Where Did All My Ad Budget Go?

If you're a med spa owner running ads on Meta or Google, you've probably asked yourself this question:
"I spent $2,300 last month on ads... so why does my schedule still have openings?"

You're not alone. This is one of the most frustrating, but fixable problems in aesthetic marketing.

The Marketing Data Problem No One Talks About.

Most software platforms, like your CRM or EMR, aren’t built to answer this one critical question: Which ad actually brought in a paying patient?

Sure, your CRM shows “leads.” Your EMR shows “revenue.” But they don’t connect. That’s the gap.

Without a true funnel view, you’re forced to guess:

  • Which campaigns converted

  • Which ones flopped

  • Whether your front desk is dropping the ball

  • And if your agency is actually earning their fee

Leads Aren’t Revenue. And You Know It.

Getting 83 leads sounds great… until you realize:

  • Only 17 booked

  • 9 actually showed up

  • And maybe 3 paid you anything

That’s not a funnel. That’s a money leak.

Worse? No one’s telling you where the leak is.

What You Actually Want to See

Imagine seeing this on one dashboard:

  • Meta Ad Campaign X → $1,150 in filler booked

  • Campaign Y → $0 revenue, 15 no-shows

  • Your ROI by campaign, day, or service line

That’s the visibility you need to scale. Not “clicks.” Not “leads.”

Revenue. Appointments. Real growth.

What Happens When You Can See the Funnel

Med spa owners using ClinicROI are uncovering:

  • 400% ROI campaigns they didn’t know were working

  • $1,000s in wasted ad spend they cut immediately

  • Missed follow-ups costing them $5,000+/month

And the best part? You don’t need to switch CRMs.
ClinicROI connects with what you already use.

Stop Guessing. Start Tracking Real ROI.

If you’re spending $1,000+ per month on ads but can’t tie that to booked patients, it’s time to change that.

With ClinicROI, you can finally:

  • Track ad spend → to booked appointments → to revenue

  • Hold your team and agency accountable

  • Scale what’s working and cut what’s not

You didn’t pay for leads. You paid for patients.
Let’s make sure your marketing delivers.
