Med spa and IV therapy

Med spa marketing for brands with several locations

Med spa marketing for a multi-location brand comes down to three things: a site for every location that shows who is medically responsible, local search visibility for treatment searches like "botox near me", and review replies that never reveal a patient's treatment. Multistead runs all three from one hub, with the claims and provider wording locked by headquarters and the day-to-day details owned by each location.

From $249 per location per month, billed annually. No per-user fees.

Why med spa marketing is harder at five locations than at one

A single med spa can keep its website, Google profile and reviews in one person's head. A group of five or fifty can't. Each location has its own medical director or supervising provider, its own injectors and nurses, its own hours and its own promotions. Every one of those details changes, and each change can create a compliance problem if it lands on the wrong page.

The usual setups fail in predictable ways. A single brand site with a store locator gives each location a thin page that rarely ranks for nearby searches. Separate WordPress sites per location drift off-brand, and nobody at headquarters knows which one still lists a provider who left in March. An agency can keep things tidy, but every new price or team photo becomes a ticket and a wait.

What works is a hybrid: headquarters owns the templates, the treatment claims and the medical wording, and each location owns its team, hours, offers and photos. That is how Multistead is built. For the broader playbook, see our guide to franchise and multi-location SEO.

Medical director and licensed provider wording on every location page

Med spas sell medical treatments, and marketing has to say who is responsible for them. The American Academy of Dermatology's medical spa standards of practice say the medical director should be identified in marketing and on websites, and that any board certification should name the board. Where a spa is not physician-owned, AmSpa founder Alex Thiersch has said marketing needs to make clear that a physician is behind the medical services (Plastic Surgery Practice). Some states go further. A law-firm guide reports that California requires the supervising physician's name on public posts, so check your states with counsel before you publish.

For a multi-location brand, the risk is not the wording on the flagship site. It's location 14, where the medical director changed and the page didn't. Multistead treats this as a governed field:

• A medical director field per location, with name, credentials and the certifying board. Changing it raises a change request that headquarters approves before it goes live.
• Provider cards with role labels (RN, NP, PA, MD, licensed esthetician), so it's clear who performs which treatment.
• Treatment descriptions written once by headquarters. Locations add prices and availability. They can't rewrite what a treatment does.
• An audit trail showing who changed each field and who approved it, which is what you want on hand if a board or regulator asks.

This is built to support your compliance process. It doesn't replace legal review of your claims.

Med spa website design: what each location page must show

Good med spa website design is less about the hero image and more about answering a nervous first-time client's questions. Use this as a checklist for every location:

• The medical director's name and credentials, and who performs treatments at this location.
• A treatment menu with "from" prices or a clear consult step for treatments priced after assessment.
• Membership or package pricing, with the terms in plain words.
• Before-and-after photos only with documented consent, labeled with the treatment and provider.
• Consult or appointment booking that works on a phone in two taps.
• The location's own address, hours, phone, parking notes and photos of the actual space.
• LocalBusiness schema and a page title that names the neighborhood, not just the brand.

Multistead generates the titles, descriptions, schema and sitemap per location, writes local copy from the location's real details, and gives each page a checklist score so you can see which locations are missing what. Open the live demos to see how it looks:

IV therapy marketing: drip menus without disease claims

IV therapy marketing has one rule that matters more than any tactic: don't claim a drip treats, prevents or cures a disease. The FTC has sent warning letters to drip spas over COVID-19 claims (example letter), and BBB National Programs' advertising division referred an IV company to the FDA and FTC over claims that IV hydration protects against COVID-19. "Immunity", "detox" and "cures" are the words that get lounges into trouble.

That's a real problem for a brand with AI writing local copy at twenty locations. Multistead handles it with HQ-locked claims: headquarters writes each drip's description once, and AI-written local copy talks about the neighborhood, the team and the visit, not about health outcomes. An IV lounge location page should show:

• The drip menu with ingredients and prices.
• Who administers (usually an RN) and who provides medical oversight.
• The health screening or intake step before any IV starts.
• Membership tiers, with what each includes and how to cancel.

See it working on the IV lounge demo and the IV and wellness demo. Intake data sits behind HIPAA-minded security (MFA, an audit log and encryption), and we sign a BAA with healthcare customers.

Memberships: the same terms at every location

Memberships are the revenue line most med spa and IV brands care about, and they're where inconsistency hurts. If one location's page says "cancel any time" and another's says "12-month commitment", you have a customer-service problem and possibly a legal one: many US states have automatic-renewal laws, and California's updated law took effect July 1, 2025 (Fenwick summary).

In Multistead, headquarters defines the membership tiers and terms. Locations set their own prices within the ranges you allow and choose which tiers they offer. The terms text stays identical everywhere.

Pre-opening Founders pages for new locations

Med spa and IV brands that grow by opening new locations want bookings in hand before the doors open. Every new Multistead location can start with a Founders page: a countdown to opening day, a capped number of founding spots set by the owner, a waitlist once they're gone, and every sign-up sent to your CRM tagged by location (GoHighLevel is supported today). When the countdown ends, the page switches to the full location site on its own. Founders pages are part of the Local plan.

Reviews on sensitive treatments: reply without revealing anything

A client reviews her filler appointment by name. The natural reply thanks her and mentions the treatment. That reply confirms she is a patient and what she had done, which is protected health information. The HHS Office for Civil Rights settled with a dental practice for $23,000 over Yelp replies that disclosed patient information (DLA Piper summary). Whether HIPAA applies to your spa depends on how it's set up, but the safe reply habit is the same either way.

Multistead drafts replies with AI. Positive reviews can auto-post with a reply that doesn't name a treatment or confirm a visit. Negative, medical or sensitive reviews wait for a human at the location to approve. We never filter which customers are asked for reviews, which keeps you on the right side of the FTC's rule against fake reviews and review suppression. More on this in review management for every location.

Med spa digital marketing and medspa advertising: where the hub fits

Most med spa digital marketing spend goes to paid ads: Google search, Meta and promotions around holidays. Multistead doesn't run your ads. It makes them work harder by giving every ad a fast, on-brand landing page for the right location, with the right provider and the right price. Your agency can keep running medspa advertising and work inside Multistead, since there are no per-user fees.

Each location also gets Google Analytics, Search Console and its Business Profile connected on the Local plan, and a 7×7 Google Maps rank grid for 5 keywords, such as "botox near me" or "IV therapy near me". Read how the Google Maps rank grid works. Listings outside Google matter too: we set up and match each location's listings during onboarding (Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Yelp, Facebook and Instagram, Yellow Pages, Foursquare and Healthgrades), and the platform flags mismatches in name, address or phone after that.

What it costs for a 12-location med spa brand

Worked from the published prices, billed annually:

At 25 locations, a 10% volume discount applies to the location fees on annual plans (not the Headquarters fee). Every location also gets its own reports and dashboards, and headquarters sees all of them. Compare that total with what you spend now on site hosting, an agency retainer per location, a rank tracker and a reviews tool. If you leave, you can take an export of your sites (an offboarding fee is agreed up front in your contract, so there are no surprises).

When Multistead is not the right fit

• You have one location. Pricing starts at 5 locations. A good single-site builder and a local agency will serve you better.
• You want an agency to run your ads. Multistead is the platform, not an ad agency.
• You only need one point tool. If reviews are your only gap, a reviews-only tool will cost less. Multistead is for brands replacing several vendors with one hub.

On the call we'll run a 7×7 rank grid for one of your locations and show its current site running unchanged in mirror mode.
