The problem

Pharmacy is one of the most tightly controlled areas in paid media.

Challenge 01

Certification comes first

Google and Meta both require online pharmacies to be certified before they can advertise, and applications take time.

Challenge 02

Prescription medicines can’t be advertised

UK law bans advertising prescription-only medicines to the public, so campaigns have to be built around services, not drug names.

Challenge 03

Local and online at once

Many pharmacies need footfall for walk-in services and online orders for products, with different goals for each.

How we run it

Campaigns built around your services, your stock and the rules.

01

Certification and policy checks

We help you through Google certification and check keywords, ads and landing pages against current policy before anything goes live.

Do we need certification to run Google Ads?

Online pharmacies need Google certification before they can advertise, and you must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council. We help you prepare the application and set up campaigns once it is approved.

Can we advertise weight loss injections?

Not by name. Prescription-only medicines can’t be advertised to the public in the UK, and regulators have been strict about weight loss services. We can promote consultations within the rules and you approve the wording.

Can we advertise flu jabs and travel vaccinations?

Yes. Pharmacy services are some of the most effective things to advertise locally, especially when budgets rise ahead of flu season and peak travel months.

Do you work with independent pharmacies?

Yes. We work with independents, small groups and online pharmacies. Independents often do best with tight local search and service campaigns.

Can you run Shopping ads for our products?

Yes, for over-the-counter medicines and health products that meet Google’s rules. We set up and maintain the product feed.
