Negative Keywords for Peptide Brands: The Complete 2026 List

Negative keywords serve two purposes in peptide brand Google Ads accounts: blocking irrelevant clicks and blocking queries that could trigger policy review. For peptide brands, the second is equally important — appearing on queries with strong medical intent signals to Google's review system that your account may be targeting prohibited healthcare searches.

Category 1: Medical Condition Terms

Any specific medical condition your compounds might be associated with must be in your negative keyword list: tendon injury, tendinitis, rotator cuff, SIBO, Crohn's, inflammatory bowel, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and any condition referenced in peptide research literature. Add as Exact and Phrase Match negatives across all campaigns.

Category 2: Pharmaceutical/Prescription Language

Prescription, prescription strength, FDA approved, clinically tested, clinical trial, doctor prescribed, medical grade, compounding pharmacy, and all variations. These terms signal pharmaceutical intent your ads cannot legally target without certification.

Category 3: Dosage and Protocol Language

Dose, dosage, injection protocol, how to inject, subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, reconstitute, bacteriostatic water, insulin syringe. These come from users who intend therapeutic use, not research.

Category 4: Intent Mismatches

Free, cheap, near me, local pharmacy, over the counter, without prescription. These protect against irrelevant traffic and wasted spend.

Category 5: Regulatory/Legal Queries

Legal, illegal, legal status, FDA ban, schedule, controlled substance, DEA. These indicate regulatory research, not purchase intent.

Implementation

Build a Shared Negative Keyword List and apply it to all campaigns. Review Search Terms report weekly. A mature peptide account will have 200–400+ negatives after 6 months.
