SEO
Search Engine Optimization is a score of how high you rank in an organic search. The goal is to have a high SEO score, so you can reach a broader audience and make it easier for people to find you. Social media optimization of posts is used with hashtags related to your posts, like #eyecare or #patientcare, to reach more people outside your page's current following.

Consistency, consistency, consistency! We recognize committing to posting regularly on your socials can take up a bit of your time, but you can ask your patients' for help. UGC (user-generated content) is popular in the influencer social media realm. It can be as simple as creating a hashtag for optical and offering 10% off their purchase when posting a selfie with their new purchase. Once your business is notified in a tag, you can repost the content. UGC is great exposure and free marketing for your business when minimal time and effort on your end.
