Three things killing your member growth right now
Your Google Business Profile sits at position 5–8 in local search. When someone in your suburb types “gym near me,” they see Anytime, Plus Fitness, and Jetts before they see you. You don’t get the click.
Your Google Ads are optimised for clicks, not members. You’re paying for traffic nobody measured, because calls, form fills, and bookings were never wired up as conversions.
You’re over-reliant on referrals to keep the lights on. When word-of-mouth slows, you can’t turn on a tap. Off-peak classes stay empty. Growth becomes a guessing game.
This is built for you if:
You’re doing $30K–$100K/month and growth has plateaued
Most new members still come from referrals or walk-ins
You’ve tried Google Ads before and couldn’t tell if it worked
You’ve Googled your own business and seen the chains ranked above you
If three of those sound familiar, the call is worth 30 minutes.
We rebuild your Google Business Profile, Google Ads, and local SEO as one system — measured in new member enquiries, not clicks.
What happens in your first 30 days
WEEK 1
Technical SEO audit, GBP audit, competitor analysis on your top 3 local rivals, conversion tracking setup in GA4 and Google Ads.
WEEK 2
GBP rebuild (categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A), citation cleanup, on-page SEO fixes on your key pages.
WEEK 3
Google Ads rebuild — new campaign structure, conversion-focused keyword lists, negative keyword cleanup, landing page alignment.
WEEK 4
First new service or location page live, ads launched, first weekly check-in, Loom walkthrough of everything that was done.
By day 90, here’s what changes
Your GBP moves from position 5–8 into the local 3-pack for your main “gym in [suburb]” search
Every ad click is tagged to a call, form fill, or booking — you know which keywords bring paying members
8–12 new location or service pages indexed and ranking for long-tail searches
Off-peak class bookings start filling from paid and organic traffic, not just referrals
A full-time marketing hire costs $5K–$8K/month before ad spend. You get the same output for less than half.
Flat monthly fee
3-month minimum. Month-to-month after.
Flat monthly fee: $2,500/month
Ad spend billed directly by Google — we don’t mark it up
3-month minimum, month-to-month after
90-day guarantee
If your enquiry volume hasn’t measurably increased by day 90, month 4 is free while we fix it.
Why 3 months minimum? Google’s local algorithm needs 60–90 days to re-rank after GBP and on-page changes. Anyone promising results in 30 days is running ads, not doing SEO. After month 3, cancel any time.

From position #7 to #2 in 90 days
Keystone came to us with Google Ads that weren’t tagged to conversions and a Google Business Profile stuck at position 7 for “gym in Maitland.” Here’s what 90 days of the system delivered.

Common Questions
No. We ask for 3 months because Google's local algorithm genuinely needs 60–90 days to respond to GBP and on-page changes — promising faster is dishonest. After month 3, cancel any time with 7 days' notice.
First GBP ranking movement around day 30–45. Ad conversion data inside the first two weeks. Meaningful enquiry volume increase from day 60 onwards. The 90-day guarantee applies: if enquiries haven't measurably increased by day 90, month 4 is free while we fix it.
The real concern here is wasted spend. If you're doing under $30K/month, the retainer plus ad budget is usually too much too fast — we'll say so on the call and point you at the DIY path instead. $30K–$100K/month is the band where this pays back inside a quarter.
If you've been burned before, here's the honest version: you deal with me, not a rotating account manager. You get the technical SEO, the Google Ads rebuild, and the ongoing content from the same person — nothing falls between the cracks. At month 3, if we can't show real enquiries, we tell you instead of quietly renewing.
No. This package is built around Google Maps, local search, and people searching for a gym near them. Online-only coaches win on different channels — Instagram, YouTube, paid social — where we'd only be half-useful. If you run a physical location (even one studio), you're a fit.
Every month you get a plain-English report and a 30-min call walking through what's landing enquiries and what isn't. At day 90, if enquiry volume hasn't measurably increased, month 4 is free while we fix it. Everything we've built — GBP, ad account, tracking, website changes — stays in your name either way.
