Rank for “gym near me” and the program searches where people actually commit.
People search when motivation peaks — January, pre-summer, Monday morning. Being visible at the moment of resolve wins the tour.
“CrossFit [area],” “women's strength classes,” “boxing gym near me” — program searches carry commitment. A page per program captures each one.
Real member photos, coach bios, and honest reviews sell what big-box marketing can't — belonging. That's what converts the click into a tour.
Hey, I'm Connor. Fitness is my own world — and gym search is won by specificity and community proof, exactly where independents beat the franchises. I'm a SEMrush-certified SEO consultant with an MBA from SMU's Cox School of Business, based in Tampa and working with gyms nationwide. You work with me directly — no account managers, no contracts.
Full technical audit to find what's keeping high-value clients from finding your firm.
Target how clients actually search — firm type, project type, and location, like "residential architect [city]."
Fast, crawlable, mobile-clean pages — the plumbing that lets a portfolio actually rank.
Project pages, service pages, and guides written for how clients evaluate architects.
Citations and links from design, construction, and local publications that move rankings.
Profile, reviews, and neighborhood visibility — where the “near me” decision actually happens.
I review your technical health, rankings, backlinks, and competitors to find the biggest opportunities — the platform supports the audit; the judgment is mine.
A clear roadmap: keyword targets, project pages to build, technical fixes, and link strategy — in the order that moves revenue first.
Month-to-month execution with plain-English reporting. You always know what was done, what moved, and what's next.
Work directly with me. No contracts — cancel any time. Every engagement starts with the free audit, and I'll recommend the right tier for your firm's authority.
90-Day Guarantee. A 20% lift across the five key visibility metrics in your first 90 days. Month to month, cancel any time. Price is set by your Domain Authority, not your budget. Not sure where you land? Take the free DA quiz.
Big-box gyms rank generic; studios win “[program] near me” where the searcher has already chosen a style of training.
A dedicated, honest trial or day-pass page turns motivated searchers into scheduled visits — the metric that becomes memberships.
Aggregator apps sell your classes at a discount and keep the member data. Direct visibility fills your funnel on your terms.
Very well — demand is local and recurring, motivation spikes are predictable, and program-level searches are winnable against any franchise budget.
“Gym near me” and neighborhood terms, each program you run, and trial-offer searches. Programs are pages, not a schedule PDF.
Specificity and community — franchises can't rank for every program niche or show your coaches and members. That's the whole lane.
Local visibility often moves in 1–3 months — ideally timed to land before the next motivation season.
No. Everything is month-to-month, and every engagement starts with the free audit so you can see the opportunity before spending anything.
I do. You work with me directly — no account managers, no outsourcing. That's the entire model.
