The Challenge
What Was Holding Them Back
Khatib Eye Clinic had a loyal patient base but needed a website that matched their clinical excellence and could attract new patients searching for eye care services online.
1No website presence — clinic was invisible to patients searching for eye doctors in Pune online
2Patients could not find clinic timings, services, or doctor credentials without calling
3Competing eye hospitals like Ruby Hall and Sankara had comprehensive websites capturing digital traffic
4LASIK and cataract surgery patients research extensively online before choosing a clinic
5No mechanism for online appointment scheduling — all bookings required phone calls
6Younger patient demographic expected digital-first clinic interactions
Our Approach
The Strategy
Design a patient-friendly website that reduces phone call burden, educates patients about eye procedures, and captures online appointment bookings with local SEO optimization.

Build an intuitive, accessible website reflecting clinical expertise and patient care
Content Development
Create detailed procedure pages for cataract, LASIK, retina, and pediatric eye care
Local SEO

Online Booking

We designed the website with accessibility as a priority — large fonts, high contrast, and simple navigation suitable for older patients with vision issues. Each procedure page was written to answer the questions patients actually ask during consultations, effectively pre-qualifying visitors before they book.

Eye Clinic Websites Must Prioritize Accessibility
An eye clinic's website should be the most accessible healthcare website on the internet. Large fonts, high contrast, and simple navigation aren't optional — they're essential for the patient demographic.
Answer Phone Questions on Your Website
Identifying and answering the top 20 phone questions on the website reduced call volume by 40%, freeing receptionist time for patient care instead of information dispensing.
Online Booking Unlocks After-Hours Appointments
35% of online bookings came outside clinic hours — patients who would have been lost without 24/7 online scheduling. Convenience converts.
Local SEO Is the Highest-ROI Channel for Clinics
Ranking in Google's local pack for 'eye clinic pune' drives more qualified patients than any paid advertising channel at zero ongoing cost.
