Everything you need to grow a busy optometry practice

Optometry marketing, all in one place. Every part works together to bring you eye-test bookings and keep your test rooms full.

Be the first optometrist patients find on Google

When patients search for an optometrist on Google or Maps, your practice should be the first they see and the easiest to book. We manage your Google marketing and polish your Google Business Profile so you show up, look trustworthy and get the booking.

  • More visible on Google when patients search for an eye test or new frames
  • A polished Google Business Profile: reviews, hours, photos and one-tap booking
  • Google Ads tuned to the services and areas you want more of
Google marketing

Get found on Google search

Most patients never scroll past the first page. We optimise your website and content with proven optometry SEO so you rank organically for the eye-care services and conditions patients search, a steady stream of new bookings with no ongoing ad spend.

  • Ranking for the high-intent searches patients actually type
  • Technical, on-page and content SEO handled end to end
  • Organic enquiries that compound month after month
Optometry SEO

Get recommended by AI search

Patients increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews for a recommendation. We structure your site and content so these AI tools understand, trust and surface your optometry practice when patients ask.

  • Optimised to be cited by AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini
  • Structured, authoritative content AI assistants can trust
  • Be the practice AI recommends, not your competitor

  • One-tap review requests sent to patients automatically
  • Smart filtering system
  • A steady stream of genuine 5-star reviews that lifts your reputation

Stay top of mind on social media

Not every patient is searching yet. We run ads on Instagram, Facebook & TikTok that put your practice in front of the right people while they scroll, from new frame ranges to children’s eye tests, so you stay top of mind long before they need to book.

  • Reach the right people, targeted by area, age and interests
  • Scroll-stopping creative that looks professional and stays HPCSA-appropriate
  • Build awareness today, so you're the first name they think of tomorrow

We know how patients choose an optometrist

Whether they’re booking an eye test, replacing frames or seeking specialist eye care, patients search differently for an optometrist. We understand those behaviours because healthcare marketing is all we do.
