Frequently asked questions
What SAPC rules apply to pharmacy advertising in South Africa?▾
The South African Pharmacy Council restricts advertising of scheduled medicines, comparative pricing claims and promotional offers on prescription products. General services, wellness clinics and OTC categories may be advertised within the SAPC Code of Conduct.
Can I advertise prescription medicine pricing online?▾
No. Prescription (scheduled) medicine pricing cannot be advertised publicly. We help you market the wellness, clinic and OTC sides of your pharmacy compliantly.
How do independent pharmacies compete with Clicks and Dischem digitally?▾
By owning hyper-local search ('pharmacy near me' in your suburb), running a loyal WhatsApp script-refill list, and showcasing your in-store clinic and personalised service — none of which the chains do well.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?▾
No. All our retainer services are month-to-month with no lock-in. We earn your business every month through results, not contracts.
How soon will I see results from digital marketing?▾
Website launches and paid traffic deliver inquiries in days. SEO and content typically show meaningful movement at 60–90 days, with strong compounding gains from month 4 onward.
