Charlotte beauty & medspa businesses leave 60% of ad spend on the table
Your competitors are dominating Google Maps and paid search. We stop that, fast.
📍 Charlotte Market Insight: Charlotte's 62,000 SMBs are shifting spend away from organic social—but beauty & medspa owners haven't caught up. Most still rely entirely on Instagram while competitors capture 'near me' searches and Google Local Services ads. Your average competitor spends $3,400/month with zero strategy, which means there's massive opportunity for disciplined paid marketing. In Uptown and South End, the businesses winning are the ones showing up first in search and keeping their ads running year-round.
Charlotte Beauty & MedSpa Digital Landscape

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Charlotte's beauty & medspa sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're getting walk-ins and referrals, but growth has plateaued”
You're not visible in 'Botox near me' or 'facial in Charlotte' searches. Your competitors are. Google Maps and search are where 68% of local beauty & medspa buyers start—and you're invisible.
Lost $15,000–$40,000/month in bookings that went to competitors ranking above you
“You spend $3,400/month on ads but can't prove ROI”
Your ads are running on Instagram without a funnel, conversion tracking, or audience strategy. You're advertising to people scrolling, not people ready to book.
$2,500+/month in wasted spend; you've never measured a single booking back to an ad dollar
“Instagram followers grow, but booking calls don't increase”
Instagram is a visibility game, not a lead-generation engine for beauty & medspa. You need search ads + Google Maps + retargeting funnels, not more followers.
You're profitable at current volume, but capped. Scaling requires paid search—the channel your competitors are already winning on

Charlotte Beauty & MedSpa Success Stories
A 3-location medspa chain in South End, Charlotte offering injectables, laser, and med facials
Growing Instagram following month-over-month, but bookings were flat. Competitor across the street was dominating 'injectable near me' searches and Google Local Services. They were spending $4,200/month on ads with no funnel or conversion tracking.
- →Migrated 60% of budget from Instagram to Google Local Services Ads and Search, targeting high-intent keywords like 'Botox Charlotte South End' and service-specific terms
- →Implemented conversion tracking on booking calls and form submissions; discovered their best leads came from search (72% conversion vs. Instagram's 8%)
- →Built retargeting funnel to re-engage website visitors who didn't book within 7 days; stacked with SMS appointment reminders
“We were throwing money at Instagram and getting nothing. Within 3 months of working with Omakaase, we could see exactly which ads were filling chairs. By month 6, paid marketing was our second-biggest lead source. This team actually understands beauty & medspa.”
A dermatology-backed medical spa in Uptown offering advanced treatments (laser, injectables, skin tightening)
Relying 100% on walk-ins and patient referrals. No paid marketing presence. A new competitor opened 6 blocks away and immediately started advertising on Google Maps and search. Monthly bookings started declining. They needed to compete but had never run paid ads before.
- →Built Google Local Services Ads campaign from scratch, focusing on high-value treatments (laser hair removal, injectables, skin tightening) and targeting Uptown + surrounding neighborhoods
- →Created Google Search campaigns for competitive keywords and branded terms; bid aggressively on competitor keywords where they could win on price and positioning
- →Designed conversion-focused landing pages optimized for mobile booking and integrated with their scheduling system; tested 4 ad creatives per keyword group
“We were terrified of paid advertising—didn't understand it and thought it would be too expensive. Omakaase showed us it wasn't magic, just strategy and numbers. They turned on Local Services Ads and within 6 weeks we had more qualified leads than our referral pipeline. Game-changer.”
