Ketamine clinic advertising and marketing

Ketamine & Psychedelic Therapy Clinics

Ketamine infusion, Spravato, and emerging psychedelic-assisted therapy. Real demand, a narrow advertising surface, and a category where the wrong ad gets the clinic's whole account disabled.

Where this category loses

Ketamine is a prescription drug being advertised off-label. Naming it as a product, promising outcomes for depression, or using patient testimonials trips prescription-drug and health-claims rules. Psychedelic substances beyond ketamine cannot be advertised at all.

Creative and page rules

What clears review for ketamine clinics.

Do

  • Clinic, provider and treatment-path positioning
  • "Ketamine therapy near me" and consultation intent
  • Candidacy language on the landing page
  • A referral program built alongside paid

Don't

  • Ketamine as a product
  • Outcome claims for depression or anxiety
  • Patient testimonials that imply results
  • Psilocybin, MDMA or any scheduled substance in an ad

Policy reality

What each platform allows for ketamine clinics.

Positions are the same cells as the Policy Tracker, with how we run each platform for this category underneath. Where a cell names a certification it is LegitScript, the third-party certification Meta and Google require before a pharmacy or telehealth provider can advertise prescription drugs, unless the cell says otherwise.

What we run

The playbook for ketamine clinics.

To a compliant channel plan
5 days
Consults attributed to source
100%
Outcome claims in creative
0

Set at kickoff, reported against weekly, measured by the tracking we install in week one.

Search on consultation intent
"Ketamine therapy near me" and clinic-intent queries, with landing pages that describe the treatment path and candidacy rather than promising outcomes.
Referral and provider channels
Psychiatrists and therapists refer treatment-resistant patients. We build the referral program that compounds under the paid engine, because paid alone is capped in this category.
Compliance-safe tracking
Nothing about the condition leaves the server. Consults attributed by source so referral and paid can be compared honestly.

Ketamine clinics questions

What clinics ask us first.

Can we advertise ketamine treatment on Google?

Clinic and consultation intent, yes. Keyword bidding on the drug itself and any outcome claims for depression or anxiety run into the healthcare and medicines policy. The campaign is built around the clinic, the treatment path, and candidacy.

Why is paid capped in this category?

Because the platforms restrict the product and the claims, the reachable audience through paid is smaller than the demand. Provider referral, organic search, and email carry more of the load than in most healthcare categories, which is why the plan includes them from day one.
