Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) for Cosmetic Clinics

Most visitors to a cosmetic clinic hold back from booking because they fear looking overdone, not because of the price, so conversion work starts there.

Natural results shown beside the button, and a consultation request that asks for no personal story, let people take the first step.

Online challenges for cosmetic clinics

Hidden fees, vague timelines and weak buttons on mobile are the usual culprits, long before any elaborate testing is needed.

Before and after photos need context

A gallery convinces only when the viewer can tell what was done.

  • Each pair of photos names the treatment and the time between the pictures, and says that results differ from person to person.
  • The photos show your own patients, with their consent.

Booking a consultation is hard on a phone

This is a decision people take slowly, and they often come back to it on a phone in the evening.

  • A long form, or a booking tool that loses the chosen time, sends them elsewhere.
  • A short request for a consultation, with its price stated up front, is easier to finish.

Forms that ask visitors what they dislike about their face

Writing down a worry about one's own looks is hard, and a form that demands it before any contact loses many visitors.

  • A short request for a call or a consultation, with the details left for the doctor, is easier to send.
  • The fear of looking overdone stops more people than price, and the page rarely answers it near the button.

Conversion Optimisation approach for cosmetic clinics

For cosmetic clinics, we test one clear idea at a time on the pages where people are closest to getting in touch, state your limits more clearly and shorten the path for visitors who are ready to act.

The fear of looking overdone, answered beside the button

The doubt that stops most visitors is not the price but the worry of leaving with a face that is no longer theirs.

  • Next to the consultation button we place the doctor's own words on how much is too much, a note that a treatment can be refused or postponed, and the name and photo of the person they would meet.
  • A line stating that the consultation commits to nothing removes the suspicion of being sold to in the chair.

A request that takes one thumb and no confession

People hesitate to type their insecurities into a form they do not trust.

  • The form asks for a name, a way to reach the person and a preferred time. The description of the concern is optional and has a sentence beside it on who will read it.
  • The phone button and a message button sit side by side, because some patients will never call about this subject and others will never write.

Few visits, so we watch people and not percentages

A clinic site has too few visitors for quick statistical tests, and pretending otherwise leads to changes made on noise.

  • We watch recordings of real visits to see where people stop, compare a longer period before and after each change, and ask the reception what callers still do not understand.
  • One change is made at a time on the pages that lead to the dearest treatments, so that its effect on consultation requests can be told apart.

Conversion Optimisation process for cosmetic clinics

01

Where visitors stop

We look at where visitors leave and read the questions people ask by phone and email before they decide.

02

Doubts answered

We answer the main doubt next to the button and shorten the form or the booking path. For cosmetic clinics, the fear of looking overdone is answered beside the button, and the request takes one thumb and no description of the problem.

03

One change at a time

We change one thing at a time, because a small site has too few visits for quick tests.

04

Judging the result

We judge a change by the enquiries that follow, and undo it if it brings more enquiries of the wrong kind.

How we measure results for cosmetic clinics

We count consultation requests per treatment page and note what callers want to know at reception, because the numbers alone are too small to judge.

Questions about Conversion Optimisation for cosmetic clinics

Plain answers about Conversion Optimisation, written for cosmetic clinics.

On the path from a treatment page to a requested consultation, as seen on a phone.

  • We go through it as a patient would and note every place where a question stays unanswered: who treats, what the opening visit costs, what happens if I change my mind.
  • Those gaps on the clinic site are closed before anything is redesigned.

Showing a range and the price of the consultation helps almost always.

  • Visitors who see no price assume the worst or call only to ask, which costs the reception time.
  • Those who leave because of an honest range would seldom have booked.
  • A sentence on what the price includes, such as the follow-up visit, matters more than the figure.

Then the form became easier for everybody, bargain hunters included.

  • We keep it short and add one thing that sorts: the consultation fee stated beside the button, or a choice of concern in place of a free question about price.
  • The measure is consultations that took place, and by that measure fewer enquiries can be the better result.

Reviews do, when they are real and specific: a few words from a patient about how the doctor explained things and respected a refusal say more than a row of stars.

  • Awards and logos of device makers help less than clinics expect.
  • The strongest proof beside the button is still the name, face and qualification of the person who treats.
