FAQs

  • SEO helps your fitness business appear where your potential members are searching—on Google, Google Maps, and now in AI-powered tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. When your site is optimized properly, your business is more likely to be included in these results when people search for terms like “best gym near me” or “personal training for moms.” This visibility drives high-intent traffic and turns searchers into members.

  • Most fitness businesses see big improvements in website traffic within 1–3 months, and big improvements in leads and new member inquiries within 3–6 months or faster. SEO builds momentum over time, but we focus on quick wins and long-term growth. We also optimize your content to appear in Google Search and in AI-powered tools (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity), where an increasing number of consumers are now getting local recommendations.

  • We’re not a generic SEO agency—we’re a Fitness & Gym SEO partner. We focus on what matters most to fitness businesses: driving new members, online leads, and revenue. Our founder, Jesse McFarland, is a long-time digital marketer and a former fitness business owner, so we understand this industry inside and out. We also stay on the cutting edge of both SEO and LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization)—helping you appear not only in Google, but in AI search results where more people now ask for fitness recommendations.

  • Both channels work well together. Paid ads can give you immediate visibility, while SEO drives sustainable, lower-cost leads over time—especially as your business starts appearing in Google search results and AI models like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Many fitness consumers now use AI chat tools to ask for local recommendations. The best strategy: build a strong SEO foundation while using paid ads strategically to boost short-term visibility.

    1. We work with fitness businesses of all types, including:

    • Large gyms and health clubs

    • Boutique studios (yoga, cycling, martial arts, group training, Pilates, CrossFit)

    • Personal trainers (in-person and online)

    • Online coaching businesses & fitness membership platforms

    • Fitness apps & e-commerce brands (supplements, gear, apparel)

  • Yes. Optimizing your Google Business Profile is one of the most effective ways to drive leads, phone calls, and map visibility for fitness businesses. We include this in our Local SEO plan and also ensure your business is well-positioned for inclusion in Google AI Overviews and other emerging AI-powered local search tools.

    1. Our Fitness SEO service is a complete solution designed to drive leads and revenue. It includes:

  • No—we offer flexible engagement options. Many of our fitness clients start with an initial 6-month engagement, but they stay with us long term because we deliver results—not because they’re locked into a contract.

  • We offer a variety of SEO plans based on your competition, goals, and what we uncover during your initial SEO audit. Some gyms in smaller markets may only need basic optimization, while more competitive metro areas often require a more aggressive SEO strategy. Our Fitness SEO plans start at $500–$600 per month, and we’ll recommend the right plan for your business based on what it will take to drive results.
