Your Instagram budget isn't reaching new clients searching Google Maps
Bordeaux beauty & medspa businesses lose €18,000+ yearly to poor paid marketing. We fix that.
📍 Bordeaux Market Insight: Bordeaux's 32,000 SMBs spend an average of €2,400 monthly on digital marketing, yet beauty & medspa businesses cluster heavily on Instagram with zero Google Maps presence. This creates a visible gap: competitors dominate local 'near me' searches while you rely on walk-ins and referrals. The Darwin ecosystem and Saint-Pierre district attract affluent clients actively searching for treatments online—but your competitors capture them first. Paid marketing in this market isn't about vanity metrics; it's about converting high-intent local searches into bookings.
Bordeaux Beauty & MedSpa Digital Landscape

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Bordeaux's beauty & medspa sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're getting likes and followers but not enough new clients booking treatments”
Instagram is a brand awareness channel, not a conversion engine. Your audience sees you but doesn't know how to find you when they're ready to book. You're missing the moment they search 'laser hair removal near me' or 'medspa Bordeaux'.
€2,400+ monthly marketing spend generates 3–5 quality leads instead of 15–20. You're spending 4–5x more per booking than data-driven competitors.
“Competitors appear at the top of Google Maps; you don't”
Google Maps visibility requires paid ads (Google Local Services) + optimized business profile + review velocity. Most Bordeaux beauty businesses skip this entirely, leaving high-intent searchers to click competitors.
You lose an estimated €8,000–€12,000 in monthly revenue from clients who never see your business when searching locally.
“Word-of-mouth and walk-ins are your only consistent lead source”
You're not targeting the 70% of clients researching online before visiting. Your paid strategy (if any) doesn't segment by buyer intent—brand awareness vs. conversion—so you're not reaching people ready to book.
Your growth ceiling is referral speed, not market size. Scaling to €5,000–€8,000 monthly revenue requires paid marketing leverage you currently lack.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit Your Current Spend
Week 1–2We analyze every euro you're currently spending—Instagram ads, Google, Facebook, TikTok—and measure what's actually converting to bookings. For most Bordeaux beauty businesses, we discover 40–60% of budget is wasted on awareness channels when conversion budget is starved.
Detailed spend breakdown, channel-by-channel ROI report, and 3–5 quick wins you can implement immediately.
Map Your Buyer Journey
Week 2–3Beauty & medspa clients follow a specific path: search → research → book → return. We identify where your ideal Bordeaux client (e.g., affluent 35–55-year-old in Saint-Pierre or Darwin) enters and exits. Then we build paid messaging and channel strategy around that journey.
Buyer persona document, journey map, and recommended channel mix (Google Ads, Local Services, Instagram, retargeting).
Build Your Conversion Stack
Week 3–4We set up Google Local Services Ads (to dominate 'near me' searches), Google Search campaigns (for high-intent keywords), and Facebook/Instagram retargeting (to convert browsers into bookers). Each channel is configured to track booking conversions, not just clicks.
Live campaigns across all channels, conversion tracking via UTM codes and CRM integration, and daily optimization framework.
Optimize by Booking Cost
Week 4 onwardWe don't optimize for impressions, clicks, or engagement. We optimize for cost-per-booking and ROAS. Weekly analysis of which audiences, keywords, and creative drive the highest-quality bookings. Budget is automatically reallocated to top performers.
Weekly performance dashboard, spend reallocation memos, and monthly strategy review.
Scale Profitably
Month 2 onwardOnce we've found your efficient booking cost (e.g., €48 per booking instead of €125), we increase budget strategically across winning channels and audiences. Your growth is now data-driven and repeatable, not dependent on referral luck.
Monthly scaling roadmap, forecast for revenue growth, and quarterly strategy adjustments.
Within 90 days, your paid marketing generates 2–3x more bookings at half the current cost per lead. Within 6 months, you dominate local search in Bordeaux, reduce reliance on referrals, and scale predictably.
Bordeaux Beauty & MedSpa Success Stories
A multi-location beauty & medspa business with two clinics in Bordeaux (one in Saint-Pierre, one in Darwin), offering laser treatments, facials, and injectables.
Spent €3,200/month across Instagram ads and Google Search (poorly configured). Generated 8–10 bookings monthly at €320–€400 per booking. Competitors ranked higher on Google Maps despite smaller marketing budgets. Owner knew Instagram alone wasn't scalable but didn't know where to shift budget.
- →Migrated 40% of Instagram budget to Google Local Services Ads targeting 'laser hair removal Bordeaux' and 'medspa near me'—high-intent keywords competitors ignored.
- →Rebuilt Google Search campaigns with location extensions and booking-optimized landing pages for each treatment type and clinic location.
- →Created audience segmentation: top-of-funnel (awareness) for Instagram, mid-funnel (consideration) for YouTube retargeting, bottom-funnel (conversion) for Google Local Services and Search.
“We thought we needed to spend more on Instagram. Turns out we were in the wrong channel entirely. Google Local Services changed everything—our clinics now appear when people are actively searching. The data was staring us in the face; we just needed someone to read it.”
A single-location aesthetic medspa in Saint-Pierre specializing in anti-aging treatments and wellness services, struggling to grow beyond referrals.
€2,400/month budget split 60% Instagram, 40% random Google ads. No Google Maps presence (business profile unoptimized). Generated 6–8 bookings monthly, heavily dependent on one dermatologist's referral network. Ceiling was evident: business couldn't grow faster than referral speed allowed.
- →Optimized Google Business Profile (photos, services, reviews process) and launched Google Local Services Ads to dominate 'aesthetic medspa Bordeaux' and 'anti-aging treatments near me'.
- →Developed Facebook/Instagram carousel ads segmented by service (anti-aging, wellness, laser) and audience (35–55 female, affluent districts), designed to educate, not hard-sell.
- →Implemented CRM tracking to measure which channels drove the highest lifetime-value clients (repeat bookings, higher spend per visit).
“Paid marketing felt risky at first—like throwing money at Facebook. But once we saw the booking cost drop and new faces in the clinic, it made sense. We're no longer waiting for referrals. We're pulling new clients directly when they're looking for us.”
