PAID MEDIA

Paid media for health & telehealth brands

Meta, Google, and TikTok acquisition run by senior strategists who only work in health - so spend scales without tripping a policy landmine.

In shortAdBoost Health manages paid media across Meta, Google, and TikTok exclusively for health, telehealth, GLP-1, supplement, and wellness brands. Every account is structured for compliant scale - clean server-side attribution, tested creative, and spend bands that expand only as CAC holds - with partners averaging 24% lower CAC in the first 30 days.

What you get

  • 24% average CAC reduction in the first 30 days
  • Compliant account structure reviewed before every launch
  • Clean, server-side attribution so you scale on real numbers
  • Spend bands that expand only as efficiency holds

How it works

Account & tracking audit · wk 1–2

Audit ad accounts, LegitScript status, Conversions API coverage, event match quality, and the blended-vs-platform ROAS gap before touching spend. Map real CAC by condition - not the consultation CAC.

Structure & measurement build · wk 2–3

Consolidate campaigns for Advantage+/broad targeting, deploy CAPI with deduplication, set the attribution window, and stand up a blended-MER dashboard as the true-north metric.

Controlled scaling · wk 3–8

Scale winning audiences and creative while holding cold-audience frequency under 3.0; expand from Meta into branded/non-branded Search and retargeting only where CAC holds at or below vertical benchmark.

Incrementality & efficiency · ongoing

Run geo-holdout and conversion-lift tests to separate incremental spend from spend claiming credit for organic demand, then reallocate budget to what actually causes revenue.

What you receive

  • Full-funnel account restructure (Meta + Google Search + retargeting) with naming/UTM conventions
  • Conversions API / server-side tracking with event deduplication and EMQ monitoring
  • Blended MER + platform-ROAS reconciliation dashboard
  • CAC-by-condition model separating consultation CAC from paying-patient CAC
  • Weekly optimization cadence with documented kill/scale rules and frequency guardrails
  • Incrementality test plan (geo-holdout or conversion lift) with read-out schedule

Measured on: Blended MER / true CAC (bank-account math, not platform-claimed) · CAC payback against contribution margin · Incremental ROAS (holdout-verified), not platform-reported ROAS

Why it’s different in health

Consultation CAC is not patient CAC - and the gap is ~2×

Cost per booked telehealth visit runs 40–60% below cost per first prescription. Brands that budget against consultation CAC discover the real number the month they scale. We model fully-loaded paying-patient CAC per condition from day one.

Platform ROAS lies harder in health because the auction is thin

Meta overstates ROAS ~28% on average and blended platform inflation runs 30–40%. In restricted health verticals with fewer eligible advertisers, over-attribution compounds - a wide platform-vs-blended gap usually means you’re paying to reach demand that would convert anyway.

CAC by condition is not one number

ED runs ~$70–140 fully-loaded, hair loss ~$90–170 (but a 4–6 month results window stretches payback), and ADHD/mental health $200–400. A single blended target across conditions overspends on the hard ones and underspends on the easy ones.

By the numbersAdvertisers with the Meta Conversions API configured for web events saw an average 17.8% lower cost per result versus those without it. (Meta benchmark data)

FAQ

Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google (Search, PMax, YouTube), and TikTok - the three channels that carry the vast majority of health-brand acquisition. We weight the mix by vertical and compliance reality.

Setup takes 5 days. Most partners see directional CAC or ROAS movement within 2 weeks, and the full system compounds by day 31.

The fully-loaded cost per paying customer measured on blended MER (total revenue ÷ total spend), not the platform-reported number - which over-counts because multiple platforms claim the same conversion.
