Maximizing ROI and Lowering CPC: Cruxdata.io's AI Marketing Co-Pilot Success with Google Ads for Med Spas

Case Study: How Clients New to Google Ads Accelerated New Customer Acquisition with Cruxdata.io’s Powerful AI Platform

In this study, we’ll take a look at two different clients: 

Client #1, who we will call “Skincare Medspa” features services including AgeJet skin tightening, IPL photo facials, microneedling, laser hair removal, chemical peels, and other skin regeneration services.

Client #2, who we will call "Holistic Wellness Center”, offers therapeutic massage, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, ashiatsu, thai massage, oncology massage, and full body hot stone massage services.

Context: 

Skincare Medspa
When we began working with Skincare Medspa, they had already set up a Google Ads account, but had not yet created or launched any ads. Cruxdata provided comprehensive guidance in developing a landing page, selecting keywords, identifying the target audience, and devising a bidding strategy. The primary goal was to attract new clients for their newly acquired skin rejuvenation equipment. Skincare Medspa preferred new clients call them to book, so we set that as the primary goal for our Google Ads campaign. Starting with a small budget of $170 per month, we knew we would have to be clever with our keyword optimization. Within a week, Cruxdata launched their campaign, optimizing ad spend and enhancing client acquisition

Holistic Wellness Center
Holistic Wellness Center had been experimenting with Google’s Local Service Ads, but struggled to measure their effectiveness. Cruxdata stepped in to set up a proper Google Ads campaign, implement tracking solutions to work around third-party booking software, devise a target audience and create a bidding strategy. The primary goal was to replace low-margin bookings from a third-party discount platform with new clients booking directly through their website. With a starting budget of $275 per month, the call to action focused on booking services via their website. Through Cruxdata's strategic approach, Holistic Wellness Center was able to optimize their ad spend and attract higher-margin clients.
