Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from opticians in Edinburgh every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Your website doesn't compete with chain websites
Your website doesn't need to cost millions — it just needs to be professional and show why you're the better choice locally.
No online booking for eye tests
Chains offer instant online booking. If your website doesn't, customers take the easier option.
Loyal customers but no online proof
Your customers love the personal service — but they're not leaving reviews. New customers have no way to know.
Customers defaulting to Specsavers or Vision Express
People don't know you exist because the chains dominate online. A strong digital presence changes that.
What We Do for Opticians

More Reviews
An automated system that asks your customers for a Google review after every job. More reviews means more trust and higher rankings.
Local Services Ads
Google puts your business at the top of search with your reviews and a Google Verified badge. You only pay when someone actually calls.
Optician Demand in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is home to Georgian and Victorian stone tenements, New Town terraces, and modern suburban developments. Our opticians clients serve homeowners and businesses across areas like New Town, Leith, Morningside, Stockbridge, covering the EH postcode. Medieval Old Town, 18th century New Town, with Victorian and Edwardian expansion, which means there is always work to be done.
Local demand for opticians in Edinburgh centres on deteriorating vision, eye strain from screens, contact lens fitting. Enquiries tend to peak in September and January, though adults needing regular eye tests, parents with school-age children, contact lens wearers need help throughout the year. Being registered with General Optical Council (GOC), Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) builds trust, but visibility is what fills the diary.
Edinburgh has around 100-200 opticians competing for the same pool of customers. Most have either no website or one that does not rank. That is the gap we fill: a site that gets found, a profile that builds trust, and a system that makes sure no call goes unanswered.

Is there a long contract?
