Executive Overview

"February is a short month and historically one of the slowest in the wellness industry. That said, the work we completed this month was not reactive — it was strategic. We built the infrastructure that makes everything else work: your Google Business Profile is fully optimized, your conversion tracking is live, your ads are running on the right keywords, and your homepage redesign is approved and in progress. The slow week does not concern me. The foundation we have laid does."

This report covers every deliverable completed in February, what is in progress, and the full March plan. Every decision made this month was intentional — designed to build a system that compounds over time rather than chasing short-term spikes.

February Performance Snapshot

Monday1 lead

Thursday1 appointment
Friday (Today)1 appointment — returning client

Our Analysis

February is seasonally slow for IV therapy across the board. The ~$2K revenue gap vs. January is consistent with industry patterns — not a signal that something is broken.

Online bookings without calls (Tue/Wed) are a positive signal — people are finding you on Google and booking directly. Your GBP and website booking flow are working.

The foundation we're building now — SEO, citations, content, GBP — compounds over time. March, April, and May will be noticeably stronger.

Google Ads — Live Campaign Data

Michael's Strategic Assessment

"The campaign is performing exactly as expected for this stage. We targeted the right keywords from day one, the cost-per-click is well below industry average for IV therapy, and Google's own algorithm rates this account above average at 84.8%. The next 30 days are where this investment starts to pay off."

The campaign launched mid-February. These 14-day numbers reflect a campaign that is still in its learning phase — performance typically improves significantly in weeks 3–4 as Google's algorithm optimizes delivery.

Account Health

84.8%Optimization Score

Google independently rates this account above average. Most new campaigns score in the 60s. Reaching 84.8% in the first two weeks reflects strong account structure and keyword targeting from the start.

Spend Efficiency Improving: -57% Cost vs. Prior Period

This is a positive signal, not a concern. As Google's algorithm learns your ideal audience, it stops showing ads to unlikely buyers and focuses spend on high-probability clicks. The budget is working smarter, not just harder. We are monitoring daily and will adjust bids proactively if needed.

Device Breakdown (Last 14 Days)

Mobile Phones~80% of spend
Computers~18% of spend
Tablets~2% of spend

Why this matters: 80% of your ad traffic arrives on a phone. This is exactly why we pushed for the homepage revamp before scaling the budget. A fast, mobile-first page is not optional — it is the difference between a click that converts and a click that bounces. We planned for this.

Top Search Terms Triggering Your Ads

iv therapy near meHigh Intent
iv therapy sacramentoHigh Intent

These are the searches that matter most. Someone typing "iv therapy near me" or "iv therapy sacramento" is not researching — they are ready to book. We specifically structured the campaign to target these high-intent queries and exclude broader, lower-quality traffic. That targeting decision is why the cost-per-click is efficient.

Next Optimization: Negative Keyword Refinement

As part of our ongoing management, we will review the full search terms report and add negative keywords to filter out any non-buyer queries. This is standard practice at this stage and will further improve the quality of every click.

Audience Demographics (Known Impressions)

25–34Highest impression volume
35–44Strong secondary segment

Based on 78% of impressions with known age/gender data. The 25–44 demographic aligns precisely with LUX Wellness's ideal customer — health-conscious adults with disposable income who make decisions quickly. We did not need to adjust demographic targeting because the campaign was structured correctly from the start.

What This Means for Your Business

At $2.45 per click with 188 clicks, your total ad spend of $491 brought 188 people to your website who were actively searching for IV therapy in Sacramento. If just 5% of those visitors book an appointment — that is roughly 9 new bookings from this campaign alone. A single IV drip appointment covers the cost of several days of ad spend. As the homepage revamp goes live and the campaign matures, that conversion rate will climb.

March Roadmap

March is when the foundation we've built in February starts showing up in your numbers. Here's what's planned:

Homepage Revamp

High

Full redesign based on the Figma mockup — cleaner layout, stronger CTAs, mobile-first. This is the key to converting more visitors into booked appointments.

Backlink Building

High

Getting other reputable websites to link to yours — a major ranking signal that tells Google your site is trustworthy and authoritative.

First Service Page

High

Full proposal and copy for your first dedicated service page — likely the Fountain of Youth or NAD+ page, targeting high-intent search terms.

GBP Posting (Ongoing)

Medium

Regular posts on your Google Business Profile keep your listing active and visible in local search results.

Citations (Continued)

Medium

Continuing to build and clean up your business listings across directories — this compounds over time for local rankings.

Monthly Blog Post

Medium

A new SEO-optimized blog post adds a keyword-ranked page to your site every month — building long-term organic traffic.

Technical Fixes

Medium

Implementing the fixes identified in the February technical audit — resolving issues that could be suppressing your rankings.

What You Should See in March

More Google visibility as citations propagate and heading optimization goes live

Homepage revamp that converts visitors into booked appointments more effectively

Google Ads relaunch (pending homepage approval) bringing in new high-intent leads

First blog post adding a new keyword-ranked page to your site
