Get More Speech Therapy Patients with Google Ads in Dubai
Speech therapy at home ads in Dubai: separate child and adult campaigns, Google's under-18 and disability rules, DHA home care rules, keywords and follow-up.
Speech therapy at home has two very different audiences: parents of children with speech or language delay, and families of adults recovering from a stroke or living with a neurological condition. Run them as separate campaigns. Both are restricted on Google: users under 18 cannot be targeted with personalised ads, and disability-related topics are sensitive even when the ad is aimed at a caretaker. So win on keywords and a clear page. DHA's home healthcare standard lists speech therapists and speech and language pathologists in the home care team and speech therapy as a rehabilitation need, after physician referral and assessment.

What people in the UAE search for
- Children: "speech therapist for child dubai", "speech delay therapy", "speech therapy at home for kids", "autism speech therapy".
- Adults: "speech therapy after stroke", "aphasia therapy dubai", "swallowing therapy at home", "speech therapy for parkinson's".
- Format: "online speech therapy", "speech therapist home visit".
- Languages: "arabic speech therapist", "bilingual speech therapy". Families search for the language spoken at home.
What your ads can and cannot say
- Who can deliver it. DHA's Standards for Home Healthcare Services (effective 19 February 2025) list the speech therapist or speech and language pathologist as part of the home care team, and speech therapy among the rehabilitation needs that qualify a patient. All professionals must be DHA-licensed, patients are physician-referred and homebound or semi-homebound, and a physician assesses face to face first. A child who can attend a clinic may be better served there; say which you offer.
- Titles. DHA's advertising standard bars titles that differ from the licence. Use the therapist's DHA title exactly.
- No outcome promises. "Your child will talk in 8 weeks" or "cure stuttering" are guaranteed outcomes that DHA and Google's unreliable claims policy reject.
- Children and disability. Google's health in personalised advertising policy says users under 18 are not eligible for personalised ads, and covers disabilities "even when content is oriented toward the user's primary caretaker", using support for an autistic child as its example. DHA requires verifiable parental consent before using a child's information.

Campaign structure
- Children's campaign: speech delay, language delay, autism-related therapy terms. Ads speak to parents. Keywords and location only.
- Adults' campaign: stroke, aphasia, swallowing, neurological conditions. Ads speak to spouses and adult children; consider an overseas campaign for families abroad (see reaching families abroad).
- Language ad groups: Arabic, bilingual or other languages your therapists genuinely deliver in. Arabic ads must be written in Arabic.
- Referrers: paediatricians, neurologists, stroke units and rehabilitation teams.
- Conversions: assessment booked, then a therapy block started.
Landing page and WhatsApp follow-up
- Who you help: children and adults, conditions treated, languages.
- The therapists: names, DHA titles, qualifications.
- How it starts: referral, physician and therapist assessment, goals agreed with the family.
- Prices: assessment and per session or block, with conditions; insurance where it applies.
- Online sessions: DHA's standard allows telehealth to complement in-person visits.
Share progress with the family and the referring doctor after each block, with consent. Book the next block before the current one ends.

Frequently asked questions
Can I target parents of children with speech delay on Google Ads?
Only through keywords and location. Users under 18 cannot get personalised ads, and Google treats disability topics as sensitive even when the ad targets a caretaker.
Is speech therapy covered by DHA's home healthcare standard?
Yes. It lists speech therapy as a rehabilitation need and speech therapists or speech and language pathologists in the home care team, for physician-referred, homebound or semi-homebound patients.
Can I promise results in speech therapy ads?
No. Timelines and cures are guaranteed outcomes that DHA and Google reject. Offer an assessment and explain how progress is measured.
Should I run separate campaigns for children and adults?
Yes. Keywords, buyers and landing pages differ, and separate campaigns let you control budgets and copy for each.
