Legitscript

LegitScript is a third-party certification company that Google and other major advertising platforms recognize for verifying healthcare businesses, online pharmacies, telemedicine providers, addiction treatment centers, and CBD companies. If you’re advertising in these regulated industries, Google Ads requires LegitScript certification before your ads will run, period.

The certification process involves submitting business licenses, professional certifications, facility documentation, proof of insurance, and detailed information about your operations and compliance procedures. Annual renewal is required, and each domain must be certified separately. Without LegitScript certification, your healthcare ads won’t be served at all.

Example: A newly launched online medical platform tries to run Google Ads but discovers all their campaigns are immediately disapproved with a message requiring LegitScript certification before any ads can serve.
