Optometrist PPC services that book eye exams on demand.
PPC is the fastest path from "I need an eye exam" to "I booked one with you." Done well, our optometrist PPC services produce consistent appointment volume in week one and get cheaper every quarter as the program tunes. Done by a generalist agency, ppc ads for optometrists burn budget on broad keywords and untracked phone calls. We do not. Flat-fee management, senior buyers on your account, and exam-attributed reporting on every dollar of spend.
Spend that books exams. Tracking that does not lie.
Most optometrist PPC accounts we audit have the same three problems. First, broad-match keywords burning 30 to 40% of spend on irrelevant searches. Second, phone calls untracked or misattributed, so smart bidding cannot optimize. Third, generic landing pages sending traffic to the homepage instead of a service-specific booking funnel. Fix those three and your cost per booked exam drops 40 to 60% before we add a single new campaign.
We bill flat-fee, not a percentage of ad spend. Most ppc services for optometrists are billed at 12 to 20% of your media budget, which means the agency makes more money the more you spend, regardless of what works. Our optometrist PPC management makes the same fee whether you spend $1,500 or $50,000 a month. So we recommend the budget that fits your practice, not the budget that fits our invoice.

Cost per booked exam range across active optometry accounts. Specialty services like dry eye and ortho-K trend higher, routine exams sit lower.
Hyper-local targeting
Radius targeting tuned to your actual patient draw, usually 3 to 7 miles. National keyword strategies do not work in optometry, and we will not pretend they do.
Senior buyers, not interns
Average buyer has spent $40M+ across categories. The agency is small on purpose. We will not dilute the team to fit more logos on the homepage.
What is in our optometrist PPC services retainer.
Five disciplines run as one program. The same senior buyer on your account in week one is the same one on it in month twelve. No bait and switch, no junior account manager rotation, no offshore optimization shift you never agreed to.
Strategy before spend.
Every engagement starts with a written campaign strategy. Which services to promote, which neighborhoods to target, which audiences to layer, what the offer is, and what the conversion model looks like. No ad goes live until the strategy is signed off. Saves you spend, saves us time, saves a quarter of arguing about what should have been clear in week one.

Tuning that compounds.
PPC is not "launch and let it run." Every week, our buyers review search terms, adjust bids, kill underperformers, scale winners, test new ad copy, and refresh creative. The compounding savings, lower CPL, higher CVR, better Quality Score, are the difference between a profitable program and a budget-burning one.

Where ad spend converts.
An ad is only as good as the page it lands on. We design and build dedicated landing pages for high-spend campaigns. Your domain, your CMS, your assets. A/B tested every week and tied to the same dashboard that tracks ad performance. Most optometry agencies skip this step. We do not.

Copy that earns the click.
Generic ad copy is a tax on your budget. Our writers research your patients, your local competitors, and your actual sales call recordings. Every ad maps to a buyer-stage problem. "I just got a vision change" reads differently from "my insurance just changed." Static and video creative produced in-house, not subbed out.

Creative testing programStatistical creative testing. What wins, why it wins, what to scale, what to retire next week.
Real attribution, not last-click theater.
Most optometry PPC dashboards lie because the tracking lies. Phone calls go untracked. Booking-widget conversions are not fed back to Google. The conversion data smart bidding optimizes against is incomplete. We rebuild the tracking from the ground up. Server-side events, call tracking, booking-system integration, offline conversion imports.

Find the leaks.
Account audit, tracking audit, competitive review. Output is a written 90-day plan signed off by you before we spend a dollar of media.
Weeks 1 to 2Build the foundation.
Account restructure, tracking rebuild, landing pages built, creative produced. All approved by you before launch, not after.
Weeks 2 to 4Launch and iterate weekly.
Campaigns live by week 5. Weekly creative testing, weekly bid review, and a monthly strategy session with your senior buyer.
Month 2+Compound the wins.
Once unit economics prove out, we scale spend at controlled velocity. Add channels (Meta, LSAs) once core search is saturating.
Month 4+Why optometry practices pick us over generalist PPC agencies.
Three reasons that come up in every reference call our prospective clients run before they sign.
Optometry-specific buyer.
We have spent millions on optometrist PPC across 20+ practices. Generalist agencies treat optometry as "local services" and it shows in the cost per booked exam by month three.
Vertical-nativeAligned incentives.
We bill flat. We make the same fee whether you spend $1,500 or $50,000, so we recommend the spend that actually works for your appointment book.
No spend conflictNo long-term lock-in.
After the 90-day initial term, we run month-to-month with 30 days notice. Retention comes from results, not from a 12-month contract with cancellation penalties.
Month-to-monthWhat rigorous ppc services for optometrists actually deliver.
Optometrist PPC services pricing that fits your stage, not ours.
Four monthly retainers. Flat management fees, ad spend billed separately to your account on your card. Most growing optometry practices pick Growth at $799/mo with $1,500 to $3,000 in monthly ad spend. Minimum 90-day commitment for the data to settle, then month-to-month.

Questions optometrists ask about PPC services before signing on.
If your question is not here, send it. You will get a written answer within one business day, from a strategist, not a chatbot, not a junior on the team.
Why flat-fee instead of percent of spend?
Because percent of spend creates a conflict of interest. The more you spend, the more an agency makes, regardless of return. We bill flat for our optometrist PPC management, scaled to account complexity, so we recommend the spend that is right for your practice, not the spend that is right for our invoice. That single billing choice fixes about half the issues we see in ppc services for optometrists contracts already in market.
What is the minimum monthly ad spend?
$500 to start on the Launch tier, but $1,500/month is where the data settles for a competitive single-location optometry practice, and $3,000/month for multi-location. Below $500, smart bidding does not have enough conversion data to optimize, and our management fee eats the budget faster than the program returns it. We will tell you on the strategy call whether your math actually works at your stage.
How much do optometrist PPC services cost?
Our optometrist PPC services run $399 to $1,499 per month in management, plus your ad spend on top. Launch at $399/mo fits first-time paid advertisers with $500 to $1,500 in monthly ad spend. Growth at $799/mo is what most growing single-location practices pick, with $1,500 to $3,000 in spend. Scale at $1,499/mo fits multi-location groups. Enterprise is custom-scoped. We model the right tier on the strategy call based on your patient volume goal and the competitive set in your ZIP code.
Which platforms do you run?
Google Ads (Search, Local Service Ads, Performance Max, YouTube), Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and Microsoft Ads when the ICP fits. We do not usually recommend running every platform from day one. We start with Google search and LSAs because that is where the highest-intent eye exam searches live, then expand as unit economics prove out.
How long until we see results?
Audit findings land in weeks 1 to 2. First wins land in weeks 4 to 6, usually from waste reduction rather than new lift. Meaningful program lift starts in month 3 and beyond. Compounding CPL improvements show up around month 6. Anyone promising "2x bookings in 30 days" is selling the restructure of an already-failing account, not actual program growth.
Do you handle creative?
Yes, both static and motion. Most clients have brand assets we adapt. Some need original photography or video, which we can shoot or commission. The creative scope is written into the SOW, so there is no surprise invoice for design hours later. Working from your team's creative is also fine. We just review it for performance fit and flag what is working against you.
What happens if a campaign does not work?
We kill it. Then we run a postmortem. Was it the offer, the audience, the landing page, the creative, or the keyword set? We rebuild what is worth rebuilding and write off what is not. Most accounts have 1 or 2 underperforming campaigns at any given time. That is normal in optometrist PPC ads work, and it is what separates a real optometrist PPC services partner from a button-pusher. The program-level economics are what matter, and they are what we report against on the monthly call.
