Learn how to build your ideal practiceWhy Optometrists Need a Professional Website
A well-designed website is essential for modern optometrists to attract patients, build trust, and grow their practice.
Local Search Visibility
Patients search for optometrists near them. Your website must rank well to compete with chain optometry stores that dominate online advertising.
Differentiate from Chains
OPSM, Specsavers, and other chains have brand recognition. Your website should communicate what makes independent optometry different—personalised care, continuity, clinical expertise.
Communicate Medicare Coverage
Many patients don't know eye tests can be bulk-billed to Medicare. Clear information about bulk-billed vs private eye health services helps patients understand their options.
Eyewear Showcase
If you dispense glasses and contact lenses, your website should showcase your frame range attractively—this is a key competitive differentiator.
AHPRA-Compliant Marketing
We ensure your website meets optometry advertising guidelines while effectively promoting your practice.
Challenges Optometrists Face Online
We understand the unique challenges that optometrists face when building their online presence.
Chain Competition
Large optical chains dominate marketing and have brand recognition. Your website needs to clearly communicate what makes independent optometry different—personalised care, clinical expertise, and continuity.
Dual Service Model Communication
Optometry combines clinical eye health care with retail eyewear dispensing. Balance communication about both aspects without appearing too sales-focused on glasses.
Medicare vs Private Services
Medicare covers standard eye tests but not contact lens consultations or specialised testing. Clear communication about what's bulk-billed vs private helps patients understand costs.
Health Fund Optical Benefits
Patients want to know about optical health fund coverage and whether you're a preferred provider. Clear information helps patients maximise their benefits.
