Websites for Opticians
A practice site that books eye tests while you are in clinic, from £300 a month.
Independent opticians compete with chains whose marketing budgets you cannot match, on a high street where footfall keeps falling. The fight you can win is local search: "opticians near me", "eye test [town]", "contact lens fitting". Those searches favour whoever is structured best, not whoever spends most.
Why independents lose patients to the chains online
The chains rank on structure, not service
Specsavers ranks everywhere because its site is engineered for it. An independent with proper service pages and local signals can beat the branch page for its own town.
Your differences are invisible
Longer tests, better frames, actual continuity of care: if the site does not say it plainly, the searcher assumes you are the same but pricier.
Booking friction loses the evening searcher
People book eye tests when they notice the squint, usually at night. An online booking or request form captures them; "call us in opening hours" does not.
What we build for an optical practice
A complete coded site with every page written before launch, wired for local search from the start, at no upfront cost.
Eye tests, contact lenses, OCT scans, children’s eye care and specialist services, each on its own page.
Online booking integration where you have it, a fast request form where you do not.
The ranges you carry, presented properly, because frame searches bring in exactly the patients independents want.
Google Business Profile, schema and reviews flow so "opticians near me" resolves to you in your town.
SEO for opticians: winning your own high street
The target is narrow and valuable: the map pack for your town plus the service searches around it. That is earned monthly through profile activity, reviews and content, and most independents have never had anyone do that work consistently.
It is included here. The site is built free as part of the subscription and the local optimisation runs every month.

How much does an optician website cost?+
From £300 a month on Rental with £0 upfront, including the build, hosting, all content and monthly SEO. Rent-to-Own is £500 a month and the site is yours in about two years.
Can you integrate our booking system?+
Yes, we link or embed whatever you run. If you book by phone only, we build a request form that captures the patient while the practice is closed.
Can we sell frames online?+
The core build is practice-led rather than e-commerce, which suits how independents actually win: the eye test relationship. If online frame sales matter to you, raise it in the mockup request and we will scope it honestly.
Do you only work with Bristol practices?+
No. We are built in Bristol and work with businesses across the South West and beyond.
