3. Why Local SEO?
Searchers are directed to most
RELEVANT, LOCAL products and
services according to the keywords or
phrase they typed into search bar.
Average person won’t go past page 1
on a Google search.
Higher value placed on organic search
results rather than top of page ads.

4. What local SEO is NOT
It is NOT optimizing your club name.
Unless two clubs in the same
geographic area have the same name,
you probably already come up #1 in
search when someone types in your
club name.
The goal is having your club come up
with RELATED fitness searches.
