How do you audit a med spa's social media?

Place each recent post in a content category, compare the share of posts and the response per category with what the account is for, then plan the next weeks from what you find. In a run on November 9, 2026, before and after took 18 of a med spa's 46 posts over 15 weeks at a median of 0.130%, against 0.140% for the account, and 11 posts asked for a booking without naming a price.

Enter your med spa's Instagram account. Nolyn sorts your 48 most recent posts into the categories med spa marketing teams plan with, such as before and after, treatment education, providers and team, client stories and offers, shows how much of your feed each one takes up and what response it gets, and counts how often you ask people to book. Add another med spa to compare the same categories over the same dates. Then it lays out the next 4 to 8 weeks of posts, with no result promised in any of them.

Key findings

  • Before and after is the biggest category and sits below the account median
  • Providers on camera get the best response at both

The report includes

  • Your content mix by category
  • Response per category and format
  • A booking-ask count
  • Another med spa on the same categories
  • A 4–8 week content calendar
  • A list to check by hand

What you get

Your content mix by category

Every recent post placed in one category, with the number of posts and the share of your feed each category takes up. Before and after is counted as a content type only: nothing on the page or in the report judges the results a post shows.

Response per category and format

Median engagement by followers for each category and format, and median views for Reels, with the number of posts behind each figure. Posts with hidden likes are counted but left out of the rates, and posts far above your typical post are flagged.

A booking-ask count

How many posts ask people to book, RSVP or join a membership, and how many of those name a price or a deadline.

Another med spa on the same categories

Add a med spa you compete with or look to, and both are compared over the same dates, with the categories and formats that get the best typical response at each.

A 4–8 week content calendar

A dated plan at about the rate your account already posts: each planned post with its category, format and a one-line idea, booking asks spaced through it, and a note on every before and after row to confirm client consent. No row promises a result. Prices, packages and dates you have not posted are left as placeholders.

A list to check by hand

Before and after and client story posts, so someone can confirm written consent is on file, and captions that promise a result, call a treatment painless, safe or permanent, mention downtime, say best, or promote a prescription weight-loss medication. It is a reading list, not a ruling.

Sample: two US med spas, side by side

A real run on two public US med spa accounts, using the eight categories on this page and the goal of booking consultations and bringing clients back. We have anonymized them as Practice A, a multi-location med spa group with about 56,000 followers, and Practice B, the main account of a larger med spa chain with about 14,900, and rounded their follower counts; the method and the other figures are unchanged. Both are shown over the same 15 weeks, and the run ended with a six-week calendar for Practice A. This describes what they posted and the public response, not the quality or safety of any treatment.

Jul 18–Oct 31, 2026, posts owned by other accounts and pinned posts left out. Categories as the run filed them from captions. Engagement = (likes + comments) ÷ followers, median per post; 12 Practice A posts with hidden likes count as posts but are left out of its rates. Figures as Instagram returned them on November 9, 2026.

Before and after is the biggest category and sits below the account median

Before and after takes 18 of Practice A's 46 posts (39.1%) at a median of 0.130%, against 0.140% for the account. 11 of the 18 are single photos at 0.111%; its 6 before and after carousels reach 0.220%. Practice B gives it 5 of 53 posts.

Providers on camera get the best response at both

Providers and team is 2 of Practice A's posts at 0.250%, its highest category with more than one post, and its two Reels drew 7,476 and 30,827 views against the account's Reel median of 7,690. At Practice B the same category is 7 of 53 posts at 0.511%, also its highest with more than one post.

The booking ask comes without a price

11 of Practice A's 46 posts ask people to book, RSVP or join through the link in its bio, and none of its captions names a price. Its 4 offer and membership posts have a median of 0.175% over the 2 with visible likes. Practice B named one price in 15 weeks, a $99-a-month founding membership.

No client stories at either med spa

Neither account posted a client review or story in 15 weeks: 0 of 46 and 0 of 53. The calendar adds 3, each with a note to confirm written consent before it goes up.

12 posts hide their likes, and none is flagged

12 of Practice A's 46 posts return 3 likes, the sign of hidden likes, 5 of them before and after; they count as posts but are left out of its rates. Its most-liked post has 300 likes, 4.0 times its median of 74.5, so nothing reaches the ten-times flag.

The calendar keeps the rate and moves the mix

The run planned 18 posts from November 17 to December 26, three a week against the 3.0 Practice A kept up. Before and after drops to 2 rows, providers and team and client stories get 3 each, and 4 offer rows leave prices and dates as placeholders. It dates only Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas Eve.

Every figure was recomputed from the responses saved from this run, and we kept the run's categories after checking them against the captions. Practice A's 48 most recent posts included 2 owned by other accounts, so 46 remain. The run kept one pinned Practice B post in the window; we left it out, which gives 53 posts and a median of 0.208% where the report says 54 and 0.215%. Posts that return 3 likes alongside thousands of views have hidden likes: Instagram's public page shows no like count on the ones we checked. The review list is the run's own and we confirmed every quoted phrase in the captions. Likes and views are not bookings: nothing here shows how many people booked.

How it works

  1. Enter your account

    Add your med spa's @handle. Keep the eight categories or list the ones your team plans with, and say what the account is for.

  2. Add another med spa if you want one

    Pick a public account of a med spa you compete with or look to. Nolyn compares it with yours over the same dates.

  3. Nolyn reads and sorts your posts

    It reads your 48 most recent posts, places each in one category from its caption and works out the response per category and format.

  4. Correct the categories, then plan

    Check the post list and the review list, tell Nolyn what to move, and take the 4–8 week calendar into your next planning meeting. Ask for changes in the same chat.

Who uses a med spa social media audit

Med spa owners and practice managers

See what the feed really does each quarter without reading every post, and bring numbers to the team meeting: how much is before and after, how often you ask for the booking, and what the next six weeks should look like.

Marketing coordinators at multi-location groups

Check the mix against your plan, compare with another brand over the same dates, and hand the review list to whoever signs off on claims and consent.

Injectors who run the account themselves

Start each month from a dated plan built on your own posts instead of a list of 50 post ideas.

What it cannot do

Nolyn reads the public numbers on each post: likes, comments and, for Reels, views. It cannot see reach, saves, shares, profile visits, Stories, follower details or which posts were promoted, and it cannot tell you whether a post brought in a booking. Many med spas hide like counts, and those posts drop out of the rates. Categories come from captions, not from the image or the video, so some posts will need moving. It does not judge the results shown in a before and after post or whether any treatment is safe or suitable, and it cannot see whether you hold client consent. The review list is not legal, medical or compliance advice. The calendar is a plan built from public posts: check every price, date and claim before you schedule it.

Questions

Decide what the account is for, usually booked consultations and repeat visits, plan a short list of content categories that serve it, and check the mix every quarter. In the sample, before and after was the biggest category at one med spa and sat below its account median, while posts with providers on camera did best at both.

Most med spa content falls into eight groups: before and after, treatment education, providers and team, client stories, offers and memberships, behind the scenes, skincare products and holidays. A list of ideas does not tell you which your clients respond to, so check your own feed and another med spa's before you plan.

We have no benchmark, and two accounts do not make one. In the sample one med spa posted 3.0 times a week and the other 3.5 over the same 15 weeks. The calendar keeps the rate you have kept up, because a plan you cannot sustain will not run.

Yes, as part of the audit. After the category table and five changes, Nolyn lays out the next 4 to 8 weeks: a date, category, format and one-line idea for each post, at about the rate your account already posts, with booking asks spaced through it. No row promises a result, every before and after row carries a consent note, and prices, packages and dates are placeholders unless you have posted them.

We have no benchmark across med spas. In the sample the medians were 0.140% for Practice A, with about 56,000 followers, and 0.208% for Practice B, with about 14,900, over 15 weeks. Rates fall as accounts grow, so compare your own categories and formats with each other first.

Get written consent first, and keep it on file. If your med spa is a HIPAA covered entity, using a client's photos for marketing needs a signed authorization (45 CFR 164.508(a)(3)). Under the FTC's Endorsement Guides, a result that is not typical needs a clear statement of what people can generally expect (16 CFR Part 255). State medical board rules also apply and vary. This is not legal advice.

Health claims in ads need competent and reliable scientific evidence under the FTC Act, as the FTC's Health Products Compliance Guidance explains. Words such as guaranteed, painless, permanent, no downtime and best are the ones the review list asks your team to read. Nolyn lists those captions; it does not decide whether any of them breaks a rule. This is not legal or medical advice.

Yes, if its account is public. Both are read over the same dates and placed in the same categories, and the report names the categories and formats with the best typical response at each. A larger chain may run paid promotion, so take its mix and formats, not its rate, as the lesson.

No. It is a report, not an agency. It does not post, reply or run ads. It shows what your feed is doing so your team, or the agency you already use, can plan from real numbers.

No. Nolyn reads public posts only, so you never connect your account or share a password. That also means Instagram Insights such as reach and saves are not included, and no client records are read.

Reading this page and the sample is free. Running an audit needs a free Nolyn account: sign in with Google and you get 100 free credits. The sample run, with a second med spa, used 78 credits and about 11 minutes, so a run like it fits in the free credits. That is one run, so yours may cost more or less, and follow-up questions use more.

To run it, yes: sign in with Google. It is free and asks for no card. You can read the example and fill in the form before signing in.
