Stop the vanity cycle
You are likely over-investing in content that does not sell your treatments. If you are paying a salary to someone who only produces pretty videos that get a handful of likes, you are misallocating your capital. Pivot your strategy to focus on conversion metrics. Every piece of content must have a clear objective. If you cannot track the path from a view to a booking, kill the process immediately.
Evaluating your options
You can hire better, use an agency, or try a managed content network. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This approach shifts the cost from a high-salary hire to a performance-based network, which is often more efficient for a founder.
The risk of doing nothing
Doing nothing is expensive. Every week your social media underperforms, you are losing out on potential clients who are looking for wellness services online. If your competitors are active and you are not, you are losing your market share. Be ruthless in your decision making. If your current team cannot pivot to a results-based model, you need to make changes to protect your company's revenue.
Making the pivot
Start by auditing your past six months of social activity. Which posts actually led to bookings? If you cannot find a single one, your content is failing you. Take the money you were spending on that and move it toward a channel that works, whether it is paid ads or a content network. Focus on simplicity. Do not complicate your recovery with fancy branding exercises when you need simple, direct growth.
If your social media is failing, stop the waste and switch to a model that connects content directly to your bottom line.

Follow-up questions
How do I know if the content is the problem?
If your offer is good but your reach is low, the problem is your distribution. If your reach is high but you get no sales, your content is the problem.
Is it better to pause entirely?
Pausing is better than wasting money on ineffective efforts. Use the time to find a solution that actually delivers on your goals.
What if my staff insists it takes time?
Brand building does take time, but direct response should show results fast. If you are not seeing a lift, you are waiting for a miracle.
