About the Client
Our client is a well-known medical spa in California that offers skincare, anti-aging, and wellness treatments. Their main goal was to boost bookings and phone inquiries in February by reaching people nearby.
To help them reach this goal, our digital marketing company in the Philippines transformed Meta Ads as a sales channel.
Challenges in Driving High-Intent Actions
The campaign had to be both cost-effective and deliver clear results. With a $560 budget for February, our challenge was to reach as many potential customers as possible. Industry benchmarks show a 1.81% click-through rate for beauty and personal care, so we aimed to drive enough clicks to meet our goals.
Also, the med spa required precise audience targeting to maximize conversion potential. For this reason, the team needed a refined Meta Ads management strategy to ensure relevance. Another challenge that may arise involves audience fatigue. Without proper segmentation and retargeting, repeated exposure can reduce engagement rates over time.

Opportunities Found in Audience Targeting
Even with these challenges, the campaign gave us a great chance to use hyper-local targeting. We showed ads only within a 20-mile radius of Los Alamitos, California, to make sure they reached the right people and avoided wasted impressions.
We also targeted people aged 25 to 60, of any gender, who might be interested in the spa’s services, such as anti-aging and skincare. We used interest-based targeting for topics like skincare, wellness, beauty brands, and fitness, so the ads would reach people already interested in these areas.
We also used retargeting strategies to reconnect with potential customers who interacted with the spa in the past 150 days:
- Website visitors
- Facebook page engagers
- Instagram page engagers
Optimized Meta Ads Strategies
To amplify marketing strategies within budget, our Facebook ad agency in the Philippines implemented structured Meta Ads management:
Audience Segmentation
Market segmentation can increase conversion rates by 50%. So, we launched two campaigns: one for a specific audience and one for a broader group interested in the client’s services. This helped us reach both high-intent users and new prospects, making sure our ads matched what people were looking for.

Retargeting Strategy
