01 — The challenge

For aesthetic clinics, Instagram DMs are where most enquiries start, often late in the evening. Replies come hours later, the moment passes, and the same price questions get typed out again and again.

02 — How it works, step by step

CustomerAISystemYour team

  1. 01Customer

    Someone DMs the clinic on Instagram

    Often late at night, after seeing a post: "How much is lip filler?"

  2. 02AI

    The agent replies instantly, in your voice

    It answers treatment, price and availability questions from your own menu and FAQ.

    Hi how much is lip filler? 😊

    Hi Jess! Lip filler starts from £180 for 0.5ml (sample price), and every treatment starts with a free consultation with our nurse prescriber.

    Does it hurt much?

    Most clients say it's very manageable, and we use numbing cream first.

  3. 03AI

    It collects their details

    Name, contact details and the treatment they're interested in are saved as a lead.

  4. 04System

    It sends them to book

    When they're ready, the agent sends your booking link.

    Shall I send you the link to book your free consultation?

    Yes please!

    Here you go 💋 See you soon!

  5. 05AI

    Anything sensitive goes to the owner

    Pregnancy, adverse reactions and complaints are never answered by the agent. The owner is alerted with the full conversation.

05 — How set-up works

  1. Day 1

    Discovery call

    We go through how you work today, what the automation should handle and what it must never do.

  2. Week 1

    Build and connect

    I connect your Instagram account, load your menu and FAQ, and write the agent's voice and handover rules.

  3. Week 2

    Test together

    We DM it every type of question, including the sensitive ones, and check each reply and handover.

  4. End of week 2

    Go live

    It goes live with real customers. I watch the first week closely and adjust the wording and rules.

06 — Questions owners ask

Will customers know it's automated?

They should, and it says so up front. People mostly care that they get a fast, accurate answer and can reach a person when they need one.

Will it give medical advice?

No. Medical questions are always handed to your clinical team.

Does Instagram allow this?

Yes, it runs through Instagram's official messaging tools for business accounts.

What does it cost to run?

Running costs are the messaging and AI usage, usually a small monthly amount at a small business's volume. Set-up is a one-off cost. I give a fixed quote after the discovery call.
