PPC for health and supplement brands, within the rules.

Google Ads, Shopping, Meta and Amazon Ads for health and supplement brands. Supplements sit under some of the strictest ad policies there are, so claims, ingredients and tracking are checked before a dollar is spent.

What we do

Growth that stays approved.

One product page can put a supplement account at risk. The work is growing sales while every ad, product and landing page stays within Google's and Meta's health policies.

01Policy and claims

Claims checked before they run

Ad copy, product titles and landing pages checked against Google's healthcare policies and the authorised health claims for your market. Wording that promises to treat or cure is rewritten before it causes a disapproval or a suspension.

  • Ingredients checked against restricted lists
  • Claims matched to authorised wording
  • Landing pages reviewed with the ads
02Shopping and Search

Searches by need and ingredient

Shopping and Search built around how people search: by ingredient, by need and by form, such as capsules, powder or gummies. Brand and non-brand are kept apart, so you see what a new customer costs.

  • Titles with ingredient, strength and form
  • Brand and non-brand reported apart
  • Weekly search term clean up
03Repeat orders

Judged on the second order too

Supplements are bought again. Where the store can report it, we read the value of repeat orders and subscriptions, so first order targets reflect what a customer is worth over time, not one basket.

  • Subscriptions tracked as their own goal
  • First and repeat order value read apart
  • Amazon Ads where your range sells there
What usually goes wrong

Where supplement accounts get stopped.

Most supplement accounts that struggle are not losing on bids. They are losing products, ads or the whole account to policy.

01

Health claims the rules do not allow

Promises to treat, cure or prevent a condition break Google's policies and, in the UK and EU, the rules on health claims for food supplements. A single page can lead to a Merchant Center misrepresentation suspension.

02

Ingredients on restricted lists

Google keeps a list of unapproved pharmaceuticals and supplements, and some ingredients are restricted by country. Products that contain them are disapproved, and advertising them can put the whole account at risk.

03

Audiences built on health conditions

Google's personalised advertising rules do not allow targeting based on health conditions, and Meta limits health-based targeting too. Audiences are built around products and purchases, never around the condition a product addresses.

04

Before and after creative

Before and after photos, body images and weight loss promises are restricted on Meta and Google. Creative that relies on them gets rejected or limited, so we test angles that sell on ingredients, routine, taste and format.

The first month

The first month, in order.

Policy and tracking first, because a suspended account cannot be optimised. Budget only grows once the catalogue is safe to advertise.

Week 1

Policy and tracking audit

Ads, feed and landing pages checked against health policies, and purchases checked against real orders.

Week 2

Fix claims and product data

Wording, titles and attributes corrected, and restricted products kept out of ads before they cause trouble.

Week 3

Build by need and ingredient

Shopping and Search grouped by margin and search intent, with brand kept apart.

Week 4

Scale what sells

Budget moved in measured steps, judged on first orders and repeat value.

Questions

Before you ask.

Can supplement brands advertise on Google Shopping?

Yes, most can, as long as products are not on Google's unapproved list and titles, descriptions and landing pages avoid claims the policies do not allow. We check the catalogue before campaigns go live, so problems are fixed before Google finds them.

Our Merchant Center account was suspended. Can you help?

Yes. We check the site and the account against the points Google's review looks at, including health claims, and fix what is wrong before requesting a review. Each failed review can make the wait before the next one longer, so the first request should be the right one.

Do you run Meta ads for supplements?

Yes, within Meta's rules on health products, which limit some targeting, imagery and claims. Creative is built to sell on ingredients, routine and format, and results are read against the store's own orders as well as Meta's reporting.

When is peak season for supplements?

Many brands see interest rise in January, when people start new routines, and again around Black Friday. Your own sales history matters more than the calendar, so budgets are planned from it and raised in measured steps.

Should we advertise on Amazon as well?

It depends on your range and margins. Amazon Ads reaches people who shop there by habit, but fees change the profit on every order. We compare both channels on profit and recommend where each product should be pushed.
