Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Wilson practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. Put insurance and payment options up front

    Median household income $52,485 (US $80,734). We would list plans accepted and financing options on every page of the website.

  2. Get into local search early

    Counting all seven provider groups on this page, Wilson has 17.1 NPI-registered providers per 10,000 residents; the US has 22.3. The thinnest group is optometrists, at 0.5 times the US rate. Fewer competitors to outrank: we would start with local SEO.

  3. Room to stand out for optometrists

    Wilson has 0.5 times the US number of NPI-registered optometrists per resident (one for every 9,914 residents). Fewer local competitors in search for a optometrist. See our marketing for optometrists.
