Build a weight-management brand with a clear offer, a dependable acquisition journey, and a useful view of customer economics. GLP-1 telehealth marketing, GLP-1 marketing, and medical weight loss marketing are the names for this work. I bring fractional CMO leadership to the work connecting your ads, website, creative, follow-up, and reporting.

Growth has to survive the handoff after the click.
A GLP-1 marketing campaign can generate interest without building a durable business. People still need to understand the service, what happens next, and how to move through the consultation process. The operating team needs to know which inquiries turn into qualified conversations and which acquisition channels support the economics. I work with founders to bring those decisions into one plan.
A decade of medical marketing experience, with telemedicine funnels, ads, and campaigns since 2020, informs how I approach the work.
FROM STRATEGY TO EXECUTION.
01
Clarify the service and offer
Start with what the business actually provides, where it operates, who it serves, and the steps a prospective customer will take. Review pricing presentation, consultation expectations, and the distinction between expressing interest and becoming a customer. Campaign claims and product eligibility are reviewed with the appropriate advisers before launch.
02
Build the acquisition journey
Connect the ad message to a focused landing page, a clear next action, and the appropriate CRM handoff. Map inquiry handling, response ownership, and follow-up. An appointment, a completed consultation, and a first purchase are separate milestones; the funnel should make those distinctions visible.
03
Develop and test creative
Build a creative plan around the offer, customer questions, and the brand’s supportable claims. Test concepts, formats, and landing-page alignment. Review performance by meaningful funnel stage so a cheap click or lead does not become the only definition of success.
04
Evaluate customer economics
Separate new customers from repeat buyers in reporting. Review acquisition cost, first-purchase value, retention, and fulfillment capacity before increasing spend. Document attribution windows and data gaps so the team can see which conclusions are supported.

Who this is for
For founders launching or improving a telehealth weight-management service who need a senior owner across strategy and execution. Engagements can work with an existing team or coordinate specialist partners.
Leadership close to execution
We agree on priorities, decision owners, and a review cadence. The scope can be a focused workstream or part of ongoing fractional CMO leadership.
EXPERIENCE YOU CAN EXAMINE
The work, with context.
My public results library shows the reporting discipline and campaign work behind this approach. It does not label unrelated healthcare or research-commerce results as GLP-1 outcomes.
I connect the offer, creative, advertising accounts, landing pages, CRM follow-up, and acquisition reporting. The priority depends on your bottleneck: getting qualified interest, converting that interest, or understanding what a new customer costs. We agree on the work I own and the work your team or specialist partners deliver, so strategy translates into an accountable execution plan.
Can you help launch a new GLP-1 telehealth brand?+
Yes. We start with your actual service, approved markets, pricing, consultation journey, and operating capacity. Then we map the website, account setup, creative, inquiry routing, and measurement needed for launch. Your clinical and legal team confirms care delivery and prescribing requirements; marketing readiness does not establish clinical readiness. An existing brand starts with its current funnel and performance baseline.
Can GLP-1 telehealth providers advertise on Google?+
Eligibility depends on the service, location, products, and destination. For US telemedicine providers facilitating prescribing, Google currently lists LegitScript certification and Google healthcare certification requirements. I review account and destination readiness before planning spend and coordinate unresolved requirements with your team. Certification is not a promise that every ad, claim, or product will be approved.
How do you approach GLP-1 ad creative and claims?+
I build briefs around the service, the consultation process, pricing clarity, and questions prospective customers actually ask. Each concept has a defined message, destination, and review owner. Your qualified advisers review treatment claims before publication. We assess each channel’s current requirements, then test permitted creative against downstream outcomes rather than judging a campaign only by clicks.
Track the steps separately: inquiry, qualified inquiry, booked consultation, attendance where available, and first purchase. Document where clinical intake begins and who owns each handoff. A low lead cost can hide poor qualification or missed consultations. I use the stage-by-stage view to identify whether the next improvement belongs in the ad, landing page, response process, or booking experience.
How do you separate new customers from refills and repeat purchases?+
Define a new customer as a first-time purchaser in the agreed source of truth, then distinguish subsequent transactions from that acquisition event. I connect campaign naming, CRM stages, revenue records, and attribution tools such as Wicked Reports where appropriate. Reports should state the date range, attribution model, cost basis, and matching limitations; blended revenue alone cannot tell you what it cost to acquire a new customer.
What is a good customer acquisition cost for a GLP-1 brand?+
Your allowable acquisition cost depends on collected revenue, contribution margin, retention, refunds, and the time you can afford to wait for payback. We establish a target from your economics and compare it with observed first-time customer acquisition. I do not turn a broader healthcare case study into a GLP-1 benchmark or promise the same CAC for every offer.
Yes. Organic work can cover service-page structure, useful buyer questions, internal links, technical crawlability, and conversion paths. Paid activity depends on channel eligibility and the economics of your offer. We give each channel a clear role and review its contribution separately, including email and organic search, so repeat business is not mistaken for newly acquired demand.
How much should we budget for GLP-1 marketing?+
Start with three separate budgets: marketing leadership and execution, media spend, and software or production requirements. My fractional CMO engagements are scoped in the $5,000–$10,000 monthly range. The proposal defines the included work and any separate costs. A media budget follows your allowable acquisition cost, testing needs, and service capacity; a universal spend recommendation would skip those decisions.
What happens first, and how soon can we expect results?+
The first phase reviews your offer, accounts, funnel, reporting, and operational handoffs. We prioritize the largest supported constraint, assign owners, and define what a useful test should show. Setup improvements can be verified as they are completed; acquisition performance needs sufficient delivery and conversion data. I agree on milestones and reporting with you rather than guaranteeing a launch date, patient volume, or ranking.
