Med spa social media audit and content calendar
- Price

- What you get
- A category table with posts, share of posts, median engagement and Reel views; posts far above your typical post flagged; a count of posts that ask people to book, RSVP or join, and how many name a price; a side-by-side with another med spa on the same categories; five changes; a content calendar for the next 4 to 8 weeks; a short list of posts for your team to check by hand; and every post listed with its category so you can correct it.

- Sign-in with Google required to run it. You can read the example and fill in the form without an account.
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.

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
Providers on camera get the best response at both
The booking ask comes without a price
No client stories at either med spa
12 posts hide their likes, and none is flagged
The calendar keeps the rate and moves the mix
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
