Problem

A dermatology practice was spending most of its ad budget on broad “dermatology clinic” campaigns, which generated lots of acne inquiries but few high-value cosmetic patients. The imbalance drained ROI.

Approach

QuantiMedia segmented campaigns by service line (laser, injectables, resurfacing), added negatives for acne-related terms, and repositioned ad copy toward luxury aesthetic outcomes.

Results

Cosmetic leads surged, revenue per patient jumped, and ROI improved dramatically. Instead of chasing volume, the practice was now focusing on profitable service lines, leading to stronger growth without more spend.

Benefits

1

Profit-First Segmentation

Campaigns were split by service type, letting the practice prioritize high-margin offerings like lasers and injectables.

2

Cosmetic Positioning

Ad copy shifted toward outcomes like “youthful skin” and “aesthetic rejuvenation,” resonating with patients seeking premium services.

3

Budget to Margin

Reallocating spend toward 3× ROI procedures ensured marketing dollars generated maximum profitability.
