Seoul Aesthetic Hong Kong: Aesthetic Clinic Marketing, Consultation Enquiries Up 4Γ
Meta Ads routed into WhatsApp consultation triage, high-intent Google Search campaigns and clinical social content for Seoul Aesthetic, a Hong Kong medical aesthetics clinic, measured in consultation enquiries, blended cost per lead, show-up rate and attributed return on ad spend.
The client
Seoul Aesthetic is a Hong Kong clinical medical aesthetics clinic offering Korean treatment protocols, including high-ticket energy-device treatments.
The problem
Earlier campaigns produced casual price enquiries rather than consultations for the clinic's high-ticket treatments. Competing clinics were taking the patients searching for exactly those treatments, and the clinic's social feeds did not show its clinical standards or certified protocols.
At the start the clinic received 42 consultation enquiries a month at HK$1,150 each, and 51% of booked patients attended.
What we did
- Meta Ads into WhatsApp triage. Reels and carousel ads testing pain-point creative against aspirational results creative, leading to a mobile assessment selector and a personal WhatsApp consultation with a clinic coordinator.
- Google Search for high intent. Campaigns on specific treatment searches, for people already close to booking.
- Clinical social content. Instagram feeds built around the clinic's certified Korean protocols, practitioner explainers and zero-downtime treatment logs.
- Trust-first messaging. Certified practitioners and genuine devices shown up front, and the local worry about hard selling addressed before the visit.
- Treatment bundles. Skin-booster and energy-device treatments presented together as one facial protocol, to lift first-visit value.
- Fast follow-up. The clinic's coordinators answer each enquiry within five minutes.
