If you want more bookings—not just likes—your approach needs to go beyond boosting.

Why boosting feels good (but rarely fills the calendar)
Boosting a post is quick, simple, and great for visibility. You’ll see likes, follows, and comments rise—which is encouraging. But boosts are designed for awareness, not action. Most boosts route people to your profile instead of your booking page.
Every extra tap between “interested” and “booked” invites drop-off, and that’s where revenue leaks. Awareness alone rarely fills the calendar; you need a path that removes friction.
If you want results that count—measurable bookings—your ad needs to take people straight to action, not just attention.
The path matters more than the post
Conversions are about removing friction. If someone taps an ad and lands directly on a booking page, they’re far more likely to finish. The content can be identical; the path determines the outcome.
If they tap a boosted post, open a profile, hunt for a link, choose between pages, and then try to book, most won’t make it. Every extra tap creates drop-off.
Send people straight to booking, skipping your profile and other irrelevant steps.

Tracking that closes the loop
Clicks and likes don’t pay the bills—appointments do. With proper tracking on your booking confirmation, ads learn from actual bookers. The system finds patterns, shifts delivery, and reduces wasted spend.
Tracking brings clarity: you see cost-per-booking, not just engagement. Better decisions, more bookings.
A simpler journey converts better
Think of each extra step as sand in the gears. The campaign’s job is to remove taps, questions, and choices. Clear offer, clear CTA, clear destination.
Less confusion means more bookings.

When boosting still makes sense

Boosts are great for reach or community: announcements, staff intros, local awareness. Treat boosts as top-of-funnel, then retarget with booking campaigns.

Is this more expensive than boosting?
Not necessarily. You may pay similar per person reached, but the booking-focused path often lowers your cost per booking.
No. Short vertical clips, a clear headline, and a direct “Book Now” work. Authentic beats polished videos.
What if online booking isn’t perfect?
Start with a simple lead form. Confirm by text or message. Move to direct online booking when flow is ready.
