Optometry poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own services. What customers find confusing is exactly what your site should be answering.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

The practice that explains

The chains taught the public to expect a sales script. An independent that publishes what people think glasses should cost, and explains the markup honestly, wins on the one thing that cannot be discounted.

Where should it go on a optometry practice website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the pricing page, the eye test page, the frames page, the appointment reminder, and the aftercare follow up.

The frames markup problem

Glasses cost a fraction of what they sell for and the industry does not enjoy discussing it. We price ours differently and we would like to know what people assume they should cost.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do independent opticians compete with the chains?

On transparency, which chains cannot match. Publishing what the public thinks glasses should cost, alongside an honest explanation of frames markup, positions you as the practice that explains rather than the one that sells.

What should an optometry website have besides appointment booking?

Answers to what customers find confusing: lens coatings, frames pricing, whether extras are worth it. It is the conversation people wish someone would have with them.

Can this bring patients back for recalls?

A how-overdue-is-your-test slider is a surprisingly effective nudge, because people answer it as a joke and then book.

Is any patient data involved?

None. Anonymous single taps with no accounts and no clinical information, entirely separate from patient records.
