What you need to know about bariatric surgery marketing

Ad Policy

Weight-loss ads are the most tightly policed category

Both Google and Meta heavily restrict copy and visuals pointing at weight or body image; "lose Y kg" framing gets rejected outright. Compliant messaging focuses on health outcomes and process.

Patient Journey

The eligibility question is the funnel gate

BMI and comorbidity criteria are the patient’s first question; pages offering eligibility pre-assessment filter low-intent traffic and raise consultation quality.

Decision Journey

Decisions take months, not weeks

Bariatric decisions mature through support communities and patient stories; continuity and re-engagement beat one-off campaigns on cost per consultation.
