Google Ads for opticians

Someone who wants a Saturday eye test needs the right branch and a real time. Count attended exams separately from people who only open directions.

Separate eye tests from dispensing

Eye tests and optical services

Separate eye test bookings from dispensing and specialist services. Match ads to available branches and appointment slots.

Qualify and measure enquiries

Measure attended appointments by branch. Keep clicks to directions separate from confirmed bookings.

Match ads to branches with slots

If one branch has Saturday tests and another does not, the ads should know the difference. A directions click is not an eye test.

Visits that fill the diary differently

An eye test

Show the branch and the times. Pause days that are booked.

Contact lenses or a specialist clinic

Only if you offer them and have appointments. Give them a page of their own.

Frames and designer brands

Browsing is not a test. Keep it out of the appointment budget unless retail is the goal and you can measure a visit.

What to measure

Attended appointments by branch. Keep ‘how do I get there?’ separate from a booking.

What this looks like in practice

People looking for a Saturday eye test need to see the right branch and available times. Count attended exams separately from people who open directions or call to ask about frames.

Questions before you spend on ads

Which eye test bookings should count in the report?

Use attended appointments by branch alongside confirmed bookings. Keep requests for directions and questions about frames separate.

How do I work out what I paid for the work?

Add Google ad spend and management fees, then divide that by the number of attended eye tests linked to those ads. Include any setup fee in a separate first-month calculation. Use the same period for spend and results, and keep repeat calls, cancellations and unfinished enquiries out of the final count.

Run the numbers for your budget

Questions from local owners

Should every branch share one campaign?

Only if they have the same services and the same free slots. Otherwise split them.

What should the page show?

Which branch, what the test includes, and how to book a time that exists.

What is a result?

An attended eye test, by branch.
