For functional and integrative medicine clinics, nationwide

Functional and Integrative Medicine Marketing Agency

PELORA Marketing markets functional and integrative medicine clinics by being everywhere a patient looks in the weeks they research before booking: your practitioners on video, Google ads for people already searching, Meta ads that teach, and pages that answer patient questions in Google and AI answers. Then we follow up fast, so a patient who is ready books a consult instead of drifting to the next clinic. Every claim is written to the FTC's health claim rules and each platform's ad policies.

How do I market a functional medicine clinic?

Market the research window, not the click.

Functional and integrative patients compare practitioners for weeks. The clinic that wins is the one a patient keeps seeing, and trusts, the whole time. Four parts do that:

  • Be seen. Short videos of your practitioners explaining how they work, what a program involves and who it is for. Video is the creative for every channel below.
  • Be found. Google Search ads and pages for the problems you treat, written so Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can quote them.
  • Be remembered. Meta ads that teach rather than sell, shown to adults in your area.
  • Be fast. A CRM that answers every inquiry quickly, books discovery calls and stays in touch with patients who take weeks to decide.

What is the best way to advertise my medical practice?

For a functional or integrative practice: Google for people already searching, Meta for people who are not searching yet, and video as the creative for both.

Google Search catches intent: someone typing a symptom, a test or "functional medicine doctor near me". Meta reaches the people who will search later. Clinicians who teach on camera make the best creators, too: creator marketing for functional medicine.

Hormone and other prescription keywords need Google's approval before they run, so check them before you build: why Google rejects hormone keywords.

An empty consultation room with two armchairs, plants and evening light, the kind of space where a first visit happens.

Can functional medicine clinics run Google Ads?

Yes. Functional, integrative, hormone and longevity clinics advertise under Google's standard healthcare policies, with limits on prescription drugs and on specific claims.

Google asks advertisers to apply before they promote prescription drug services (Google's policy). It does not allow ads for most regenerative treatments (the treatments it names are examples, not the full list), which is a different buyer with its own page. We check every ad against the written policy before it goes in for review.

Already flagged? Start with why clinic Google Ads accounts get suspended, or run the free clinic ad risk check.

What is the controversy with functional medicine?

Critics question the evidence behind some functional medicine tests and treatments, and regulators act on health claims that go further than the evidence.

For your marketing that comes down to one rule: say only what you can support. The FTC expects health claims to rest on "competent and reliable scientific evidence" (FTC guidance). So we write about your approach, your credentials, what a visit involves and who you help, and we leave out cures and promised outcomes. The full rules: health ad rules for functional medicine.

What are the best healthcare marketing agencies?

For a functional or integrative clinic, the best one can prove it knows your ad rules, films your practitioners, and reports booked consults rather than clicks.

Ask any agency, including us:

  • Which ad policies apply to each service we offer?
  • Who films our practitioners, and how often?
  • Do we own the ad accounts and the website?
  • Do you report leads, or booked consults?
  • Can we see work for a clinic like ours?

We also publish agency rankings for other clinic types and leave ourselves off them: regenerative, GLP-1 and weight loss, TRT and men's health and med spa.

How much does a functional medicine marketing agency cost?

PELORA's monthly programs run from $3,500 to $50,000 a month, and most clients land on Growth at $5,500 a month.

Your ad spend is billed to you by Google and Meta, never marked up, and you own the ad accounts, creative, CRM and website. Setup is a one time fee on top of the first month.

The usual first step is the Audit and Game Plan, $1,500 one time: we go inside your ad accounts and tracking, check them against your sales, and hand you a written plan, walked through on one call. The fee comes off your setup if you sign within 30 days of that call. See every tier and what it includes.

Can you film our practitioners?

Yes. These are two interviews Preston filmed with functional medicine doctors.

What else do clinic owners ask?

Is functional medicine marketing different from integrative medicine marketing?

Functional and integrative medicine marketing run on the same system at PELORA, because the patients research the same way and often compare both. What changes is the language: integrative practices usually pair conventional care with complementary therapies, so their pages lead with that combination.

Do you work with functional medicine clinics outside California?

PELORA works with functional and integrative medicine clinics nationwide from Newport Beach, California. The work is done remotely, and filming happens where your practitioners are.

What does PELORA set up first for a functional medicine practice?

PELORA's setup for a functional medicine practice covers the ad account builds, tracking, review markup on your site and a first library of creative.

Can you get my clinic named in ChatGPT and Google's AI answers?

AI answers in ChatGPT and Google draw on pages that answer a question plainly and on what other sites say about you, and no agency can guarantee a citation. We build both: the answer pages on your site and the mentions elsewhere. How it works.

Do you also market hormone, peptide and longevity clinics?

PELORA markets hormone, peptide and longevity clinics alongside functional medicine, each with its own ad rules. Longevity clinic marketing.

Who owns the ad accounts and the website?

You own your ad accounts, creative, CRM and website, and Google and Meta bill your ad spend to you directly. PELORA never marks up ad spend.

How long is the contract?

PELORA's contract is three months minimum, then month to month with 30 days notice and no early termination fee.

What is the Audit and Game Plan?

The Audit and Game Plan is PELORA's paid first step, $1,500 one time. We go inside your ad accounts and tracking, check them against your sales, and hand you a written plan: what to fix first, which channels to keep and what to spend, walked through on one call.
