Google Ads for Med Spas & Aesthetic Clinics in Canada

Why Google Ads works for med spas & aesthetic clinics

Aesthetic treatments are considered, visual purchases. Clients research results, providers and price before booking. Google Ads captures that high-intent research, while Meta Ads keeps you top of mind during the decision.

Ad policy limits

Google restricts ads promoting prescription drugs, which can include some injectable brand names.

Visual, considered purchases

Clients research results, reviews and pricing before booking.

Treatment value varies

A laser package is worth much more than a single facial.

Budget

How much can you pay per med spa lead?

Your maximum cost per lead comes from your own numbers, not an industry average. Here is the math we use before setting any budget.

Bid strategyMaximize conversions

Set a target cost per action $158.00

Recommended from your numbers: $900 profit per job × 35% of leads that become customers = $315 breakeven. We start around half of that.

Gross profit per job: $900
Leads that become customers: 35%
Breakeven cost per lead: $315
Starting Target CPA: $158

Example numbers only. We calculate yours from your real job values and close rate before launch.
