Paste the ad copy you are about to run. The checker flags what Google's and Meta's own policies rule out — and what they allow only with certification, 18+ targeting, a disclaimer or documented consent.

Before-and-after imagery
Matched: “before and after”
Google's Clickbait ads policy bans before-and-after images that promote significant alterations to the human body. Meta's Health and Wellness policy allows them for cosmetic procedures and surgeries when the ad is targeted 18+.
Write instead: On Google, show the clinician, the process or the facility. On Meta, keep the set unretouched, target 18+ and keep documented patient consent on file.
Google allows a guarantee only with a clear, easy-to-find refund policy, and bans an improbable result presented as the likely one. In healthcare a guaranteed medical outcome is also a trust problem, not just a policy one.
Write instead: Promise the process, not the result: a consultation, a plan, a timeline. If you do guarantee money back, publish the refund policy where it is easy to find.
Google bans unrealistic weight-loss claims tied to a time frame or to little effort. Meta bans promises of specific results within a set time without disclaimers or qualifiers.
Write instead: Give a range with context — “most patients see X over Y months, results vary” — or drop the number entirely.
In the US, Google lets ads and landing pages name prescription drugs; keyword-targeting those names needs certification, and online prescribing needs LegitScript plus Google certification. On Meta, a prescription-drug ad needs LegitScript, Meta's authorization, US, Canada or New Zealand targeting, 18+ and a consult-a-professional disclaimer.
Write instead: Keep drug names out of keyword targeting until you are certified, and on Meta sell the consultation rather than the medication.
Clinic ads get rejected for the same dozen reasons, and almost none of them are about how good the offer is. This checker reads your copy and marks the lines that Google's or Meta's own policy text rules out, plus the ones allowed only with certification, 18+ targeting, a disclaimer or documented consent.
Every finding links the official page behind it. For the full picture — who needs LegitScript, how audience and tracking limits work in healthcare, what each platform says about before-and-after — read the sourced reference: Google and Meta healthcare ad rules. Platforms change their policies, so re-check the linked page before a launch.
Copy is only half of the rejection problem, because the landing page is scrutinised too. In our measurement of 832 US dental practice websites, 74.2% had no price or financing wording and 41.6% took no online booking — the kind of gap that turns an approved ad into a wasted click.
Questions
Does this replace legal review?
No. It checks text against platform rules we verified on the official pages on 15 September 2026. It is marketing guidance, not legal or medical advice.
Where do the rules come from?
Google Ads, Meta, FDA and FTC pages. Each finding links the page it comes from, and the full sourced reference is our Google and Meta healthcare ad rules guide.
Is my ad copy stored anywhere?
No. The check runs in your browser, so the text is never sent to a server and nothing is logged or stored.
My ad was rejected and the checker finds nothing. What now?
Then the problem is usually the landing page, the account's certification status or the audience setup rather than the copy. That is what the free audit looks at.
