Why Facebook and Instagram ads work for optometrists
Eye exams are recurring and families need them every year, but many people put them off. Facebook reminders, frame promotions and specialty services like dry eye treatment and myopia control for children bring patients in.
Health and wellness tracking rules
Meta may restrict health advertisers from optimizing for lower-funnel events. I check Events Manager for restrictions and plan campaigns around permitted events and lead forms.
Common problems I fix
- Competition from retail chains
- Seasonal swings
- Low exam reminders
