Your Instagram followers aren't booking appointments
45,000 Marseille SMBs spend €2,200/mo on digital. Beauty & MedSpa businesses lose 60% of local search traffic to competitors dominating Google Maps.
📍 Marseille Market Insight: Marseille's beauty and medspa sector thrives on tourism and local foot traffic, but most practitioners rely entirely on Instagram and referrals—leaving their Google Maps profiles unoptimized and their paid search budgets untapped. Competitors in Vieux-Port and Euroméditerranée are already capturing the 'near me' searches you're missing. The market is shifting: clients now search before they walk through the door. Paid marketing isn't optional—it's the difference between scaling and staying flat.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Marseille's beauty & medspa sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're getting plenty of Instagram likes and followers, but appointment bookings aren't growing proportionally”
Instagram is a discovery and engagement platform, not a conversion channel. Without retargeting and paid search, you're missing clients at the moment they're ready to book—typically on Google Maps or search.
€1,800–€3,600 in lost monthly revenue per business (avg. 15–20 missed bookings at €120–€180 per service)
“Your competitors show up first when clients search 'dermatologist near me' or 'laser treatment Marseille'”
They're bidding on Google Local Services and running geo-targeted search campaigns. You're not present in paid search, so algorithmic visibility alone can't compete.
20–35% of your addressable local market goes to competitors before they ever consider you
“Your monthly marketing spend (€800–€1,500) feels scattered and unmeasured—you're not sure which channels actually drive clients”
Most Marseille beauty & medspa businesses optimize for vanity metrics (likes, follows) instead of business outcomes (cost per appointment, lifetime client value). Without attribution, budgets drift to low-ROI channels.
30–50% budget waste; no clarity on which €1 generates actual revenue
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.
Market & Competitor Audit
Week 1–2We map your local competitive landscape—specifically who's winning on Google Maps, which keywords they're bidding on, and where your gaps are. In Marseille's fragmented beauty market, this clarity is essential before you spend a single euro.
Competitive intelligence report with 5–7 competitor breakdowns, keyword opportunity gaps, and local market positioning map
Channel & Audience Strategy
Week 2–3We identify which paid channels (Google Local, Facebook, Instagram, Google Search) match your service mix and ideal client profile. A laser clinic in Euroméditerranée may prioritize Google Local; a skincare brand may lead with Instagram + Google Search.
Channel roadmap + audience personas + 90-day budget allocation framework
Campaign Setup & Optimization
Week 3–5We build and launch campaigns across your chosen channels with conversion tracking, geo-fencing to Marseille metro, and audience segmentation. Every ad is tested for messaging, creative, and landing page performance.
Live campaigns (Google Local Services, search, and/or social) with baseline performance dashboards and weekly optimization checklist
Continuous Testing & Refinement
Week 6 onwardsWe run A/B tests on ad copy, creative, landing pages, and audience segments. By week 6–8, we're already identifying which variations drop your cost per appointment and which to pause.
Weekly performance reports, test results, and tactical recommendations; monthly strategy review
Scale & Predictability
Month 3 onwardsOnce we've found your winning formula (e.g., 'Google Local + Instagram retargeting = €68 per appointment'), we scale budget to the most profitable channels and build systems to maintain consistency month-to-month.
Scalable campaign playbook, budget reallocation strategy, and quarterly business review with ROI projections
By month 3, you'll have predictable, measurable paid marketing channels driving consistent appointment bookings at a cost you control. You'll know exactly which euro spent generates a client, and you'll have a roadmap to scale without increasing your cost per acquisition.
Marseille Beauty & MedSpa Success Stories
A Marseille-based advanced skincare clinic in Vieux-Port offering laser treatments, chemical peels, and injectables
The clinic had strong Instagram engagement (2,200 followers) but was losing potential clients at the moment of highest intent—when they searched 'laser treatment Marseille' or 'dermatologist near me.' Monthly bookings were flat despite growing followers. They were spending €900/mo on ads without tracking or strategy.
- →Set up Google Local Services Ads with conversion tracking tied to appointment bookings (not just clicks)
- →Built and retargeted warm audiences from Instagram site visitors with search-intent Google ads highlighting specific services (laser, peels, injectables)
- →Created location-specific landing pages for each treatment type, optimized for mobile (75% of local searches)
“We were throwing budget at Instagram without knowing if it converted. Now we see exactly which channels bring clients, and our bookings are up 42%. The clarity alone was worth it—but the revenue increase is what we'll remember.”
An upscale medspa chain with two locations in Marseille (Euroméditerranée and Prado district) offering facials, body treatments, and wellness services
The medspa had competing franchises outbidding them for local search visibility. Walk-in traffic was declining as more clients booked online. They weren't present on Google Local Services, and their Facebook ads were generic and untargeted. Monthly spend was €1,400 with no measurable ROI.
- →Launched geo-fenced Google Local Services campaigns for both Marseille locations with service-specific ad variations (facials vs. body treatments vs. wellness packages)
- →Built Facebook + Instagram lead-gen campaigns targeting high-intent audiences (women 30–55, interest in wellness, previous beauty/spa searches) in the wider Marseille metro
- →Created a unified booking funnel: ad → landing page → online scheduler, reducing friction from interest to confirmed appointment
“We thought we needed to compete on price—turns out we needed to be visible when clients were searching. The Google Local Services setup was a game-changer. We're now the first result people see, and our repeat booking rate is up because we're staying in front of clients at the right time.”
