SEO for opticians

Twaino : An SEO agency for opticians

The optical market is sometimes a little volatile with trends that have not failed to oscillate especially in recent years. But overall, business for opticians in France is good, if not great

In 2020 alone, 21 million pairs of glasses were sold on the French market, which is an estimated 2,397 pairs sold every hour!

So yes, the demand is there and people are willing to pay a fortune to ensure good visual health

But a major part of these people who want to buy glasses, contact lenses or other optical instruments choose to do their research on the web

And what do we know about web traffic? Well, 93% of all recorded online experiences start from a search engine and 60% of internet users prefer to click on one of the first 3 search results.

Clearly, to truly grow your customer base and make significant profits in the optical market, you no longer have to rely solely on word-of-mouth or any other form of traditional marketing

As an independent optician, you must also rely on digital marketing, especially on SEO which remains the best solution in terms of sustainability and quality of traffic on the web

At Twaino, we are an SEO agency for opticians, able to improve the reputation of your establishment and generate new customers from search engines

But what is SEO in concrete terms? And how do we help our optician clients get more sales?

Let’s find out together!

What do we mean by SEO for opticians?

It would be easiest to start by understanding what we mean by SEO. Well, SEO is defined as Search Engine Optimization

The term is used to refer to the set of tools and strategies that can help optimize a site so that it occupies the top positions in search results

By improving the positioning of a website on search engine pages, SEO helps the referenced site to generate more traffic and convert its visitors into customers.

SEO also helps manage the reputation and credibility of a company’s brand online

Moreover, it is a proven digital marketing solution that offers the best return on investment

When we talk about SEO for opticians, our previous definition is still valid with the precision that all the strategies used will be adapted according to the opticians’ needs in terms of visibility on the Net.

To make it short, let’s say that a potential customer goes on Google to search for an optician or an optical store near his location. Your site is well optimized SEO, it appears in the top 3 search results that Google returns

The user clicks on the link to your site and before you know it, he shows up in your store on Monday to get advice and ends up buying a pair of glasses

Now imagine this same scenario repeating itself for several other queries such as

• Cheap Men’s Sunglasses
• Optician appointment
• Buy glasses
• Optical store nearby
• Etc.

Well, if your website could be well positioned on Google for such queries relevant to your business, your clientele and your turnover will be even greater.

1. Getting higher rankings in search results

The first benefit of SEO for opticians is to improve your optical center’s website rankings in search results

This is an extremely important benefit since sites that appear in the top three Google results capture 75.1% of all clicks the page may receive.

We could compare this presence in the top 3 to the image of a store located at the edge of a noisy street with passers-by flocking in all directions. It is obvious that it will be seen and visited more than a store located in a street where almost nobody passes

2. Strengthen your presence on the SERPs

It’s one thing to appear in the top 3 results, but the hardest thing is to stay there as long as possible.

The fact is that not all consumers will make a purchase decision on first contact. Some users will only contact you on the second visit or even more

That’s why it’s important to strengthen your presence on the SERPs so that you don’t miss these customers on their next visits

Moreover, appearing often in the top of Google rankings for important queries of your sector shows to Internet users the seriousness of your establishment and the good quality of services you offer

Far from all the sales pitches you can make today, trust is a decisive factor that pushes Internet users to consume your products

SEO for opticians will allow you to build this trust by strengthening your presence on several key queries on Google. This will improve the authority and awareness of your site

Your brand will be more considered as a reliable reference in the sector and users will be more inclined to contact you for any need in glasses or other optical instruments.

3. Generate more qualified traffic

The other benefit of SEO for opticians that is equally important is coming across people who are searching for your services or products online

With SEO, you can accurately target the keywords that users type in to search for your services and thus reach the ideal profile of visitors who are truly likely to buy your products

You may not know it, but a website selling eyeglasses can get traffic on the Net without recording sales proportional to the number of visitors obtained

So it’s not enough to get traffic, but quality traffic that can convert into sales for your optical store.

With SEO for opticians you can get that conversion and get the most out of your investment

1. Save valuable time

The first reason you will probably have already thought of is saving time. It is obvious that with all the responsibilities you have as an independent optician, you won’t be too available to take care of the SEO of your website

And that’s understandable, since considering all the important pages on your site and optimizing them one after another to rank high in Google results is time consuming, especially if you’re not experienced in SEO

In addition, these SEO efforts must be maintained, which means they must be constantly evaluated, tested and improved over time. That’s why it’s called “search engine optimization”

So it’s not a matter of hurrying efforts once in-house and crossing your arms. You must regularly update the adopted strategies and monitor the performance of the site

What better than an SEO agency to take care of this task effectively? That’s why it is recommended to entrust this task to experienced professionals to save time and better focus on other important tasks for your center

2. Get a better profitability

SEO is an arduous and time-consuming discipline due to its complexity. As a result, investing time and money to train a full-time in-house employee is often not cost-effective

The employee may not learn everything well or it may take several months to learn. And even if they did understand the basics of SEO, they won’t have enough opportunity to practice and gain the experience needed to run a successful SEO campaign

To avoid making rookie mistakes and to guarantee satisfactory results within a reasonable time frame, it would be wise to hire a team of professionals with several years of experience.

This is where outsourcing proves to be cost-effective, as your establishment will benefit from all the expertise of a seasoned SEO team at a lower cost, compared to the cost of training your own in-house team

Generally, an SEO agency is already made up of different actors specialized in different branches of SEO for a complete SEO service at a relatively affordable cost

In addition, unlike advertising campaigns that stop generating traffic once the ad is taken down, an SEO campaign lasting a few months can bring you customers and sales over several years.

3. Fast results

The other advantage of outsourcing the SEO of your website is to benefit from a well done and fast work especially if you already have a functional website with a certain online audience

The SEO agency will be able to quickly set up an efficient strategy to boost your current SEO performance and get quick results.

Moreover, if your site is new, with little online traffic, it will be an opportunity for the agency to establish a solid foundation to ensure a quality SEO service and sustainable over time

The SEO Audit

The SEO audit is the first step with which we systematically start our SEO campaigns for opticians. It is the first step because it is thanks to the SEO audit that we can determine the state of your website in order to develop a coherent and effective SEO action plan

Conducting an SEO campaign without starting with the SEO audit would be almost like putting the cart before the horse

• What are the “ills” of your website?
• How do you cure these ailments and prepare a “healthy” site for the rest of the campaign?
• What are the untapped assets of the site that could boost its performance?

These are all questions that our SEO experts will be able to answer clearly and effectively in order to evaluate your site’s performance and concoct a series of tailor-made strategies.

But technically, what do we do during the SEO audit? Well, it will essentially be about

• Reconsider and propose a new SEO friendly architecture for your website
• Lighten the loading speed of the pages of your site;
• Review the responsiveness of your site, that is to say, review its ability to adapt automatically on small and large screens
• Analyze the frequency of keyword insertion in your existing content
• Identify duplicate content
• Optimize the content of Title, Meta description and Hn tags (h1, h2, h3…)
• Analyze the backlink profile of your website
• Etc

A site audited by Twaino rhymes with the analysis of all these factors. And it is only at the end of the report that we can really decide on the situation of your site and propose an adapted strategy that effectively responds to your difficulties on the ground.

Keyword research

Keyword research is an essential step in which our SEO consultants are able to draw up a relevant list of terms and expressions that your target audience uses to search for opticians’ services on the web.

At first, keyword research will consist of generating a tentative list of terms and phrases to consider

But rushing to target the first few keywords listed would be a mistake that could squander our resources and ultimately produce a less than successful SEO campaign

That’s why we sort through several filters to make sure we choose the keywords that are truly relevant and beneficial to your site

For each keyword in the final list, we look for

• A good search volume
• A constant evolution of the search volume throughout the year;
• A satisfactory conversion rate
• Affordable SEO difficulty
• A good click-through rate.
• And so on

By checking all of these factors, we can ensure that we come up with a list of keywords that are truly relevant and beneficial to your website. With these hard-searching keywords, we can help you rank high on Google and reach the people who are really interested in your products and services.

Local SEO for opticians

Local Search Engine Optimization is also a form of SEO as it also aims to attract traffic from organic search engine results. But as its name indicates, we will focus exclusively on strategies that can help you appear in the first local results.

That is to say, optimize your site so that it is well ranked for queries such as

• Optical center near me
• Optician near me
• Optician appointment + THE NAME OF YOUR CITY
• Nearest optical store
• And so on

And for this, the work will be essentially to:

• Optimize your site for mobile devices
• Create local NAP citations;
• Manage reviews and comments
• Optimize images;
• Create and optimize the Google Business listing
• Etc

And for this, the work will be essentially to:

• Optimize your site for mobile devices
• Create local NAP citations;
• Manage reviews and comments
• Optimize images;
• Create and optimize the Google Business listing
• Etc

By properly applying all these strategies, we can attract users who are a few miles away from your establishment and who are looking for the services of an optician.

On Page Optimization

On-page optimization includes all the techniques that can be used directly on the pages of your website to improve their ranking in search results.

This is an important strategy because the higher your pages are ranked on Google, the more Internet users will trust you and the more your brand will be known

With our team of Local SEO experts, we will focus on your important pages such as service and contact pages, to make your center easily reachable and promote your optician services.

And for that, the work will be mainly to

• Restructure your web pages;
• Create or enhance the existing paragraphs to easily catch your visitors
• Expand the semantic field of the main keywords already targeted on your pages to cover other secondary keywords
• Optimize the images contained on your pages
• Review the size of page titles and meta descriptions;

Analysis and creation of backlinks

Backlinks are hyperlinks that allow a visitor to be redirected from one site to another, either to discover a content or to verify the accuracy of a quote or a statistic

When a site of authority points backlinks to another site, a part of its authority is also transmitted: it is called “link juice”

Backlinks are a very important factor in SEO because the more link juice you receive, the more your site’s Domain Authority increases.

That’s why we also carry out a backlinks campaign for our opticians customers. To help you gain quality backlinks, we use certain SEO techniques such as

• Writing guest articles;
• Link recovery ;
• Broken Link Building;
• The creation of infographics ;
• Link baiting;
• And more.

During the backlinks campaign, it will also be a question of removing all the existing backlinks that are of poor quality to prevent them from further ruining your SEO

Directory audit for opticians

Since you are a professional, it is recommended to register on directories dedicated to your profession

This will bring more visibility and credibility to your center and can generate up to 50% conversion rate.

But it is not enough to rush to all the directories you find and hope to improve the visibility of your site. On the contrary, search engines may suspect an attempt to cheat and punish you

This is why it is important to choose your directories carefully. Moreover, the registration to directories must be done correctly according to the recommendations of local SEO

• What about you? Which directory are you already listed on?
• What about the reliability of these directories?
• Maybe you haven’t even listed anywhere yet.

In any case, Twaino’s SEO experts can perform a directory audit to list the platforms where your site is present.

Your listings on unreliable directories will be revoked to prevent them from continuing to damage your reputation and SERP position

We will also suggest a list of relevant and reliable directories for opticians to diversify your traffic source

To help you take advantage of all these directories, we will also make sure that your listing forms are well configured

The creation of personalized content for optical centers

If I ask you to define what a blog is, you’ll probably tell me that it’s a way for influencers to get known

However, blogging is a marketing solution that concerns everyone and even opticians.

The fact is that in SEO, the more articles you publish, the more likely your site is to be chosen by search engines as an answer to the queries of Internet users

This is a proven strategy that is favored by 90% of B2C marketers.

It is because of its undisputed importance that we suggest the creation of a blog section to our optician clients

The idea is to publish free blog posts to hook your visitors before they discover your services and products, just like a bait and switch

At Twaino, we are an SEO agency, but also a web writing agency, as these two disciplines are intrinsically linked.

We can therefore take care of the creation and animation of your blog by producing detailed guides on recurring eye problems or the right attitudes to hold for good visual health.

Once these contents are carefully written, they will be entrusted to our SEO teams to optimize them into SEO Friendly contents
