Optometry & Eye Care

Annual Eye Exam Patients Are Your Most Predictable Revenue Stream — If You Keep Them Coming Back.

LensCrafters and Costco Optical are taking your annual exam patients — not because they're better, but because they have a recall system and you might not. We fix that, and we get you ranking in Google when new patients search for an eye doctor near them.

Annual exam patients don't leave because they're unhappy — they leave because no one reminded them to come back.

01
Patients Drifting to LensCrafters and Costco
Optical chains have aggressive recall systems — text reminders, email sequences, loyalty programs. Independent optometry practices often rely on patients to remember to book on their own. 60% of patients who don't receive a recall reminder schedule their next exam somewhere more convenient.
02
No System for Annual Exam Recall
You provided a great exam. The patient left happy. And then nothing — until they call you a year later (if they remember), or until an optical chain's text message reaches them first. A HIPAA-compliant recall system is the single highest-ROI marketing investment for any optometry practice.
03
Invisible in Google for "Eye Exam Near Me"
New patients in your area are searching "eye exam near me," "optometrist accepting VSP," and "contact lens fitting [your city]" every day. If your Google Business Profile isn't optimized and you're not in the Map Pack, those patients walk into an optical chain instead of your office.
How it works

Keep the Patients You Have. Win the New Ones Searching Online.

We build two things for your eye care practice: a recall system that keeps existing patients returning year after year, and an online presence that wins new patients from local search.

Step 01

We Audit Your Online Presence and Retention Gap

Free 20-minute call. We review your Google ranking for eye exam and optometrist searches in your market, your Healthgrades and Zocdoc profiles, your current review scores, and your existing patient recall process. You'll see clearly where new patients are finding competitors instead of you — and where existing patients are slipping away.

Step 02

We Build Your Retention and Acquisition System

A HIPAA-compliant annual recall sequence that goes out before a patient's exam anniversary — via text, email, or both. Optimized insurance acceptance content for VSP, EyeMed, and Spectera. Google Map Pack optimization for eye exam, optometrist, and contact lens searches. Review acquisition that builds your Google and Healthgrades ratings. Online appointment booking that converts a website visit into a scheduled slot.

Step 03

Your Schedule Fills From Two Directions

Live dashboard showing new patient bookings, recall response rates, review volume, and Google ranking. Monthly report in plain language. You see exactly how many patients your recall system is bringing back — and how many new patients found you through Google.

★★★★★

"We were losing annual exam patients to the Costco optical down the road. The recall system alone brought back patients I thought we'd lost for good. And we went from basically invisible on Google to ranking second for 'eye exam near me' in our area."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?

Pricing depends on your market and how much you want to cover, and plans start around the low hundreds per month. There are no long-term contracts, no setup fees, and you can cancel anytime. We scope it on your free strategy call so you only pay for what your practice actually needs, whether that is recall, Google Map Pack work, or both.

How long until I start seeing more eye exam patients booked?

Annual exam recall usually moves first, since it reaches patients you already have. Most practices see returning patients within the first month or two of the sequence going live. Local search takes longer to compound, but Map Pack placement for eye exam searches typically lands inside a couple of months. We report progress monthly in plain language, no jargon.

What do you actually do for my optometry practice each month?

We run a HIPAA-compliant annual exam recall sequence by text and email, optimize your Google Business Profile for eye exam, optometrist, and contact lens searches, build insurance acceptance content for VSP, EyeMed, and Spectera, run review acquisition for Google and Healthgrades, tune your Zocdoc profile, and wire up online booking. You get a live dashboard plus a monthly report.

How is AVBOOST different from a big agency or doing this myself?

Big agencies hand you a junior account manager and a generic playbook. DIY means recall and reviews fall to the bottom of your list during clinic hours. We focus only on local businesses like eye care practices, we know the optical chain pressure you face, and we build the recall and search systems for you so you can stay in the exam lane.

Are your recall and review processes HIPAA-compliant for patient data?

Yes. Every recall sequence and review request runs through HIPAA-compliant workflows, so reminders and outreach stay inside the boundaries patient health information requires. We handle the messaging mechanics around exam anniversaries without exposing protected details, and we set things up so your front desk is not stuck manually scrubbing lists or worrying about what is safe to send.

What is the first step to getting started?

Book a free 20-minute strategy call. We audit your Google ranking for eye exam and optometrist searches in your area, review your Healthgrades and Zocdoc profiles, check your review scores, and look at your current recall process. You will see exactly where new patients are finding chains instead of you and where existing patients are slipping away. No obligation.
