Where patients leak
Common gaps in Riverside optometry marketing
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.
