The Ultimate Social Media Plan for Med Spas and Wellness Clinics (With a CTA in Every Post)

Your Followers Don’t Book Because You’re Missing One Thing: Strategy

In the competitive world of med spas and wellness clinics, simply posting on social media won’t lead to patient bookings. It might garner likes and comments, but likes do not equal bookings.

The gap between social engagement and actual conversions is one of the biggest challenges wellness brands and med spas face today. Without a strategic social media plan, it’s easy to get lost in the noise of Instagram or Facebook, without making any real impact on your bottom line.

Likes ≠ Bookings

Many businesses fall into the trap of thinking that social media success equals popularity. But in reality, the goal is clear: conversions. If you’re posting without a focused strategy, you're missing out on the opportunity to turn those likes into tangible actions.

Social Strategy Needs to Support Your Revenue Goals

Your social media presence should directly contribute to patient acquisition and patient retention, not just act as an online billboard. It's about creating a strategy that aligns with your clinic’s revenue goals, turning passive engagement into active bookings.

What Egg Health Learned From Analyzing 200+ Clinic Accounts

Egg Health analyzed over 200 clinic accounts to uncover the strategies that actually convert followers into patients. The findings were clear: those that applied a focused content strategy with clear CTAs (calls-to-action) achieved higher conversion rates and saw better patient engagement than those posting without a clear strategy.

The Five Pillars of a High-Converting Med Spa Social Strategy

A successful healthcare social content strategy for med spas and wellness clinics needs to be built on five core pillars. These pillars provide a well-rounded approach to your social media efforts and will help you stay aligned with your goals.

1. Visual Authority — Before/After, Procedure Videos

Med spas are all about visual results. Posting before-and-after photos, procedure videos, and patient testimonials helps build your authority and gives potential clients confidence in your services.

• Why it works: Visual content showcases real results, which builds trust and credibility with your audience.

• What to post: Photos, short procedure videos, or transformations that highlight your clinic’s expertise.

2. Education — Bust Myths, Show Process

Patients want to feel educated before booking any treatment. Post content that explains your procedures, debunks common myths, and answers frequently asked questions.

• Why it works: Educated patients are more likely to book because they feel informed and comfortable with your services.

• What to post: "Did you know?" posts, myth-busting posts, or explanations of the benefits and process of treatments.

3. Proof — Testimonials, Reviews

Reviews and testimonials from real patients provide the social proof that potential clients need to take the next step.

• Why it works: Social proof builds trust and gives your audience confidence in your expertise.

• What to post: Video or written testimonials from satisfied patients, and customer reviews showcasing positive experiences.

4. Local Positioning — “#1 Filler Expert in [City]”

Show that your clinic is a local leader in your specialty. Positioning yourself as the go-to provider in your city builds your reputation and makes it clear to potential clients that they are choosing a trusted expert.

• Why it works: Local positioning increases visibility in searches like “Botox near me” or “lip filler experts in [City]”.

• What to post: Hashtags and captions that include your city, e.g., “#TopFillerExpertIn[City]”.

5. Offer — Promo, Limited-Time CTA

Promotions and limited-time offers create urgency and incentivize potential patients to take action now.

• Why it works: Urgency creates action. Offers can push hesitant patients to book sooner rather than later.

• What to post: Time-sensitive deals, new patient discounts, or flash sales with a strong CTA (call-to-action).

Post Types That Perform for Patient Acquisition

Certain types of posts drive patient bookings better than others. Focusing on the right formats will improve your social media conversion rates.

Carousel: “Top 3 Botox FAQs Answered”

Carousels are an engaging way to provide value-driven content while keeping your audience’s attention. For example, create a post that answers the top three Botox FAQs.

• Why it works: Carousels drive engagement by prompting users to swipe through multiple slides, increasing time spent on your post.

• What to post: Create slides with bite-sized answers, followed by a CTA: “Want to know more? DM us for a free consultation!”

Reels: “What Happens During a Filler Appointment”

Instagram Reels are a great way to show your personality and give potential patients a quick glimpse of what to expect.

• Why it works: Reels are highly engaging and favored by Instagram’s algorithm, meaning they get more visibility.

• What to post: Quick, behind-the-scenes clips of a filler appointment or a staff member explaining the procedure.

Stories: Countdown Timers, Polls, Appointment Openings

Instagram Stories provide real-time interaction with your audience. Use Stories for polls, countdowns, and opening appointment slots.

• Why it works: Stories are a great tool for urgent engagement, and the interactive elements help drive action.

• What to post: Countdown to an offer or event, polls on treatment interest, and real-time appointment openings.

Writing CTAs That Trigger Bookings

Every post should have a clear call-to-action. Whether it’s soft, hard, or location-based, CTAs guide potential patients towards booking an appointment.

Soft CTA: “DM Us For a Free Skin Consult”

A soft CTA is ideal for general engagement. It encourages followers to take the first step without the pressure of booking immediately.

• Example: “DM us for a free skin consult” or “Want to know more? Send us a message!”

Hard CTA: “Claim Your $30 New Patient Credit by Friday”

A hard CTA creates urgency and a sense of exclusivity. It’s often tied to a promotion or limited-time offer.

• Example: “Claim your $30 new patient credit by Friday, link in bio!”

Location-Based CTA: “Only for [City] Patients, Link in Bio”

Location-based CTAs target specific geographic areas, helping with local SEO and patient acquisition.

• Example: “Only for [City] patients, link in bio to book today!”

Posting for Local SEO Gains

Social media isn’t just about engagement, it can also boost local SEO. Here’s how you can optimize your posts for better local rankings and visibility.

Include Keywords: “Laser Hair Removal Austin”

Use local keywords in your captions and hashtags. For example, include terms like “laser hair removal Austin” or “Botox near me.”

• Why it works: It helps your posts appear in local searches, improving your practice’s online visibility.

Cross-Post to Google Business Profile (GBP)

Cross-posting to your Google Business Profile helps improve your search engine visibility and ensures patients find your clinic when they search.

• Why it works: It boosts your local search rankings and patient engagement across platforms.

Hashtag Strategy for Regional Discovery

Use a strategic hashtag approach to increase your reach, targeting local searches and patient discovery.

• Why it works: Hashtags help new patients discover your practice in their area.

• What to post: Use city-specific hashtags like #Botox[City] or #MedSpa[City] to target your local market.

Clinic-Specific Caption Templates to Reuse

Here are some reusable caption templates to make content creation quicker and easier. Customize these for your services and promotions.

[Service Name] + Benefit + CTA

Example: “HydraFacial = glow in 30 mins. DM us ‘GLOW’ to book.”

• Why it works: Simple, clear, and actionable with a benefit and CTA included.

FAQ-Style Captions

Example: “Is Botox safe? Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and safe when performed by a trained professional. DM us for a consultation.”

• Why it works: Answering common questions helps build trust and provides value.

Promo Captions: Urgency, Time-Limited

Example: “Last chance! 20% off lip fillers if booked by Friday. Don’t miss out!”

• Why it works: Promoting time-sensitive offers creates urgency.
