Google Ads for Cosmetic Clinics

Google Ads for cosmetic clinics builds campaigns around the concern a person has, since adverts may not name prescription medicines such as the best-known wrinkle injections.

The budget follows people searching for a consultation rather than the merely curious, and each advert opens the page where that consultation is booked.

Online challenges for cosmetic clinics

The usual leaks are major procedures and consultations for simpler treatments in one ad group and too few blocked searches.

Ad pages also hide licensed practitioners, discreet reviews and a clear consultation process, and we fix all that before raising budgets.

Each treatment is searched by name

People look for a named treatment, not for a clinic in general.

  • One page that lists every treatment answers none of those searches well.
  • A page per treatment says who it suits, how it is done, how long recovery takes and who performs it.

What the page says has to stay inside the rules

Advertising of medical and aesthetic treatments is regulated, and promising a result costs trust even where the law allows it.

  • We describe in plain words what a treatment does and what it cannot do.
  • Risks and aftercare are on the page, not kept for the consultation.

Adverts stopped for naming a prescription medicine

Clinics that advertise a product by its brand name find the advert stopped, because medicines on prescription cannot be advertised that way.

  • Searches from people training to give treatments, or simply curious, cost as much as those from future patients.
  • An advert about a concern such as redness that opens a general page wastes the click.

Google Ads approach for cosmetic clinics

For cosmetic clinics, we build Google Ads with a separate campaign for each kind of search, a weekly check of the search terms, and pages that show the same proof as the ad.

Campaigns by concern, with the medicine left unnamed

Google does not accept adverts that name prescription medicines in most countries, and that covers the best known wrinkle injections.

  • We write adverts, and pick their search words, around the concern and the kind of treatment, such as frown lines, lip volume or laser hair removal, and check every landing page for product names before it goes live.
  • Each group of treatments has its own campaign, so the budget for laser packages sold in autumn does not get spent on searches about fillers, and the other way round.

Paying for the consultation search, not the curiosity

Many people who type a treatment name are far from a decision, or are looking for a training course for themselves.

  • We exclude searches for courses and certificates for practitioners, wholesale products, home devices and creams, and celebrity gossip about procedures, and we read the real search terms every week.
  • Bids go up on searches that carry a city, a price or the word consultation, because those people are choosing a clinic and not just reading.

A page that books the consultation the advert offered

An advert about acne scars has to open a page about acne scars, with the doctor who treats them and the next free consultation.

  • The landing page states who performs the treatment, what the consultation costs and that no procedure is done on the first visit unless the doctor finds it suitable.
  • Booked consultations and calls are counted per campaign. We do not run adverts that follow people who looked at a treatment around the web, since Google restricts that kind of targeting for health and cosmetic treatments.

Google Ads process for cosmetic clinics

01

Searches worth paying for

We separate the searches that bring customers from those that only cost money.

02

Campaign build

We split the campaigns by service or offer and connect call, form and booking tracking before launch. For cosmetic clinics, the campaigns are organised by concern, such as lines or volume, with no prescription medicine named in any advert, and each one opens the consultation page.

03

Landing pages

Each advert opens a page about what it promised, with the way to call or book in view.

04

Tuning

In the first weeks we move the budget towards the searches and adverts that bring enquiries, and switch off the rest.

Price: Google Ads for cosmetic clinics costs €350 to set up and from €250 a month to manage, for ad budgets up to about €800 a month, plus VAT, three-month minimum. You pay Google directly; larger budgets are quoted.

How we measure results for cosmetic clinics

What counts is the cost of each consultation booked and attended, not clicks from people curious only about prices.

Questions about Google Ads for cosmetic clinics

Plain answers about Google Ads, written for cosmetic clinics.

First enquiries can come within days of the start, because the adverts run as soon as Google approves them.

  • Approval itself can take longer in this trade, as medical adverts are checked more closely.
  • Tuning the account takes the first weeks, while we see which treatments fill the consultation diary and which only attract readers.

It happens to most clinics at least once.

  • The usual causes are a product name in the advert or on the page, a promise of a result, or before and after pictures used as the main image.
  • We rewrite the wording, ask for a review and keep a list of terms that pass, so the same refusal does not come back with the next campaign.

Worth paying for are treatments with a name people search, a price that covers the click and room in the diary: laser series, skin treatments sold as a course, body contouring.

  • Small top-ups for regular patients rarely need an advert.
  • Treatments with a waiting list are paused, however well their adverts work.

A list of treatments you want more of, with the price of the consultation and the names and qualifications of the people who perform them.

  • We also need access to the booking system so that a booked consultation can be counted, and one person who approves medical wording quickly.
  • Photos of the clinic and the team are enough to begin with.

General questions about Google Ads, the same for every trade, are in our FAQ.
