Your beauty business deserves better than Instagram alone.
26,000 Nottingham SMBs are spending £1,900/month on marketing. Most see zero ROI. We make every pound and dollar work harder—starting with paid ads that actually convert.
📍 Nottingham Market Insight: Nottingham's beauty and medspa sector is Instagram-dependent but Google-invisible. Competitors dominate 'near me' searches while you chase followers. The market demand is rising—search for beauty treatments in Nottingham is up 18% YoY—but most local practitioners aren't capturing it. Paid marketing isn't luxury here; it's survival.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Nottingham's beauty & medspa sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're getting plenty of Instagram likes but bookings aren't moving.”
Instagram is a discovery channel, not a conversion engine. Without search ads, you're invisible when customers actively seek 'Botox near me' or 'facials in Nottingham city centre'.
Average beauty business loses £4,200/month in addressable demand to competitors ranking on Google Maps.
“Most new clients come from word-of-mouth or direct walk-ins.”
You're not bidding on high-intent keywords. Paid search captures the 62% of beauty seekers actively searching online right now.
Your referral network is capped; scaling to £15k+/month revenue requires paid channels.
“You've tried Facebook ads before but they felt wasteful or unclear.”
Most agencies run broad-audience awareness campaigns for beauty. You need audience layering, keyword+intent targeting, and conversion-focused creative.
Without precision, CPL balloons from £45 to £180+, making paid feel inefficient.
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 & Map Intent
Week 1–2We spend the first two weeks understanding your current digital footprint—Instagram, website, Google My Business, competitor ads. For Nottingham beauty businesses, we map the exact search terms locals use ('HydraFacial Lace Market', 'luxury spa near city centre') and where your competitors are bidding.
Competitive Intent Report + Keyword Opportunity Audit (20–30 high-intent keywords specific to your service area)
Strategy & Creative Design
Week 3–4Based on intent data, we design a multi-channel paid strategy: Google Search Ads targeting 'near me' and branded queries, Instagram/Meta for retargeting and nurture, optional YouTube for premium service education. We create conversion-focused landing pages and ad creative that speaks to Nottingham's affluent beauty-conscious audience.
Paid Marketing Strategy Deck + 3 landing page templates + 12 ad creative variations (headlines, copy, visuals)
Campaign Launch & Optimization
Week 5–6We go live with Google Search Ads targeting high-intent keywords, Meta ads driving retargeting, and structured experiments (bid strategies, audience segments, creative tests). Daily monitoring ensures spend is flowing to your best-performing channels.
Live campaigns across 2–3 channels + weekly performance dashboard + first optimization report
Conversion & Landing Page Tuning
Week 7–10Clicks mean nothing without conversions. We A/B test landing pages, call-to-action copy, booking flows, and even your confirmation messaging to remove friction between 'interested' and 'booked appointment'.
A/B test results + revised landing pages + booking flow optimization report + conversion lift data
Scaling & Handoff
Week 11–12Once we've found your efficient CPL and proven ROAS, we scale the best-performing campaigns, expand to new keywords and audiences, and hand over a repeatable playbook. Optional: ongoing management retainer (£900–£3,500/mo) or we transition you to an in-house team.
Scaling roadmap + campaign templates + team training + 90-day performance forecast
After 12 weeks, you'll have a paid marketing engine generating qualified bookings at a predictable cost. Most clients see CPL drop 40–60% and bookings increase 3–5x within 90 days. You'll own the playbook, understand your unit economics, and be positioned to scale sustainably beyond Instagram.
Nottingham Beauty & MedSpa Success Stories
A Nottingham city centre medspa clinic offering advanced injectables, lasers, and treatments—established 3 years, £35k/month revenue, 60% Instagram followers, minimal paid ad experience.
Competitors with larger budgets dominated Google Maps for 'Botox Nottingham' and 'anti-aging treatments near me'. The clinic had a loyal following but was missing high-intent searchers actively booking. Ad spend previously attempted on Facebook yielded unclear ROI and high CPL (£210+).
- →Built Google Search campaign targeting 18 high-intent keywords: 'Botox city centre Nottingham', 'lip filler near me', 'anti-wrinkle treatments Lace Market', with location and service-specific ad copy.
- →Redesigned landing pages per treatment (injectables, laser, skin health) with clear value prop, before/after gallery, staff credentials, and direct booking buttons; reduced form friction.
- →Layered Meta retargeting to Instagram followers + lookalike audiences; used video testimonials and treatment process clips to drive nurture and reduce ad fatigue.
“We were spending £1,500/month on ads with nothing to show for it. Omakaase understood our clients—affluent Nottingham professionals—and spoke to them where they were searching. The CPL dropped instantly, but the real win was we could finally say 'we're profitable on paid.' We've scaled it to £4k/month spend now and every penny works.”
A premium beauty salon in Lace Market offering bespoke facials, peels, and wellness services—2 years old, £18k/month revenue, strong Instagram presence but zero Google visibility, ad-averse (previous bad experience with generic Facebook ads).
New salon in competitive area. Walk-ins and Instagram DM inquiries were inconsistent. Competitors older and better-known were bidding on 'facial Nottingham' and 'skincare near me'. Owner reluctant to pay for ads again after wasted spend; believed organic and referral was 'the way'.
- →Convinced owner with a 2-week Google Search pilot (£200 budget) targeting 'HydraFacial Lace Market', 'luxury facial Nottingham', 'skincare treatment city centre'—high-intent, low-volume, premium positioning.
- →Created bespoke landing pages for each service bundle (signature facial, peels, wellness packages) with salon ambiance photography, therapist bios, and 'book now' CTAs; removed friction.
- →Tested Instagram carousel ads showing before/after transformations and client testimonials; kept Meta spend lean (£400/mo) and used it for retargeting website visitors and Instagram followers.
“I was convinced paid ads were for big brands, not boutique salons. Omakaase showed me the data—locals in Lace Market and Nottingham city centre were searching for exactly what we offer. The pilot was so efficient I went all-in. Now half my bookings come from Google, and I'm not dependent on Instagram's algorithm. It's changed everything.”
