Problems we solve

Timeline
Week 1-2: Treatment audit and campaign structure
Map all treatments offered. Calculate profit margin per treatment type. Prioritise high margin treatments for ad spend. Build treatment specific landing pages. Research keywords and pricing strategies used by competitors.
Week 3-4: Launch and enquiry quality assessment
Campaigns live. First enquiries arrive. Assess enquiry quality (price shoppers vs quality focused, consultation booking rate, treatment interest level). Adjust pricing transparency and targeting if wrong patient types arriving.
Week 5-8: Optimise treatment mix and track conversions

Cosmetic clinic examples
Consultations booked from treatment specific campaigns
Focused on anti-wrinkle and filler campaigns. Added price ranges to landing pages which reduced enquiry volume by 30% but increased booking rate from 38% to 61%. Implemented consultation deposit after week 4.
Cost per booked consultation
Higher cost per consultation than medical clinics but treatment values $800-$2,400. Consultation to treatment conversion 73% for injectable enquiries. Laser treatments lower at 52% conversion.
Results vary by treatments offered, pricing, location, competition, and consultation to treatment conversion rates.
Common questions
Can we show before and after photos in ads?
No. AHPRA and TGA prohibit before/after photos in paid advertising including Google Ads. They can be shown on your website (with appropriate disclaimers) but not in ad creative. We focus on positioning and expertise instead.
How do we reduce price shoppers?
Transparent pricing in ads and landing pages. State price ranges. Emphasize experience and natural results over price. Target specific treatment keywords rather than generic "cheap botox" searches. Accept higher cost per enquiry for better quality.
Should we offer free consultations?
Marketing answer: depends on local competition and no-show rates. Free consultations generate more enquiries but attract time wasters. Paid consultations (redeemable on treatment) filter quality and reduce no-shows. We can market either model.
What budget do cosmetic clinics need?
Minimum $3,000-$4,000 per month in ad spend due to high competition for cosmetic keywords. Service fee from $1,800/month. Higher budgets ($5,000-$8,000) allow testing multiple treatment campaigns simultaneously.
