Most medspas track CPL and forget the funnel decay: no-shows + close rate + retention. See the true cost per paid patient + ROAS adjusted for reality.
The 5-criteria rubric I use to score every medspa ad before launch + the 60-second auto-response flow that cuts CPA 30-40%. PDF straight to your inbox.
Pull last 30 days from Meta Ads Manager (Spend column + Leads column).
Booked rate (Meta lead → confirmed appt), show-up rate, close rate. These come from your PMS, not Meta.
Funnel-adjusted CPA + ROAS at first-visit AND at LTV. Plus what AI auto-response recovers.
Healthy CPL (cost per lead): $25-$45. Cost per booked appointment: $80-$150. Cost per paying patient: $200-$400. Cost per LTV-paying patient (3+ visits): $400-$800. Below $25 CPL = likely low quality. Above $60 CPL = creative or targeting problem.
If your Meta lead-to-booked rate is 60% and your booked-to-show rate is 75%, your real cost per show is CPL ÷ 45%. Most medspas advertise their CPL and forget the funnel decay. A $30 CPL becomes a $67 cost-per-show.
Industry data: 35-55% for medspas on Meta Lead Ads, 20-35% for click-to-landing-page traffic. Best-in-class with auto-response in <60 sec hits 65-75%. The single biggest lever is speed-to-lead — that's what the speed-to-lead calculator quantifies.
Both. Meta Lead Ads have 2-3x higher fill rate (form fills) but lower intent (no website visit). Click-to-LP has higher per-lead value but lower volume. Run both, attribute separately, double down on whichever converts cheaper to PAID patient (not just booked).
In 2026, creative drives 70%+ of Meta performance. Targeting is commoditized (interest + demo + lookalike are easy). Creative is the moat. UGC-style before/after videos, founder selfie ads, real injector talking-head — these outperform polished agency creative 3-5x.
Campaign 1: Free consultation offer ($0 commitment) — high volume, lower intent, builds list. Campaign 2: Treatment-specific (Botox/filler/CoolSculpting) with $99 first-visit offer — higher intent, lower volume. Run both with separate budgets.
Meta CTR 1.5%+ = good, 2.5%+ = great, 4%+ = unicorn. ThruPlay 25%+ on video. CPM under $25. If CTR is under 1%, creative is the problem — change before tweaking targeting.
Yes — enter average LTV and the tool shows ROAS as well as CPA. Healthy medspa ROAS on Meta: 3-5x in month 1, 6-10x at 12-month LTV. Below 2x ROAS = unprofitable, cut campaign.
Three levers in order: (1) Creative — replace top 2 video ads. (2) Speed-to-lead — auto-respond in 60 sec. (3) Targeting — broaden audience (Meta's 2026 algo prefers broad). My AI Stack handles #2 + helps you systematize #1.
