Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from opticians in Eastbourne every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
No online booking for eye tests
Chains offer instant online booking. If your website doesn't, customers take the easier option.
Better service than the chains but fewer reviews
You give personal, expert care — but online, the practice with more reviews looks more established.
Your practice barely shows up on Google Maps
Chains dominate the map results. Without optimisation, independent opticians get buried.
Eye test bookings going to whoever shows up first
When someone searches for an eye test, they book the first practice they find. If that's Specsavers, you've lost a customer.
