An optometrist is a medical professional trained in the care of the eye, as well as providing diagnostics and treatment for eye problems and diseases. Most work in private practices, though some work at hospitals.

Optometrists treat a range of problems like conjunctivitis, cataracts, glaucoma, and traumatic injuries. Most assist in vision correction with glasses, contacts, or LASIK surgery.

All are licensed healthcare professionals that contribute to an increased quality of life, by helping patients see better.

What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a term used to describe a variety of tools and techniques that assist a website in appearing on the front pages of search engines. SEO has the highest and fastest return on investment for advertising because it makes your website available to the specific demographic searching for your business. In simple terms, a prospective patient needs a new optometrist, so they jump online and search for one in their area. Your site comes up in the top five, so they click on it. Before you know it, they’re in the office on Monday for an eye exam. Good SEO helps you come up on the first page of results for specific search terms or keywords. The higher your site appears, the more traffic it gets. Easy, right?
