Your competitors are stealing your 'near me' searches right now
Manchester's Beauty & MedSpa businesses spend £2,800/month on digital—but 73% rely solely on Instagram. We fix that.
📍 Manchester Market Insight: Manchester's Beauty & MedSpa sector is highly reliant on Instagram and walk-in traffic, leaving a massive gap on Google Maps where high-intent clients search for treatments. The city's 75,000 SMBs are competing on social alone while competitors capture the 'near me' revenue. Paid marketing in this space isn't about vanity metrics—it's about filling your chair with clients actively ready to book. The agencies that dominate here combine Instagram retargeting with Google Maps ads and search campaigns to own the entire customer journey.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Manchester's beauty & medspa sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're spending heavily on Instagram but your booking rate hasn't moved in 6 months”
Instagram builds awareness; it doesn't capture high-intent searches. You're missing the clients actively searching for you on Google Maps and search.
Estimated £1,200–£2,100/month in wasted budget that could be generating qualified bookings instead of likes
“Your competitors appear first when clients search 'aesthetics Manchester' or 'laser hair removal near me'”
You have no SEO presence and aren't bidding on high-intent keywords. Google Maps and search ads require deliberate strategy—not just organic hope.
You're losing 30–50% of monthly booking enquiries to competitors who own those top positions
“You rely on walk-ins and referrals; scaling feels impossible without hiring more staff”
You lack a predictable, channel-diversified customer acquisition system. Referrals plateau; you need to own your audience across multiple paid channels.
Revenue growth capped at ~12% annually. Competitors with paid funnels are growing 40–60% year-on-year

Manchester Beauty & MedSpa Success Stories
A Northern Quarter-based premium aesthetic clinic with 4 treatment rooms
Strong Instagram following (12K) but only 2–3 bookings weekly. Competitors on Google Maps were capturing 'Botox Manchester' and 'facial near me' searches. Owner was frustrated with high Instagram spend generating awareness, not appointments.
- →Launched Google Local Services Ads + Google Search campaigns targeting high-intent keywords ('Botox Manchester', 'anti-wrinkle treatments', 'dermal fillers near me')
- →Rebuilt Instagram strategy into a retargeting funnel—awareness ads drove traffic to a booking-optimised landing page, not the website homepage
- →Implemented dynamic Google Maps ads to capture users searching within 2km of their Spinningfields location
“We were throwing money at Instagram with nothing to show for it. Within three months of launching the Google and retargeting strategy, our treatment rooms went from half-booked to fully booked four weeks out. The cost-per-booking is half what we were spending before, and we actually know where each client came from.”
A medSpa group with two Manchester locations (city centre and Stockport border) offering laser, injectables, and skincare
Competing against larger chains dominating Google Maps. Budget of £1,800/month was split across Instagram (£1,200) and some Google Search (£600), but no cohesive strategy. Walk-ins from local foot traffic were declining; owner felt trapped in a referral-only model.
- →Consolidated budget and shifted 45% to Google Maps Ads + search (laser removal, anti-aging treatments, skin rejuvenation near me)
- →Built separate Instagram funnels for each location—Northern Quarter and Stockport—with geo-targeted landing pages
- →Introduced YouTube pre-roll retargeting to capture users researching treatments before they search (5–7 day lookback window)
“We were fragmented—Instagram here, Google there, no real system. Omakaase pulled it all together and showed us we were leaving money on the table. Our team is no longer anxious about booking slots; we're actually turning people away or extending hours. The data-driven approach meant we could confidently increase spend because we knew the unit economics.”
