Patient acquisition / Weight management

GLP-1 and weight loss marketing that keeps the ad account alive.

Medical weight loss is one of the highest-spend categories in healthcare and one of the easiest to get banned in. Body-focused copy, before-and-after imagery, uncertified prescribing, and pixels carrying health data restrict accounts mid-scale every week.

Provido builds weight management acquisition inside the rules, and measures it to retained patients, from running acquisition for a GLP-1 program.

What gets weight loss accounts restricted

  • Copy that implies the viewer's body or weight ("Tired of your belly?").
  • Before-and-after imagery, largely prohibited for weight loss on Meta.
  • Prescription telehealth advertising without the required certifications (Google healthcare certification, LegitScript).
  • Claims that imply FDA approval for compounded medications, or unsubstantiated outcome claims.
  • Pixels and URLs that pass health or medication data.

What works instead

  • Outcome and process creative: what the program includes, clinician oversight, pricing, and how fast someone can start.
  • Landing pages that answer eligibility and price above the fold and say plainly what medications are and are not offered.
  • An immediate reply that answers eligibility and pricing and starts intake in the same thread.
  • State-by-state campaigns that follow licensure and pharmacy coverage.
  • Retention from the first refill: check-ins, refill reminders, and win-back, because month-two cancellation decides profitability.

Measure to retained patients

Cost per completed consult, consult-to-first-fill rate, and month-two and month-three retention by state and source. A cheap lead who cancels after one month is not an acquisition. More on the model: digital health and DTC patient acquisition.

Common questions

Straight answers

How do GLP-1 telehealth companies advertise without getting banned?
By avoiding body-implying copy and before-and-after imagery, holding the certifications prescription telehealth requires, keeping claims substantiated and accurate about compounded medications, and using server-side tracking that never passes health data.
How do medical weight loss clinics get more patients?
Local search and service-area campaigns that describe the program, clinician oversight, and price; landing pages with eligibility up front; an immediate reply that starts intake; and retention sequences that keep patients past month two.
What is a good cost per patient for a GLP-1 program?
It depends on price and retention. The number that matters is cost per patient retained at month three against margin, not cost per lead.
What does weight loss clinic marketing cost?
Provido engagements run $5,000 to $8,000 per month plus a one-time $7,500 setup, with ad spend billed direct at no markup.
