Where patients leak
Three leaks we look for in Baltimore
Eyewear and exam demand that goes untracked
Exams, contact lens fittings, dry eye visits and frame sales start in different searches. Without call and booking tracking, it is hard to tell which source produced a booked exam rather than a click.
Unclear insurance and vision plan answers
Many searchers want to know before they call whether you take their vision plan or medical insurance. If the answer is buried, they book where it is stated plainly.
How it works
Tracked, Booked, Found: the first steps in Baltimore
The full method has six steps. Below are the ones that matter most when starting out in Baltimore.
Tracked
Each call, form and booking is tied to the keyword, ad or listing that produced it, so spending follows what works.
Booked
The exam lands on your calendar, is confirmed by text and is reminded before the visit.
Found
Local SEO for your city and neighborhoods, a complete Google Business Profile with accurate hours and services, and consistent listings so you appear for eye exam searches near the patient.
The whole method is on the optometry marketing page.
Fit
When we are, and are not, the right partner
A good fit
- You have exam-chair time to fill and can take more patients
- You want steady new-patient growth, not a one-time website refresh
Probably not a fit
- You want a promised ranking or a promised patient count
- You are looking for the cheapest possible monthly fee

Do you work with practices in Maryland?
We work with practices across the United States. We do not yet list a Maryland practice on our client wall, so we would build your Baltimore program from our method rather than from a local example.

Usually a Google search on a phone, then the Maps listings, reviews and a quick look at the website. Our work covers each of those steps.
