Patient acquisition for eye-care practices

Before the exam room, there’s Google Search.

Your patients are already searching for LASIK, cataract surgery, cross-linking, and other procedures. I help your practice show up when they search and give them a clear path to contact you.

You didn’t choose ophthalmology to worry about ads.
You chose it to care for people’s vision.

Patients decide before they reach the chair

By the time someone searches for a specific procedure near them, they already know what they're looking for. What they haven't decided is where.

Before they book, they've often compared surgeons, read reviews, and checked whether you offer the procedure or lens they were told about.

Where practices lose them

  • A larger clinic shows up first.
  • The ad sends them to the homepage, not a page about the procedure.
  • The page doesn't answer candidacy or cost, so they leave.
  • Nobody can tell which searches turned into calls.
  • The inquiry sits until Monday.

Most practices have two or three of these gaps. Each one costs you patients you already paid to reach.

The four parts your practice needs to capture search demand

  • Google Search Ads

    Show up for the procedures patients in your market are already searching for. Each ad matches the search, not a generic clinic message.

  • Procedure landing pages

    Each procedure gets its own page, built around candidacy, cost, recovery, and the doctor. The page lives on your domain and doesn't change the rest of your website.

  • Call and form tracking

    You see which searches produced calls and form inquiries, not just clicks.

  • Your Google listing

    Stronger visibility for patients searching close to your practice.

Campaigns and pages in English or Spanish, where it helps.

Your first 30 days

  1. 1. Research

    I review your market, procedure mix, current Google presence, and what patients nearby are actually searching for.

  2. 2. Build

    I write the campaign, build the procedure landing page, and set up call and form tracking.

  3. 3. Launch

    You review everything before it goes live. I test the page, forms, and phone numbers on desktop and mobile, then check the campaign before launch.

  4. 4. Watch and adjust

    I monitor the searches coming in, block wasted spend, and adjust the ads and page based on what patients actually do.

After launch, you review it with me

Every month, we go over what happened, what changed, and what I recommend next. No account manager in between: you talk to the person doing the work.

  • Calls and form inquiries, broken down clearly
  • What patients near you are searching for
  • What I'm changing next, and why
  • Plain-language updates, no marketing jargon

A specialist, not a general agency

The clear difference of specialist marketing

Like blurry glasses, their ads miss the mark. They don't understand eye care or what makes your practice unique.

Patient. Strategist. Eye care ally.

I've been on the patient side of this search

At 17, I was diagnosed with keratoconus. I had corneal crosslinking and spent years in specialty eye care, including RGP lenses and the long follow-up that comes with them.

I know what it's like to search for answers, compare doctors, read reviews, and hope you've picked someone who understands your case.

Later I built my career in marketing, much of it in eye care. Eyemplify comes from both sides: the patient who knows the uncertainty, and the marketer who knows how to turn those searches into booked consults.

Built for private eye-care practices

I work with eye-care practices that want a clearer, more predictable flow of new patients.

A good fit

  • Ophthalmologists and private eye-care clinics
  • LASIK and refractive surgery practices
  • Cataract, cornea, retina, and glaucoma specialists
  • Oculoplastic and eyelid practices
  • Optometrists

Not a fit

  • Hospitals and large health systems
  • Practices outside eye care
  • General marketing work

One practice per area. I don't run competing campaigns for two practices in the same market, so your budget never bids against another client of mine.

Start with the part your practice actually needs

Some practices already have strong procedure pages. Others already have paid media covered. I don't bundle work you don't need.

Focused Insight

$900/month

For practices that have patient acquisition covered but want a consistent, credible social presence.

  • Monthly content strategy and planning
  • Social copywriting and creative direction
  • Branded posts, carousels, short-form video, and practice updates as needed
  • Procedure education and patient-facing content
  • Scheduling and publishing
  • Content adapted to the platforms that matter most to your practice
  • Monthly review with me

The content mix changes with your goals, audience, and what is happening inside the practice. I don't force every client into the same posting formula.

Paid social campaigns, on-site production, and full inbox or community management are scoped separately.

Precision Focus

From $1,250/month + ad spend

For practices with strong existing pages that want Google Search managed properly.

  • Google Search campaign strategy and management
  • Keyword and search-term research
  • Ad copy and testing
  • Call and form tracking
  • Ongoing monitoring and budget adjustments
  • Landing-page recommendations
  • Monthly review with me
  • Plain-language reporting

Your media budget is paid directly to Google. I never mark it up.

The Clear View

From $2,500/month + ad spend

For practices that want one person managing the path from patient search to inquiry, plus ongoing social content.

Everything in Precision Focus, plus:

  • Procedure landing-page copy, design, and development
  • New campaign pages as procedure priorities expand
  • Ongoing landing-page improvements
  • Google listing alignment
  • Social media strategy, content creation, and publishing
  • Patient education, procedure content, and practice updates
  • Content adapted to the channels that matter most to your practice
  • English and Spanish where it helps
  • Monthly strategy and performance review directly with me

Your Google Ads budget is paid directly to Google and is never marked up.

Prices in USD.

Not sure which fits?

Tell me your market, the procedures you want to grow, and what you already have in place.

I'll recommend the smallest scope that actually makes sense.

Already have strong landing pages? Precision Focus and Focused Insight can be combined without adding web work.

Multiple locations or a larger scope? I'll build the engagement around the locations, procedures, and channels you actually need.

Third-party costs such as domains, hosting, tracking software, or other required tools are paid separately and never marked up.

90 days to start. After that, month to month with 30 days' notice.

Discounted founding rates are available for my first three Eyemplify practices.

In exchange, I'll ask for permission to document the campaign as a case study after the first 90 days, with your approval on anything published.

Ask me about founding terms on the call.

The Eyemplify Guarantee

Your only focus? Perfecting vision. Leave the patient search to me.

  • Ongoing optimization, always included

    Your campaigns are constantly improved to boost results, no surprise fees. If something underperforms, I don't pause, I refine it, fast and at no extra cost.

  • Flexible partnership

    I ask for 90 days to start, so campaigns have time to reach full strength. After that, it's month to month with 30 days' notice.

  • A real partner, not an AI script

    No blurry answers, no bots. You'll work directly with me, not automation. A real partner who sees what matters and helps you grow with clarity.

Support. Strategy. 20/20 Growth.

  • No competing clinics in sight

    I work with only one clinic per area. No overlapping campaigns, your growth gets 100% of my focus.

  • See the results, feel the support.

    Clear updates, simple reports. I'll keep improving your campaigns until your calendar shows it's working.

  • Patient-first perspective

    As someone diagnosed with keratoconus, I've been on the patient side of the exam room.

Questions practices usually ask

How soon will I see results?

Ads start showing for real searches within days of launch. How many inquiries you get depends on your market, procedure, and budget. The first 90 days are for learning what works and cutting what doesn't.

Do I need a new website?

No. Procedure landing pages live on your domain, for example lasik.yourpractice.com, and your current website stays as it is.

Do I keep control of my ad account?

Yes. The Google Ads account is yours and billed to your card. I work inside it, and you can remove my access anytime.

Will you work with other practices in my area?

No. I take one practice per area, so I'm never running campaigns that compete with yours.

Do I need to understand marketing?

No. You get a plain-language update each month: inquiries, what patients are searching, and what I'm changing next.

Who will I work with?

Me. There's no account manager or outsourced team in between.

Do you work in Spanish?

Yes. I write campaigns and landing pages in English or Spanish, depending on your patients.

What if I want to stop?

After the first 90 days, it's month to month with 30 days' notice. Your ad account, pages, and data stay with you.

Do I need a big budget to start?

Not at all. I customize every campaign based on your goals, location, and local competition. Whether you're in a major city or a smaller town, I'll help you get the most out of a budget that works for you.

Your next patient is already searching

Tell me your city and the procedure you want to grow. On a 15-minute call, I'll show you what patients near you are searching for and where your practice shows up today.
