👁️

LASIK & Refractive Surgery Campaigns

LASIK, LASEK, SMILE, and lens replacement surgery — each procedure attracts a different patient profile and different search behaviour. We build dedicated campaigns per procedure with the right keywords, bid strategies, and landing pages to drive consultation bookings at your target cost.

👂

Hearing Aid & Audiology

The hearing aid market is growing as the UK population ages and awareness of private audiology services increases. We build campaigns targeting people experiencing hearing loss, those comparing hearing aid brands and prices, and patients who have been told by their GP that they need hearing aids.

👓

Contact Lens Campaigns

Monthly subscription contact lenses offer excellent customer lifetime value. We build both acquisition campaigns for new wearers — including those switching from glasses — and retention campaigns for your existing subscription base approaching renewal.

🔬

Specialist Eye Conditions

Cataracts, glaucoma monitoring, macular degeneration, diabetic eye screening — specialist eye condition campaigns require clinical language, trusted messaging, and careful compliance. We build these campaigns with appropriate tone and claim standards throughout.

📍

Local Optician Dominance

For independent opticians and small groups, local visibility is everything. We combine Google Ads with Google Business Profile optimisation, local ad extensions, and postcode-level geo-targeting to dominate your catchment area ahead of the national chains.

💰

High-LTV Patient Acquisition

A LASIK patient who becomes a contact lens subscriber, gets annual eye tests, and buys premium eyewear has a lifetime value running into thousands of pounds. We track campaigns all the way to initial conversion — and advise on how to build the full patient relationship from there.

01

Procedure & account audit

We review your procedure mix, current Google Ads account (or start fresh), and competitor activity. We benchmark your cost per consultation or booking against optical and audiology sector norms and identify the quickest wins.

Separate campaigns for LASIK, hearing aids, contact lenses, specialist eye conditions, and general optical appointments — each with its own keywords, ad copy, bid strategy, and landing page. No cross-contamination, full budget control.

03

Compliance review

Optical and audiology advertising is subject to ASA CAP code guidance, particularly around claims about visual outcomes, hearing improvement, and product efficacy. We review all ad copy and landing page claims before launch and flag anything that could trigger a complaint.

Optimise & scale

Weekly bid management, monthly search term reviews, and proactive seasonal planning — eye test season in September, hearing aid gifting around Christmas, LASIK summer surge. Monthly reports track cost per procedure enquiry with clear commentary.

Yes. ASA requires that LASIK advertising does not overstate outcomes, downplay risks, or use testimonials in a way that creates unrealistic expectations. Price promotions must be genuine and clearly explained. We write LASIK ad copy and review landing pages against current ASA CAP code guidance — and we're familiar with the rulings that have been made against UK optical advertisers in recent years.

Yes. Hearing aids are a significant growth category for Google Ads in the UK. We target a mix of branded searches (specific hearing aid models and manufacturers), condition-led searches ("hearing loss treatment", "private audiologist near me"), and comparison searches ("hearing aid cost UK"). Google's policies require care around medical claims, but hearing aid advertising is permitted with appropriate substantiation.

For LASIK and complex procedures, national campaigns can work well — patients will travel further for a trusted specialist. For contact lenses, general optical, and hearing aids, local targeting within 10–20 miles of your clinic is typically more cost-efficient. We often run both in parallel with separate budgets, so you can scale whichever delivers the better cost per acquisition.

LASIK campaigns typically see CPLs of £60–£120 for a qualified consultation enquiry in a well-managed account. CPCs for laser eye surgery terms can be high — £5–£15 — so landing page conversion rate is critical. A 5% landing page conversion rate changes the economics dramatically versus a 1–2% rate, which is why we always review and improve landing pages alongside the ad campaigns.

Yes. Multi-location optical groups are a core part of our healthcare PPC work. We build shared account structures with location-specific campaigns, centralised budget control at the group level, and per-location reporting so you can see which branches are performing and which need attention.

We set up conversion tracking for every step of your enquiry journey — form submissions, phone calls, online booking confirmations, and live chat enquiries. For high-value procedures like LASIK, we can also implement enhanced conversions that help Google's algorithm optimise toward your highest-quality enquiries, not just the highest volume.

HeroSEO is a specialist PPC agency for independent opticians and optical groups, running Google Ads campaigns for eye tests, contact lenses, glasses, and specialist eye care services.
