Working Bournemouth as an optician
7 miles of sandy beaches, retirement destination, two universities, digital creative sector. For opticians that means a steady flow of work, but also a steady flow of competition. South coast resort climate; among the warmest and sunniest in the UK, mild winters. The trades that are visible on Google get the lion's share of the local market.
In Bournemouth, the catchment for opticians includes Winton, Queens Park, Charminster, and the wider BH area. Calls for children's eye tests and deteriorating vision make up the bulk of what comes through the door.
What We Do
Here is what we tell opticians working Bournemouth and the surrounding areas when they ask the obvious question. The Google ranking for optician searches in Bournemouth is decided by the things most opticians never touch. We handle the entire online side of your business so you do not have to. That means a website rebuild if your current one is broken or slow, your Google profile sorted out and run weekly, automatic review requests going out after each job, missed-call recovery so dropped calls turn into texts, real SEO work every week, and a monthly performance report you can actually read on a phone.
For opticians in Bournemouth, the version of this we run looks like weekly Google profile updates with photos from real optician jobs, four blog posts a month written for the searches opticians customers actually use, and a monthly performance report you can read on a phone.
If you are an optician, you already know the bread and butter: contact lens fitting and deteriorating vision, with eye strain from screens when the season turns. Adults needing regular eye tests, parents with school-age children, contact lens wearers, which means opticians need to be findable when those exact searches happen.
Why Opticians Lose Calls Around Here
For opticians working Bournemouth (especially around Moordown and Charminster), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns optician owners about. Most opticians in Bournemouth are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. When you ask happy customers how they'd find someone like you, almost all of them say Google. So if Google isn't showing your business, the work goes to whoever it is showing. Doesn't matter how good you are at the actual job.
Real Clients We Already Run
Opticians in Bournemouth are competing with 25-50 other listings for the same calls. Here is what separates the busy opticians from the ones whose phones have gone quiet. Right now we run online presence for seven UK businesses: plumbers in Pontyclun, Nottingham and Cheshunt, a heating engineer in Liverpool, another near Battle, a paving company in Staines, and a bathroom fitter in Blackpool. Real businesses, real card payments every month.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
The SEO bit covers: keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO (site speed, schema, sitemaps), Google Business Profile management, citation building, and monthly ranking reports. All of it is included, no add-ons.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Every missed call gets an automatic text within seconds. The script is plain and human (we wrote it ourselves, it does not say 'this is an automated message'). Most callers reply within minutes and book a callback.
Review Automation
The reply rate sits around 30% across our existing clients, which is roughly five to six times what owners get when they ask in person. Most owners forget to ask half the time anyway.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
£199 setup, £199 per month. No surprise fees, no annual contract. Less than £6.70 a day. One job from Google pays for the month.
What do you actually do every month?
We replace four jobs you would normally pay separately for: web designer (£2k-5k one-off), SEO agency (£500-1,500/month), review automation app (£40-100/month), and missed-call answering service (£50-150/month). All bundled into one price.
Do I need to do anything technical?
If you can text us a logo and a few photos of your work, you have done your bit. Everything else, including the boring technical stuff like SSL certificates and search console setup, is on us.
What if I already have a website?
We work with what you have got. If your current website is broken or slow, we rebuild it. If it is fine, we keep it and just sort out the SEO and Google profile. Your domain stays the same either way.
How long until I see results?
Honest answer: anyone who guarantees specific numbers is lying to you. We can guarantee the work gets done properly. The missed-call text-back system pays for itself the first time you save a job. SEO results take longer, usually three to six months for meaningful movement.
Can I cancel?
After three months you can cancel any time, no notice period, no exit fees. The website is yours to keep. We transfer the domain and the site to whoever you want.
