Google Ads vs Facebook Ads for Eye Care Centres

On Google, intent is the targeting layer. A user who searches 'eye care centres & opticians services' has announced exactly what they want, so every click represents pre-qualified demand. A recurring pain point is that diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma screening opportunities are missed for lack of patient outreach

Facebook Ads targets people, not queries. By matching age, income, location and interests, it introduces your eye care centres & opticians brand to prospects who would never have searched for you.

For eye care centres & opticians businesses, the right strategy is almost always both: Google captures the person ready to buy while Facebook builds awareness and retargets non-converters.
