The practical answer
Start an IVF search campaign with an approved service, a relevant location and a clearly defined inquiry. Match the ad to a useful landing page, review health-related advertising restrictions, and confirm what the receiving team can support before increasing spend.
In practice
Separate different reasons for searching
Someone searching the clinic name, comparing IVF providers and looking for employment has a different goal. Organize the campaign around business-relevant service and location intent so budgets, copy and destinations can be reviewed coherently.
Build an exclusion list from actual irrelevant searches and operational constraints. Avoid applying blanket negatives so broadly that they block useful informational interest. Record the reason for each major exclusion and review it with the team responsible for the service.
In practice
Check healthcare policies before choosing audiences
Google restricts advertiser-curated audiences when promoting sensitive-interest categories, including health. A fertility campaign should not assume that visitor remarketing or customer-list targeting is permitted. Review the current policy for the exact product and targeting method. Google Ads: restricted targeting in personalized advertising.
Healthcare advertising eligibility also varies by subject and geography. Review the ad and destination together against Google’s healthcare policy and applicable requirements; account access or an approved past campaign is not a blanket approval for new copy. Google Ads: healthcare and medicines policy.
In practice
Make the destination fulfill the ad’s promise
- Use a heading that clearly identifies the promoted service and location.
- State who the practice serves and how to contact the correct team.
- Explain the request process without implying a guaranteed appointment or clinical result.
- Keep claims, costs and eligibility statements consistent with approved clinic information.
- Give mobile visitors a usable page and a recovery route if the form fails.
For example, an egg-freezing ad should not land on a generic page that leaves the visitor to discover whether the service is available. A focused page should answer the immediate question before asking for a request.
In practice
Define conversion quality before optimizing it
| Signal | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Button click | A visitor activated an interface control. |
| Accepted request | The intake system recorded a submission. |
| Useful inquiry | An authorized team classified the request using an agreed business definition. |
Document which signal bidding and reporting use. Do not send sensitive free text, treatment details or unreviewed CRM outcomes to advertising tools. Review data collection separately from whether an ad is allowed to run.
In practice
How much budget is enough?
There is no defensible universal monthly budget for every IVF clinic. Set an initial test around geography, service demand, operational capacity and acceptable business economics. Agree a spending limit, a review date and the evidence required before expansion. If inquiry quality is poor, investigate the query-to-page match before treating more traffic as the solution.
