Your Instagram followers aren't filling appointment slots.
Denver beauty & medspa businesses spend $3,800/month on ads with no system. We make every pound and dollar work harder.
📍 Denver Market Insight: Denver's 68,000 SMBs are heavily concentrated in tech, outdoor, and healthcare—but beauty & medspa competes in a fragmented, Instagram-first landscape where Google Maps and local search remain untapped. Most Denver beauty businesses rely entirely on referrals and walk-ins, leaving paid channels underfunded or misaligned. Competitors dominating 'near me' searches are capturing the customers you're losing. The opportunity is immediate: strategic paid marketing on Google and Facebook/Instagram, built on SEO intent data, converts search traffic into high-margin bookings faster than organic alone.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Denver's beauty & medspa sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Instagram followers grow, but appointment bookings stay flat.”
You're building brand awareness on Instagram without capturing high-intent search traffic. Followers don't convert; searchers do. Denver competitors control Google Maps for 'near me' queries.
Lost $12,000–$24,000 annually per competitor dominating local search in your neighborhood.
“New customer acquisition relies almost entirely on referrals and walk-ins.”
No paid strategy bridges the gap between awareness and intent. Your $3,800/month ad budget (if spent) targets awareness only, not bottom-funnel search intent.
Capped growth at referral velocity; zero scalability during seasonal dips or competitive pressure.
“Ad spend isn't tracked to actual appointments or revenue.”
Instagram-only campaigns lack conversion tracking. You're optimizing for likes/impressions, not bookings. No attribution between ad spend and client lifetime value.
$1,200–$2,600 wasted monthly; inability to justify marketing ROI to stakeholders.
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 & Competitor Analysis
Week 1–2We map your current paid presence (Google, Instagram, Facebook) and reverse-engineer the 2–3 competitors dominating Denver Maps for your service keywords. We identify search volume, competitor ad spend, and booking intent gaps specific to your location (LoDo, RiNo, or surrounding neighborhoods).

Strategy & Channel Mix
Week 2–3Based on your service mix (injectables, laser, facials, etc.), we allocate your $2,000–$5,000/mo budget across Google Local Services Ads, Google Search, and Instagram/Facebook retargeting. Each channel targets a stage of intent: Google captures searchers ready to book; Instagram nurtures brand loyalty and upsell.
Monthly paid marketing roadmap with channel allocation, keyword themes, audience segments, and KPI targets (cost per lead, cost per booking, ROAS).
Setup & Conversion Tracking

Denver Beauty & MedSpa Success Stories
A Denver-based medspa in LoDo offering injectables, laser hair removal, and facials; 3-year-old business with strong Instagram (8K followers) but zero Google presence.
Instagram generated brand awareness but zero bookings. Two competitors dominated Google Maps for 'Botox Denver' and 'injectables near me,' capturing search traffic. Monthly ad spend was $2,400, all on Instagram. Owner had no visibility into which ads drove appointments.
- →Reallocated 60% of Instagram budget to Google Local Services Ads targeting high-intent keywords ('Botox Denver,' 'laser hair removal LoDo') with conversion tracking linked to their booking system.
- →Created 3 service-specific landing pages (injectables, laser, facials) with retargeting audiences from Google Ads searchers; Instagram budget repositioned to nurture and upsell past clients.
- →Established weekly optimization cadence: paused underperforming keywords, increased bids on keywords driving bookings under $75 cost per appointment, tested new audience segments.
“We were throwing money at Instagram and hoping. Now we can see exactly which ad brought in each client and how much they're worth. Google Local Services alone paid for the entire partnership in month three. We're scaling our injectables team based on predictable booking volume.”
A Denver beauty studio in RiNo Art District offering facials, threading, and waxing; established brand with 12K Instagram followers but heavy referral dependency; monthly ad spend: $1,800 (all Instagram).
Instagram engagement was strong but didn't translate to new client acquisition. 78% of new customers came from referrals; paid ads felt like brand-building, not sales. Owner couldn't justify scaling ad spend. Competitors in RiNo and nearby neighborhoods had better Google Maps visibility for 'waxing near me' and 'facial Denver.'
- →Shifted 50% of monthly budget to Google Ads (Search + Local Services) targeting 'facial near me Denver,' 'threading RiNo,' and 'waxing RiNo Art District' with location-specific landing pages; kept Instagram for brand and community engagement.
- →Built retargeting audience from Google Ads searchers (high intent) and website visitors; created service-specific Instagram ads (facials for summer, threading for spring) to nurture, not acquire.
- →Implemented booking system integration so every Google Ads click and Instagram click tied to actual appointment. Weekly reports showed cost per booking by channel and service.
“We were nervous about spending on Google because we thought people only booked us through friends. Turns out, people in RiNo actively search for facials and threading—they just didn't know we existed on Google Maps. Google Ads filled 40% of our new bookings in month 4. Our referral business didn't drop; we just added a new channel that actually scales.”
