Three structural gaps that prevent optometry groups from scaling marketing as fast as they scale acquisitions.

Brand inconsistency across acquired practices

The doctor's name is still on the signage. The old practice website is still live. The Google Business Profile lists a doctor who left two years ago. Every acquired practice you fold into the group carries its own legacy digital footprint — mismatched review profiles, outdated NAP data, and brand voice that has nothing to do with what you're building. Across 15, 30, or 60 locations, that inconsistency compounds into a group identity that doesn't exist at the patient search level.

GBP and review chaos at the practice level

Each acquired practice has its own Google Business Profile — some claimed, some not, some claimed by former doctors who no longer respond. Review requests aren't happening because nobody owns the post-appointment follow-up at the location level. Negative reviews sit unanswered for weeks. A practice with 4.6 stars and 180 reviews pulls 3× the walk-in volume of an identical practice with 3.9 stars and 22 reviews. That gap is entirely manageable — and almost nobody in the group is managing it.

No per-practice new patient acquisition reporting

You know group-level revenue. You don't know which practices are pulling their weight on new patient volume and which ones are coasting on retention. You can't tell whether a practice is underperforming because of a market problem, a GBP problem, a review problem, or a paid acquisition problem — because there's no reporting that separates them. Every quarter you're flying blind on where to invest and where to intervene.

Passenger and Partner tier deliverables for optometry groups scaling past 10 locations.

  • GBP + review management at the practice level
    Every practice location's Google Business Profile claimed, verified, and optimized — correct doctor names, accurate hours, procedure categories, and photo sets. Post-appointment review request sequences deployed per location. Response management across Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, and Zocdoc. Monthly review velocity reporting by practice. New acquisitions onboarded within 14 days of close.
  • Paid acquisition — Google + Meta, eye exam and frame promotion targeting
    Unified campaign architecture across all locations with per-market budget routing. Eye exam appointment campaigns, VSP/EyeMed insurance targeting, frame promotion seasonal pushes — all managed in one system with per-location performance tracking. No practice running its own unmonitored Google Ads account. No budget waste from locations bidding against each other in overlapping markets.
  • Local SEO per practice
    Per-practice keyword optimization for "eye doctor near me," "optometrist [city]," and service-specific searches (contact lens fitting, dry eye treatment, pediatric eye care). NAP consistency audit and correction across all major directories. Local pack rankings tracked and reported per location monthly. New locations added to the SEO system within two weeks of acquisition close.
  • Content and social cadence across practices
    Brand-approved content calendar deployed across all practice social channels — group-level brand voice with local market customization. Doctor introduction posts for newly acquired practices that ease the transition for existing patients. Seasonal content (back-to-school eye exams, November dry eye awareness, January insurance reset) timed and posted at the group level without requiring individual practice coordination.
  • Attribution reporting per practice + per doctor
    One dashboard showing new patient lead volume, cost per acquisition, channel attribution, and review velocity per location — with doctor-level breakdowns where relevant for practices with multiple ODs. Monthly board-ready summary with portfolio-level and unit-level performance. Answering the question "which practices are underperforming on new patient acquisition and why" in two minutes, not two weeks.

Built for optometry rollups — not single-practice operators.

PE-backed group experience

We've run marketing systems for PE-backed multi-location operators across healthcare, franchise, and service verticals. We know what a board wants to see, we know how to structure attribution reporting for a portfolio, and we know how to build a marketing system that survives acquisition pace — not one that needs to be rebuilt every time you add locations.

Per-practice reporting

Every client on Passenger or Partner gets a monthly report broken down by individual location — new patient lead volume, cost per acquisition, channel attribution, review velocity, and local search rankings. You can see which practices are outperforming, which are underperforming, and why, without aggregating data from 12 different vendor portals. One report. Every practice. Every month.

Doctor-led brand transitions

Acquired practices come with a doctor's name on the door, a loyal patient base built around that doctor, and a community presence that took years to build. Our acquisition onboarding process transitions the brand to the group identity while protecting patient retention — new messaging, new signage coordination, updated digital profiles, and a content arc that introduces the group without erasing what made the practice trusted in its market.

What groups ask before they start.

How long before we see results across the group?
GBP and review management improvements show up in local pack rankings within 4–6 weeks for locations with data gaps. Paid acquisition campaigns are typically generating leads within 10 days of going live. Full portfolio-level reporting — where you can see per-practice attribution and cost-per-acquisition — is operational by the end of month one. Most groups see measurable new patient volume lift within 60 days.
Are there long-term contracts or lock-in periods?
No annual contracts. We work on a rolling monthly basis. In practice, groups stay because the system works — not because they're contractually obligated. We do ask for a 60-day notice period on cancellation so we can properly transition campaign ownership and data access back to your team without disrupting active campaigns or losing historical performance data.
We already have an agency managing some of our locations — how does that overlap work?
We handle the transition. When we onboard a group, we audit all existing vendor relationships, identify what's working and what's redundant, and coordinate a handoff timeline that doesn't drop any active campaigns. Some groups consolidate everything to us at once; others transition location by location as agency contracts expire. Either works — we've done both. The goal is one system, not a committee of vendors.
We have an in-house marketing person — is this additive or a replacement?
Additive in most cases. Your in-house person typically owns internal communications, patient experience content, and the things that require day-to-day access to your EHR and ops data. We own the external acquisition system — paid media, GBP management, local SEO, review velocity, and the attribution reporting layer. Most groups find their in-house person is more effective once they stop doing the technical marketing infrastructure that was never a good fit for one person to manage across 15+ locations.
