Where a Barrie clinic usually starts
The biggest gap we saw in Barrie was online booking among optometry clinics: 60% of homepages had none we could find, against 44% across the cities we checked. If your clinic is one of them, start there. Most booking software already includes a public booking page, so it is usually a settings job, not a new website. See online booking.
Everything else we do is on our services page, and how we work explains the audit, the fixed fix and monthly care.
