads stall under Google's health policies, tracking tags collect more than they should, and nobody can say which searches booked a visit.
Policy flags
Ads get limited or disapproved under health policies.
Policy flags
A policy check before launch catches restricted terms, risky claims, and certification needs.
Drug names
A prescription drug name in a keyword flags the account.
Drug names
Ad text and keywords describe the treatment without restricted prescription drug terms.
Patient lists
Your team wants remarketing to past patients.
Patient lists
Targeting uses search keywords and location, since health ads can't use patient lists.
Leaky tags
Appointment page tags collect fields nobody reviewed.
Leaky tags
Tracking records each request with no names, conditions, or contact details.
You launch ads for a new physical therapy program, and several come back limited under Google's healthcare policy. Someone used a prescription drug name in a keyword, and your account got flagged. Your marketing team wants remarketing to past patients, which Google's personalized ads rules don't allow for health. Meanwhile, the tags on your appointment page collect form fields nobody reviewed. Your report shows clicks, but your scheduling team can't match them to booked visits.
We start with a policy check before any ad runs: restricted terms, landing page claims, and whether a service needs Google certification first. Your campaigns split by service line and clinic location, each with its own budget. Targeting uses keywords and location, not patient lists. Your tracking records appointment requests without names or health details. You get approved ads and booked visits instead of a cycle of disapprovals and guesswork.
Policy check before launch
Your restricted terms, landing page claims, and certification needs reviewed before any ad runs.
Campaigns by service line
Urgent care, therapy, and specialty services each get their own budget and landing page.
No patient data in tracking
Appointment requests counted without names, conditions, or contact details reaching Google.
Our Healthcare PPC Management Process
From Policy Check to Approved, Tracked Campaigns in Five Clear Steps
You see policy risks and tracking gaps before we spend anything, then approve the service lines, ad text, and what tracking may record. Each month you see booked visits by service.
We review your Google Ads account, your disapproval history, keywords, and landing pages against Google's Healthcare and medicines policy. You get a written list of restricted terms, risky claims, and any service that needs certification first.
What's Included
What You Get With Google Ads for Healthcare
A policy check before launch, campaigns by service line and location, tracking that keeps patient details out, and weekly monitoring so approved ads stay approved.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built healthcare apps and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Clinics Trust Us With Healthcare Ads
We read Google's health policies before we write your ads and keep patient data out of every tag. You get booked visits your compliance team can trust.
Policy first, ads second
We read the relevant Google policy before writing a single ad for you. Fewer disapprovals mean fewer days with your clinic missing from search.
Patient data stays out
We'd rather undercount conversions than send Google a condition or a name. Every tag on your appointment pages gets checked before launch.
Agreements before access
When the work requires access to protected health information, a business associate agreement comes first. Campaign management itself rarely needs that access.
No unproven treatments
We don't advertise experimental therapies that Google's policy bars. That protects your account and the patients searching for real care.
Your clinic owns the account
Your organization holds the Google Ads account, the tags, and every report. If you switch partners, years of campaign history go with you.
Plain talk on fit
If healthcare SEO or reviews would bring patients cheaper, we say so before you spend. Paid search isn't the right first step for every clinic.

Good fit
Urgent care and walk-in clinics
Your urgent care clinic wants patients searching for walk-in care nearby, with ads that run on your opening hours and pause when you close.
Physical therapy and specialty practices
Your practice offers several services, from physical therapy to sports injury care, and you want PPC for healthcare split by service line, not one budget.
Clinics with disapproved ads
Your ads keep getting limited or disapproved under Google's health policies, and nobody can tell you which terms or pages triggered it.
Behavioral health and addiction providers
You treat substance use disorders and need LegitScript and Google certification before your ads can run in the US. You want help through that process.
Multi-location health groups
Your group runs several clinics, and one budget favors the busiest site. You want location budgets, Microsoft Advertising, and reports for each clinic.
Not a fit
Ad spend under $1,200 monthly
Your ad budget is under $1,200 a month on top of our fee. Healthcare SEO Agency & Medical Practice SEO may bring more patients at that level.
Dental practice only
You run a dental office rather than a medical clinic. Dental PPC Management is the page built for treatment lines, insurance, and dental tracking.
Unproven treatments to promote
You want ads for stem cell or other experimental therapies. Google's healthcare policy doesn't allow most of them, so we won't run those campaigns.
Website not ready for patients
Your site has no appointment request option and loads slowly on phones. Medical Website Design Services come first, because ads pay off only on a working page.

Our healthcare Google Ads management starts at $950 per month for one clinic and up to 3 service lines. Google bills the ad spend to your own account. The $1,600 plan adds up to 6 service lines, landing pages, and booked visit imports. Health groups with up to 5 locations start at $2,350.
Most clinics launch 2 to 4 weeks after the free policy check, once tracking is audited and ads are approved. Services that need certification take longer, because LegitScript and Google review the application first. Approved campaigns can bring you appointment requests in the first weeks, and your service line results get clearer by month three.
Yes, most healthcare businesses should test PPC, because patients search for care when they need it, often nearby and soon. If you run urgent care, physical therapy, or a specialty clinic with open capacity, you benefit most. PPC is a weaker fit when your service needs certification you can't get, or when your schedule is already full. We'll tell you which case you're in.
Yes, within Google's Healthcare and medicines policy. Most clinic services you offer can advertise normally. Prescription drug names are restricted terms, addiction treatment and online pharmacies need certification, and most experimental treatments aren't allowed. Health ads also can't use remarketing lists or Customer Match, so campaigns lean on keywords and location.
Anyone with access can manage the account, but you want someone who knows Google's health policies and keeps patient data out of tracking. That can be a trained staff member, an agency, or a specialist like DeveloperLook. Ask any candidate how they handle certification, restricted terms, and conversion tracking before you hand over access.
The best one for you knows Google's health policies, reports booked visits rather than clicks, and keeps patient data out of tracking. Look for a PPC agency healthcare compliance teams can audit, with written answers on certification and tags. Ask to see a sample of the report you'd get. Fit with your service lines matters more than agency size.
Good agencies manage PPC for healthcare clinics in a set order: policy check, tracking audit, then campaigns by service line and location. Your ads follow clinic hours, your keywords avoid restricted terms, and targeting relies on search intent rather than patient lists. Each week they review search terms and policy status, and each month they report booked visits.
Generally no. Google's personalized advertising policy treats health as a sensitive category. So you can't use your own audience lists, such as remarketing lists, Customer Match, or lookalike segments. Predefined Google audiences and keyword targeting still work. We build campaigns around search intent and location, so the policy doesn't stall your launch.
In the US, addiction treatment providers need LegitScript certification plus Google's own certification, and online pharmacies and prescribing telemedicine services need certification too. Health insurance ads also require it. Most clinic services, like urgent care or physical therapy, don't. We check your services during the free policy check and tell you exactly what applies to you.
Your organization does. The Google Ads account, tracking setup, and reports are created under your clinic or group, and we work through a login you can remove. Your tracking holds no patient details, so the data you keep is campaign data only. If you change partners, every campaign and its history stays with you.
