Advertising in the healthcare sector is one of the most heavily regulated areas across digital platforms, especially on Google Ads and Facebook. Policies surrounding medical content, weight loss, supplements, pharmaceuticals and even certain health services are notoriously strict. For many companies, these restrictions create significant roadblocks to generating leads or selling products online.
If you’ve ever had an ad disapproved for violating vague or confusing policy guidelines, or had an account suspended without warning, you’re not alone. From keyword restrictions and landing page compliance to ad creative limitations, the margin for error is razor-thin.
Common Advertising Restrictions in Healthcare
Here are just a few of the key advertising challenges healthcare companies face:
-
Google Ads:
-
Prohibits advertising of prescription drugs without certification
-
Restricts language related to weight loss, body image, and certain medical conditions
-
Disallows misleading claims, even if medically accurate
-
Requires strict landing page compliance with disclaimers, terms, and privacy policies
-
-
Facebook Ads:
-
Flags or disapproves ads for using “before and after” imagery
-
Restricts targeting for sensitive health conditions
-
Limits ad copy that makes users feel targeted or judged about their health
-
Prohibits claims related to unrealistic outcomes or guaranteed results
-
These policies are enforced by automated systems that are often inconsistent and difficult to appeal.
