Gyms & studios
Member sign-ups
Gym memberships are recurring revenue. A single new member acquired through SEO contributes £40-£80/month for the lifetime of their membership, typically 6-18 months for boutique studios, longer for established gyms. SEO that brings even 3-5 new members per month represents £1,800-£4,800 of new monthly recurring revenue, compounding as members stay.

Post-class review request workflow. Class-specific reviews (members raving about specific instructors or classes) drive new sign-ups faster than generic gym reviews.
Conversion-optimised landing page for your free trial offer. Built around mobile users searching at the gym (a third of "gym near me" searches happen within 1km of the gym).

Most gyms see Map Pack movement within 4-8 weeks. First SEO-sourced trial bookings typically arrive within 6-8 weeks. Significant predictable monthly member flow from SEO is established within 3-4 months.
Mostly independents. Our specialty is single-location independent gyms and boutique fitness studios, the segment most under-served by traditional fitness marketing agencies focused on national chains. We also work with small 2-5 location studio groups.
Yes, and this is exactly where local SEO works best. National chains rank for broad branded terms but rarely dominate Map Pack rankings for specific local areas. Independent gyms with strong reviews and local content can consistently outrank chains for "[town] gym" searches.
Single-location boutique studio: £449/month. Larger independent gym with multiple class types: £799/month. Multi-location gym group: from £1,200/month with location-specific SEO for each site. All retainers month-to-month.
