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.
